    Digital Youth Divas: Exploring Narrative-Driven Curriculum to Spark Middle School Girls’ Interest in Computational Activities
    1
    1. jrusert 03 Nov 2020
      DYD is an out-of-school program developed to engage middle school girls indesign-based engineering and computer science activities, with a special focus onrecruiting and retaining girls from underrepresented urban communities, especiallygirls who have not expressed interest in STEM.

      I am a little confused by the thought process here: 1) If it is the way that curriculum is currently taught that pushes girls away from STEM, shouldn't reforming that be the focus? 2) If it is the outside environment, do we need to address any nature vs nurture arguments, or is the assumption that it is nurture that is the biggest driving factor?

    Identity, Goals, and Learning: Mathematics in Cultural Practice
    1
    1. jrusert 03 Nov 2020
      Studieshave shown that many students can do mathematics (i.e., they can apply formulasto get numerical answers) but may not understand the concepts behind the proce-dures they learn to apply.

      Reminds me of the chinese room problem.

    Tangible Interaction and Cultural Forms: Supporting Learning in Informal Environments

      In contrast, the most salient aspects of the graphicalsystem might have been the physical components, the computer mouse andmonitor—entirely different (and more polymorphic) cultural forms with dif-ferent associated resources

      I would be curious to see if computer interaction would have increased if the designers used a touch screen rather than mouse, as many young kids are familiar with tablets.

      we found that RSM diversity was correlated with learning outcomes;that is, the greater the RSM diversity, the better the learning outcomes on average.

      Given that the DI also included already designed RSMs, does this suggest that increase the diversity in DI RSMs will help learning outcomes as well?

      5 Discussion and implications for pedagogy

      Interesting paper, but ultimately unnecessary when we can just let deep learning models identify the useful features in data for us ;) /s

      Data literacy, encompassing collecting, managing, interpreting, evaluating and applying data in support of evidence-based decision making, is considered an important skill in all disciplines, not just CS [12].

      Wouldn't this be mass collection of data? As science classes should already have collection of data, and math classes have some analysis of smaller tables of data

      When the K-12 CS Framework was released in 2016 [18], it filled a definitional role in the field by providing guidance on what concepts students are expected to know and what practices students are expected to be able to demonstrate within certain grade band

      I'm a little fuzzy on the end goal of the computational thinking concepts students are required to know. Is it to increase their ability to pick up new technology, or more CS/coding focused?

      chool administrators and parents must also value these new programs,allowing faculty the flexibility to overcome the hiccups that new technologies inevitablyface.

      I think the argument of linking video games to violence from time to time, might also cause parents mistrust of their use in education

      I think one would be hard pressed to find many Computer Scientists who weren't first inspired at the possibility to make games

      The ergonomics of the environment prototype were very poor, studentshaving to edit too many html files.

      In theory, technology has now addressed this with things like google docs and overleaf.

      In tinkering, learners continually reassess their goals, explore new paths, and, in the process, imagine new possibilities

      One thing I've noticed of new CS students is their fear of tinkering. By this, I mean instead of running a program and working off of feedback, they will wait for a TA to verify their program, much like answering a math question.

      I feel like idea improvement can also give positive reinforcement to move students towards an intrinsic learning attitude rather than the extrinsic one that is often focused on.

      that the student, much like the workeror the painter, will return to ground zero when scaffolding isremoved.

      But the painting or building will be filled in, as the scaffolding helped the student reach the areas and fill in the knowledge they could not reach... I don't get this complaint.

      Is there ever any worry that a student will not put forth much effort as they know they will always have a group to pick up their slack?
