Aims and Scope

The 22nd annual ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research (ICER) aims to gather high-quality contributions to the Computing Education Research discipline. The “Research Papers” track invites submissions describing original research results related to any aspect of teaching and learning computing, from introductory through advanced material. Submissions are welcome from across the research methods used in Computing Education Research and related fields. Each contribution will be assessed based on:

the appropriateness and soundness of its methods
its relevance to teaching or learning computing,
the depth of its contribution to the community’s understanding of the question at hand.

Research areas of particular interest include:

design-based research, learner-centered design, and evaluation of educational technology supporting computing knowledge or skills development,
discipline based education research (DBER) about computing, computer science, and related disciplines,
informal learning experiences related to programming and software development (all ages), ranging from after-school programs for children, to end-user development communities, to workplace training of computing professionals,
learnability of programming languages and tools for learning programming and computing concepts,
learning analytics and educational data mining in computing education contexts,
learning sciences work in the computing content domain,
measurement instrument development and validation (e.g., concept inventories, attitudes scales, etc) for use in computing disciplines,
pedagogical environments fostering computational thinking,
psychology of programming,
rigorous replication of empirical work, relevant to computing education, to compare with or extend previous empirical research results,
professional development for computing educators at all levels.

Full submission instructions will be made available soon.
