Abstract

The development of student identities—their interests in computer science, perceptions of the discipline, and sense of belonging in the field—is critical for broadening participation of underrepresented groups in computing. This paper reports on the design of portfolios in which two classes of high school students reflected on the process of making electronic textile projects. We examine how students expressed self-authorship in relation to computer science and how the use of reflective portfolios shaped students’ perceptions of computer science. In the discussion we consider how reflective portfolios can serve as ideational resources for computer science identity construction.

与计算机科学的联系：电子纺织品档案作为高中生的理想身份资源

学生身份的发展——他们对计算机科学的兴趣、对学科的看法和对该领域的归属感——对于扩大代表性不足群体在计算机领域的参与至关重要。本文报告了两个班的高中生对电子纺织品项目制作过程的反思。我们研究了学生如何在计算机科学中表达自己的作者身份，以及反思性作品集的使用如何塑造学生对计算机科学的看法。在讨论中，我们考虑了反思性作品集如何作为计算机科学身份构建的概念资源。
