Title: Computer Science for All? As a new subject spreads, debates flare about precisely what is taught, to whom, and for what purpose.
Authors: OLDHAM, JENNIFER
Source: Education Next. Fall2021, Vol. 21 Issue 4, p44-51. 8p.
Subject Terms: *Computer science, *Computer science education, *Artificial intelligence, *Advanced placement programs (Education), *Native American students, *Computer literacy, Scientific computing
Abstract: The article discusses that the debates flare about precisely what is taught, to whom, and for what purpose. It mentions that Reitz-Larsen is teaching computer science through movement. The former German-language and business instructor found that linking difficult concepts such as algorithms and the binary system to students' interests helps the students grasp a topic that many were leery about before they stepped into her class.
