Computing has an essential role in nearly all aspects of the modern world. Beginning as specialized equipment used by few people, computers are now integral to virtually every field and are used by billions of people across every continent. As a result, computing education is no longer a specialized field that only future computing professionals need to master. Instead, computing education must evolve to ensure that all students master the computing skills needed to thrive in a world that will increasingly depend on computing. The goal of this project is to facilitate a virtual workshop attended by a range of computing professionals, including academics and practitioners. These professionals will explore the problems and challenges affecting the growth and vitality of computing education. They will also identify strategies and solutions to help address these challenges and to ensure that computing education meets future societal needs. The results of this workshop will provide a research agenda of the critical topics and questions that must be addressed by computing education research so that the nation can prepare a computing literate public as well as the computing workforce of the future. The workshop will facilitate a discussion among the affinity groups who collectively participate in computing education research, specifically targeting issues related to preparing students who are computationally fluent, and building and enhancing the computing professional workforce, which includes research software engineers, research data science professionals, advanced cyberinfrastructure systems professionals, and others. The goals will be to identify challenge areas, discuss and identify potential research directions, and develop a set of recommendations for consideration by the national research community and funding agencies. The workshop will explore how to advance the computing education research areas that will produce the knowledge needed to advance computing education’s outcomes, efficiency, and effectiveness for all learners. The project will produce a report with recommendations for a computing education research agenda that will lay the foundation for educating a computing-savvy public and preparing learners for computing career paths. Completing this agenda is expected to support the growth of a diverse computing workforce that can collaborate across traditional boundaries and that supports the computing research and education enterprise. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools. It is also supported by the IUSE:CUE program, which seeks to re-envision the role of computing in undergraduate education while continuing to emphasize the need for more diverse student populations for careers in both computing and non-computing fields, and the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program, which funds proposals that address cybersecurity and privacy, and in this case specifically cybersecurity education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

计算在现代世界几乎所有方面都具有重要的作用。从几乎没有人使用的专业设备开始，计算机现在几乎是每个领域不可或缺的一部分，并且在每个大陆上数十亿人使用。结果，计算教育不再是一个专业领域，只有未来的计算专业人员才能掌握。取而代之的是，计算教育必须发展，以确保所有学生掌握该项目目标所需的计算技能是促进包括学者和实践者在内的一系列计算专业人员参加的虚拟研讨会。这些专业人员将探讨影响计算教育增长和活力的问题和挑战。他们还将确定策略和解决方案，以帮助应对这些挑战，并确保计算教育满足未来的社会需求。该研讨会的结果将提供有关必须通过计算教育研究来解决的关键主题和问题的研究议程，以便国家可以准备计算文字公众以及未来的计算员工。该研讨会将在共同参与计算教育研究的亲和力小组之间进行讨论，特别是针对与计算流利的学生有关的问题，并建立和增强计算机专业人士，其中包括研究软件工程师，研究数据科学专业人员，高级Cyber​​infrastructure Systems专业人员等。目标是确定挑战领域，讨论和确定潜在的研究指示，并制定一组建议，以供国家研究社区和资助机构考虑。研讨会将探讨如何推进计算教育研究领域，这些研究领域将产生为所有学习者带来计算教育成果，有效性和有效性所需的知识。该项目将为计算教育研究议程提供建议，该报告将奠定基础，以教育精通计算机的公众并为学习者做好计算职业道路的准备。预计完成此议程将支持潜水员计算员工的增长，该计算劳动力可以在传统边界进行协作，并支持计算研究和教育企业。 NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过参与的学生学习轨道，该计划支持了承诺实践和工具的创建，探索和实施。 It is also supported by the IUSE:CUE program, which seeks to re-envision the role of computing in undergraduate education while continuing to emphasize the need for more diverse student populations for careers in both computing and non-computing fields, and the Secure and Trustworthy Cyber​​space (SaTC) program, which funds proposals that address cybersecurity and privacy, and in this case specifically cybersecurity education.This award反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
