摘要

在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡附近的阿巴拉契亚北部地区,许多高中没有计算机科学课程,所以学生们没有被介绍到这个大多数技术职业道路所需要的关键学科。我们独特的策略是邀请宾夕法尼亚州、西弗吉尼亚州、俄亥俄州和马里兰州的高中科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教师参加3个夏季研讨会,展示如何将计算概念融入现有的STEM课程。通过与教师合作,研究如何将编程和计算思维融入他们的课堂,我们将有效地接触到那些没有计算机科学课程的地区的大量学生。在本文中,我们概述了项目的现状和我们收集的一些数据。该项目的未来目标包括对教师的影响进行严格评价,并编写讲习班材料以供更广泛传播。

Work in progress: ACTIVATE: Advancing computing and technology interest and innovation through teacher education
In the Northern Appalachian region around Pittsburgh, PA, many high schools do not have computer science courses, so students are not introduced to this critical subject that is needed for most technical career paths. Our unique strategy is to invite current high school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland, to participate in 3 summer workshops showing how to incorporate computing concepts into existing STEM courses. By working with teachers on how to assimilate programming and computational thinking into their classrooms we will effectively reach a large population of students in areas where computer science classes are not available. In this paper, we outline the current state of the project and some of the data we have collected. Future goals for this project include performing a rigorous evaluation of teacher impact and developing the workshop materials for wider dissemination.
