Abstract

In this paper, I reflect on how my personal conceptions on “theory” have developed and become more diverse and elaborated during my career. I discuss early conceptions I learned in school and during my university studies, followed by the growing awareness of computing education research as a field that is distinct from many areas of computer science. Becoming aware of how research is carried out in social sciences and how theories are used in these contexts raised my interest in understanding what this implies for computing education research as a field, which has been building its own identity during the past 20+ years.

关于理论的思考

在这篇论文中，我反思了我个人对“理论”的概念是如何在我的职业生涯中发展和变得更加多样化和细化的。我讨论了我在学校和大学学习期间学到的早期概念，随后人们越来越意识到计算教育研究是一个与计算机科学的许多领域截然不同的领域。意识到社会科学的研究是如何进行的，以及理论是如何在这些背景下使用的，这让我对理解这对计算机教育研究这个领域意味着什么产生了兴趣，这个领域在过去的20多年里一直在建立自己的身份。

期刊介绍： ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE) (formerly named JERIC, Journal on Educational Resources in Computing) covers diverse aspects of computing education: traditional computer science, computer engineering, information technology, and informatics; emerging aspects of computing; and applications of computing to other disciplines. The common characteristics shared by these papers are a scholarly approach to teaching and learning, a broad appeal to educational practitioners, and a clear connection to student learning.
