Teaching coding in schools: implications for employability and inclusion. A comparative study of the UK and Singapore.

这位候选人提出了一个在英国和新加坡开发新的计算机课程的尝试的比较研究。特别关注教师如何（以及以何种做法和动机）实施这些新课程，候选人特别感兴趣的是课程如何产生新形式的数字不平等，特别是与性别有关的数字不平等。利用混合方法，比较案例研究的方法，候选人打算作出新的理论贡献，远离人力资本理论在我们如何看待教育，而不是专注于代理和经验在课堂上。

This candidate proposes a comparative study of attempts to develop new computing curricula in the UK and Singapore. Focusing especially on how (and with what practice and motivations) teachers implement these new curricula, the candidate is especially interested in how the curricula may produce new forms of digital inequality, especially in relation to gender. Drawing on a mixed-methods, comparative case study approach, the candidate intends to make new theoretical contributions, moving away from Human Capital Theory in how we conceive of education, to focus instead on agency and experience in the classroom.
