There is greater demand for Computer Science (CS) to be taught in elementary education as more states pass policies requiring it. Integrating CS into elementary education provides a viable avenue to teach CS to all students and can result in more ...

In the last decade many countries have introduced Computing in school curricula, most including at least basic concepts as mandatory topics. In 2017/2018 a new National Standard for School Curricula was approved in Brazil, but Computing foundations were ...

A significant part of the recently published ACM and IEEE-CS report "Computing Curricula 2020: Paradigms for Global Computing Education" [1] was the development of visualizations of any computing degree and the comparison with the ACM and IEEE-CS ...

This paper advocates for the integration of environmental aspects in computing curricula, with a focus on higher education. We created knowledge-based curriculum specifications in order to help teachers who wish to add knowledge foundation on computing ...

In 2005, the ACM, together with the IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Information Systems, released Computing Curricula 2005: The Overview Report[1]. This document has proven to be one of the most widely circulated and influential documents ...

Does the current recommended computing curricula prepare our students to work in the business world? Technology does not exist in a silo. Technical employees work in departments, where they manage projects, people, and budgets. Many computing ...

The low academic results and mathematical difficulties experienced by students in learning theoretical computer science have been one of the reasons why many undergraduate students postpone the study of their theoretical subjects until absolutely ...

The academic results that students of computer science degrees obtain in their learning of subjects of theoretical computer science are traditionally low, as a consequence of the difficulties students experience due to their little theoretical ...

This Working Group aims to take the current approved Computer Science curricula document, CS2013, and redevelop it into competency statements. The CC2020 project has designed and built a prototype of a visualization tool to compare and contrast current ...

The CC2020 project was charged with two main objectives, to produce a comprehensive report and a visualization tool to provide global guidance in an evolving computing environment as it affects computing baccalaureate degree programs worldwide. The ...

The update of the broadly influential document Computing Curricula 2005 (CC2005), is underway with a project called Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020). The project consists of a task force of more than forty academic, industry, and government ...

Theoretical computing is a difficult area to teach in university courses due to different causes. Many students who begin computing subjects have little mathematical or theoretical background. It is important that students acquire an intuitive knowledge ...

The purpose of this poster is to provide practical arguments to stimulate debate and discussion on whether or not to introduce concepts of theoretical computer science in the pre-university education system, conveniently adapted within students' ...

This birds-of-a-feather session discusses the global project Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020), a joint project launched by professional computing societies worldwide. CC2020 is a priority of the ACM Education Council; its sponsors include ACM, IEEE ...

Parallel surveys of introductory programming courses were conducted in Australasia and the UK, with a view to examining the programming languages being used, the preferred integrated development environments (if any), and the reasons for these choices, ...

This paper describes an ongoing process of assessment that lays the foundation for the success of the Master of Science in Information Technology degree (MSIT). It also presents a plan for a complete revision of the MSIT program using a proposed ...

IT2017 report is the second edition of the ACM/IEEE-CS Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Information Technology. The report is scheduled to replace its predecessor, the IT2008 report, by the end of this year. A twelve-member diverse ...

This panel discusses the development of a global, futuristic computing overview curricular report called Computing Curricular 2020, also known as CC2020. This new document, which is an initiative of the ACM Education Council, published by ACM, will be a ...

Many believe that the push to increase the number of skilled computer scientists must be a multi-pronged approach and be institutionalized at all levels of education. Some federal and local governments are requiring that all students become proficient ...
