Book Description

This year, an ITiCSE record of 243 papers were submitted, of which 66 were accepted, giving an acceptance rate of 27%. Of these papers, just over half had an author from the United States or Canada, while European authors were represented in about 40% of the papers. We also accepted papers with authors from Central and South America, China, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East, giving us a truly international avour of current Computer Science Education research and practice. In addition to the Paper, Poster and Panel submissions, and Tips, Techniques and Courseware presentations, we have ten Working Groups investigating these topics: the pacing of introductory CS courses; fostering program comprehension for novice programmers; exploring pass rates in computing and other STEM subjects; sustainability issues in CS; diversity in the cybersecurity eld; data science education; benchmarking K-12 CS education in schools; developing a model curriculum for cloud computing; and designing better compiler error messages. The reports from these groups will be published in a companion volume to the nal proceedings, but we look forward to the working groups presenting preliminary findings during the conference.
