Education



-- COVID-19: Due to the changing conditions related to the spread of the Covid-19 virus we have started discussions about the possibility of accommodating virtual participation for delegates. We are hopeful that the situation will be restored to normal by the time of the conference in mid-October. --
The Computer Science Education Research Conference (CSERC) is an international forum for researchers with interests in educational aspects of all computing disciplines including computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, and information systems. It embraces a broad view of the current and future trends in computing education and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research and empirical results.
Submissions to CSERC ‘20 (if accepted, published in the ACM Digital Library) might cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• Specific educational subject matters, such as programming, database systems, computer security, and modelling
• Particular educational innovations, such as MOOCs, flipped-classroom, game-based education, and E-Learning
• Specific groups of students, such as first years, women, master’s students, minorities, impaired students
• Broader topics, such as curriculum, lifelong learning, group-work, assessment, just in time vs. just in case education, class infrastructure, integration of industry in education.
Submissions
Original and unpublished submissions in all areas related to computing education are invited in the following categories:
• Research Paper: Reporting theoretical or theoretically informed empirical studies undertaken to investigate a specific aspect or address a particular problem in computing education
• Experience Report: Describing a classroom innovation and an evaluation of its impact
• Software Report: Describing developed tools for supporting teaching, learning or assessment in computing education
Types of accepted submissions include:
• Full Paper (approximately 12 pages)
• Practical Report (about 6 pages)
• Poster (2 pages)
