ABSTRACT
The increasing role of computation in today's society requires us to go beyond computer science courses to integrating computational tools and practices within disciplinary contexts. However, we know little about what integration looks like in primary, secondary, and university classrooms. In this panel, we share perspectives on the importance of developing knowledge of computation in a digitized world and how it could be integrated within disciplinary context. In particular, we will discuss what embedding computation looks like at the elementary, secondary, and university level and how it can support disciplinary learning.

Exploring Math + CS in a Secondary Education Methods Course
SIGCSE 2022: Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education - Volume 1There is wide-spread agreement that K-12 students need opportunities to explore computer science (CS) concepts and computational thinking within a wide array of disciplines for advancing, broadening, and diversifying the participation in CS. Programs ...
Evaluation and development of STEAM teachers’ computational thinking skills: Analysis of multiple influential factors
AbstractComputational thinking (CT) has become the basic foothold of STEAM education. The role of teachers as an essential element of CT education cannot be ignored. Therefore, measuring teachers’ ability to integrate CT into classroom is necessary. There ...
A Computational Thinking Obstacle Course Based on Bebras Tasks for K-12 Schools
ITiCSE 2023: Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 1This paper describes an unplugged computational thinking (CT) resource for primary and secondary schools developed from Bebras tasks. In Ireland, CT is not part of the primary school curriculum or mandatory in secondary schools. However, the National ...
