Collaborative Research: Commonsense Computing: What students know before we teach

计算机科学(31)这个合作项目涉及六个机构，旨在确定学生在开始第一门计算机课程之前已有的关于计算机科学主题的知识。识别这些先入为主的概念可以用来通过帮助学生在他们的先入为主的背景下学习新的概念来提供信息和改变计算机科学入门教学。将要探讨的主题包括：条件表达式、搜索、用户界面设计和评估以及并发性。

Computer Science (31)This collaborative project, involving six institutions, is identifying the preexisting knowledge students have about computer science topics prior to their starting a first course in computing. Identifying these preconceptions can be used to inform and transform introductory computer science instruction by helping students to learn new concepts within the contexts of their preconceptions. Topics to be explored include: conditional expressions, search, user-interface design and evaluation, and concurrency.
