These workshops intend to help reduce anxiety during group work and to promote inclusive and equitable collaborative learning environments. Unfortunately, single-paced instructional approaches are typically applied in learning environments [3] and do not consider students' needs when learning nor provide soft-skills guidance that encourages equal participation. The workshops offer educator and student support for equitable group work through upskilling students' soft skills, such as leadership and communication, that promote better teamwork. By assisting students in developing and practising soft and self-reflection skills, they might have the opportunity to contribute to solving the activity, enabling them to participate equally. This poster includes an experimental study plan to integrate and evaluate the effects of these workshops.","PeriodicalId":366365,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 2","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122061851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important part comprises Computational Thinking for 3rd and 4th year students, and Computer Science for students in their 5th and 6th year. Yet, most teachers, who have mostly not been trained to teach these subjects, do not feel confident in programming-related topics. With eTeacher, we take away this burden from the teacher and allow students to work independently and at their own pace. In particular, we present a platform with an integrated course text for Computational Thinking. eTeacher is available on every device, gives automatic code-feedback both content-wise and on programming style and provides exercises of different types and levels. Teachers can monitor their students individually and consult statistics. The platform was extensively evaluated in a pilot at 20 schools.","PeriodicalId":366365,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 2","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129843728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last 15 years significant advances in quantum technologies have led to a new awareness about their impact on computing (QC). There are now 60 companies worldwide that build quantum computers. In the US the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) was created in 2018 to accelerate the quantum industry by establishing a robust supply chain and infrastructure, including workforce and standards. But the continued absence of any serious education in quantum mechanics in a large fraction of traditional US engineering programs, including computer engineering and the closely related CS and data science programs, present many BS degree STEM graduates with the daunting problem of how to get trained quickly and efficiently to pursue the new opportunities in Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST). To address this issue the ACM Board of Education has teamed up with the QED-C Workforce Development TAC and has developed (for the first time ever and over a period of 18 months) a Quantum Architectures (Q-AR) Knowledge Unit (KU) for CS2023. In November 2022 we asked the QED-C members (industry, academia, national labs, and government agencies) to comment on the proposed competency-based curricular plans along with the selected topics and learning outcomes. We present the analysis of the data we collected during that process.","PeriodicalId":366365,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 2","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116026215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
