Computational Thinking and Fluency in the 21st Century

美国大学理事会建议召集本科计算机科学教育专家小组，就理想、未来、高级预科班(AP)计算机科学课程及其对该学科的影响展开对话。这种对AP CS课程的重新设想是在计算机科学本科课程发生前沿变化的背景下进行的。在现有的美国国家科学基金会资助的项目的基础上建设？从研究到实践：重新设计AP科学课程以提高科学素养并支持理解学习？新的课程设计将采用教育学的最佳做法，旨在吸引和激发所有学生，包括低收入和少数族裔服务学校的学生。这一奖项将汇集专家，他们将以咨询身份发挥作用，为更大的项目提供指导。

The College Board proposes to convene a group of experts in undergraduate computer science education in order to begin a conversation about the ideal, future, Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science course and its impact on the discipline. This re-envisioning of the AP CS course is happening in the context of cutting edge changes occurring in computer science undergraduate programs. Building on an existing NSF-funded project ? From Research to Practice: Redesigning AP Science Courses to Advance Science Literacy and Support Learning with Understanding ? the new course design will use best practices in pedagogy and it will aim to engage and excite all students, including those at low income and minority serving schools. This award will bring together experts who will function in an advisory capacity, providing direction to the larger project.
