Where making construals meets learning to code
Pages 159 - 160
Abstract
The role that computing has come to play in the contemporary world motivates two topical concerns: how to develop and educate the next generation of computing specialists, and how to help computing non-specialists to understand the broader significance of computing in human and social terms. In this short paper, we discuss how research into 'making construals' may contribute to achieving both of these goals.
