CSforAll Knowledge Forum x CSNYC: Engaging Research for Practice in CS Education

纽约市计算机科学教育基金会(CSNYC)建议邀请著名的计算机科学教育研究人员、实践者和资助者参与讨论，讨论如何最好地利用计算机科学教育，并开展研究，以支持对每个儿童实施计算机科学教育。2016年，CSNYC举办了一次类似的活动--知识论坛，重点是确定纽约市实施CS4All的研究和评估的初步议程。该论坛有两个结论：实施应该是K-12 CS研究的优先事项，K-12 CS研究界重视直接从决策者和实践者那里学习的机会。在此，CSNYC提议举办第二届年度知识论坛，以2016年的经验和见解为基础，并利用通过最近成立的CSforAll联盟(csforall.org)开发的更广泛的全国社区的知识。今年，知识论坛的重点将是如何最好地利用和进行研究，以支持对每一个儿童实施CS教育。议程将包括简短的讲座和小组讨论，有来自CS和更广泛的K-12教育界的主要代表参加，以及小组分组会议，阐述与利用研究设计和开展对K-12 CS在实践中的实施情况的形成性审查有关的具体问题并确定优先顺序。全天，CSNYC的代表将记录对话，引出问题和优先事项，促进联系，并确定如何通过研究人员、系统领导人和学校一级从业人员之间的更大参与和透明度来最好地支持这两项工作。讲习班的成果将侧重于可持续实施K-12计算机科学教育的研究-实践伙伴关系。它们将产生一份报告，提供建立和维持伙伴关系的原则，并描述为改进执行而开展研究的模式和机制。该报告将勾勒出实施研究的优先事项，以指导在不同环境中设计、组织和提供K-12 CS教育，并确定如何支持研究界与实践者建立伙伴关系，以促进CS教育的实施。

The New York City Foundation for Computer Science Education (CSNYC) proposes to engage prominent researchers, practitioners, and funders of CS education in discussions on how best to use and to conduct research in support of the implementation of CS education for every child. In 2016, CSNYC held a similar event -- a Knowledge Forum focused on defining the initial agenda for the research and evaluation for New York City's implementation of CS4All. That Forum had two findings: implementation should be a priority for K-12 CS research, and the K-12 CS research community values opportunities to learn directly from decision-makers and practitioners. Here, CSNYC proposes the 2nd Annual Knowledge Forum to build on the experiences and insights from 2016, and to leverage the knowledge of the wider, national community being developed through the recently launched CSforAll Consortium (csforall.org). This year, the Knowledge Forum will focus on how best to use and to conduct research in support of the implementation of CS education for every child. The agenda will include short talks and panel discussions featuring key representatives from the both the CS and wider K-12 education communities, as well as small-group breakout sessions to surface and prioritize specific issues related to using research for designing and conducting formative reviews of K-12 CS implementation in practice. Throughout the day CSNYC representatives will document conversations, elicit questions and priorities, facilitate connections and identify how best to support both the work through greater engagement and transparency among researchers, system-leaders and school-level practitioners. The outcomes from the workshop will focus on research-practice partnerships for the sustainable implementation of K-12 CS education. They will result in a report that provides principles for forming and sustaining partnerships, and describes models and mechanisms for conducting research for improving implementation. The report will delineate implementation research priorities to guide the design, organization and delivery of K-12 CS education in diverse settings, and define ways the research community can be supported in building partnerships with practitioners that promote the implementation of CS education.
