Supporting a Community Building Workshop in Computer Education Research

为了加深我们对计算教育现状的了解，并促进该领域的发展，推进计算教育伙伴关系(PACE)建议组织一次关于计算教育研究的跨学科规划研讨会。PACE是由ACM、信息系统协会、IEEE-计算机学会、计算机科学教师协会、计算研究协会和国家妇女与信息技术中心组成的联盟，致力于改善计算劳动力的准备工作。通过领先的计算和教育研究人员的讨论，我们建议实现以下目标：(I)对计算各分学科的计算机教育研究状况达成共识，找出差距和重叠；(Ii)确定计算机教育研究目前的优势和未来的机会；(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；以及(Iv)鼓励在零散的研究领域共享知识。

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.
