Conducting High-quality Education Research in Computing Designed to Support CS for All
This 4-hour affiliated event will focus on sharing the recently created set of guidelines for conducting high-quality education research in computing that addresses the needs of students from all walks of life. This event is directed towards graduate students studying computer science education research as well as current researchers who want to learn more about characteristics of high-quality education research. Participants will learn about the guidelines and associated resources, discuss their application to current or proposed research projects, and gain a new appreciation for how to embed equity perspectives in different phases of their research. Specifically, participants will develop a broader perspective of literature reviews, ways to approach writing well-crafted abstracts, strategies for engaging with participants, and how to incorporate ethics into research. As a bonus, we’ll also dive into publication strategies, so when an article is rejected, you can reset, revise, and resubmit to other publication venues. This presentation will consider different aspects of education research than our event at SIGCSE 2024 and repeat attendees are welcome and encouraged.
