Drawing together the most up-to-date research from experts all across the world, the second edition of Computer Science Education offers the most up-to-date coverage available on this developing subject, ideal for building confidence of new pre-service and in-service educators teaching a new discipline. It provides an international overview of key concepts, pedagogical approaches and assessment practices. Highlights of the second edition include: - New sections on machine learning and data-driven (epistemic) programming - A new focus on equity and inclusion in computer science education - Chapters updated throughout, including a revised chapter on relating ethical and societal aspects to knowledge-rich aspects of computer science education - A new set of chapters on the learning of programming, including design, pedagogy and misconceptions - A chapter on the way we use language in the computer science classroom. The book is structured to support the reader with chapter outlines, synopses and key points.
