WiPSCE: 13th Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing Education
Veranstaltungsort
Universität Potsdam - Campus GriebnitzseeAugust-Bebel-Straße 89
14482 Potsdam, Deutschland
Beschreibung
Research in primary and secondary computing education is a young field with strong ties to national educational systems. Nevertheless, its theories, methods, and results are internationally applicable and of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field.
WiPSCE aims at improving the exchange of research and practice relevant to teaching and learning in primary and secondary computing education, teacher training, and related research.
WiPSCE has its roots in a long-running workshop of the German computing education community and is run in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE. Accepted papers will be published in the WiPSCE 2018 proceedings as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. The proceedings will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
