A Pragmatic Perspective on Programming in Danish Tertiary Education (Doctoral Consortium)

Published: 06 February 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Computing education has gained global momentum, but little attention has been given to how programming has organically permeated diverse educational programmes. This study investigates the autonomous inclusion of programming in Danish tertiary education programmes by developing a data set comprising course descriptions of Danish tertiary courses introducing programming to shed light on how programming is implemented across disciplines and provide valuable insights for continuing to do so.
