Supporting a Community Building Workshop in Computer Education Research

为了提高我们对计算机教育现状的理解并促进该领域的发展，推进计算机教育伙伴关系（PACE）建议组织一次跨学科的计算机教育研究计划研讨会。PACE是由美国计算机协会、信息系统协会、ieee计算机协会、计算机科学教师协会、计算机研究协会和国家妇女与信息技术中心组成的联盟，致力于改善计算机劳动力的准备。通过领先的计算和教育研究人员之间的讨论，我们建议实现以下目标：(i)建立对跨计算子学科计算教育研究现状的共同理解，找出差距和重叠；（ii）找出电脑教育研究的现时优势及未来机会；（iii）评估建立改善基础设施的机制的可行性，例如研究协调网络；（iv）鼓励分散的研究领域之间的知识共享。

To improve our understanding of the state of computing education and to grow the field, the Partnership for Advancing Computing Education (PACE) proposes to organize an interdisciplinary planning workshop on computing education research. PACE, a coalition of the ACM, the Association of Information Systems, IEEE-Computer Society, Computer Science Teachers Association, the Computing Research Association, and the National Center for Women & IT, is dedicated to improving the preparation of the computing workforce. Through discussion among leading computing and education researchers, we propose to achieve the following goals:(i) to develop a shared understanding of the state of computing education research across subdisciplinesof computing, identifying gaps and overlaps;(ii) to identify present strengths and future opportunities for research on computing education;(iii) to assess the viability of building mechanisms for improved infrastructure, such as a research coordination network, and(iv) to encourage knowledge sharing across the fragmented domains of study.
