This document summarizes a study conducted by Young Women in Computing (YWiC) to analyze factors impacting student interest in computer science. YWiC administered surveys before and after classroom workshops ("roadshows") to measure changes in interest and knowledge of computer science. Key findings include: 1) The percentage of students reporting being "super interested" in computer science increased 33% after roadshows, while those with little interest decreased 23%. 2) Student knowledge of basic computer science concepts increased 66% after roadshows. 3) While not definitive, the data suggests roadshows are effective at increasing student interest in computer science. Future work will use survey data to improve outreach and teaching techniques.

Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology
The UTAUT model aims to explain user intentions to use information systems and subsequent usage behavior. It was developed by reviewing and consolidating eight previous models of technology acceptance. The UTAUT model proposes four key constructs that influence usage intention and behavior: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Gender, age, experience, and voluntariness of use are hypothesized to moderate the impact of the four constructs. Several studies have applied the UTAUT model to domains such as mobile service adoption, social media adoption, and computer use frequency. Some researchers have also extended the UTAUT model by adding additional constructs. However, others have critiqued the UTAUT model for having many independent variables and

[DSC Europe 22] Machine learning algorithms as tools for student success pred...DataScienceConferenc1
The goal of higher education institutions is to provide quality education to students. Predicting academic success and early intervention to help at-risk students is an important task for this purpose. This talk explores the possibilities of applying machine learning in developing predictive models of academic performance. What factors lead to success at university? Are there differences between students of different generations? Answers are given by applying machine learning algorithms to a data set of 400 students of three generations of IT studies. The results show differences between students with regard to student responsibility and regularity of class attendance and great potential of applying machine learning in developing predictive models.2013LilyPadvsAppInventor
Through its research and outreach programs, YWiC found that to successfully teach computer science concepts, instruction must quickly engage students, efficiently teach the most important concepts, and adapt to students' understanding. YWiC compared traditional coding with LilyPad Arduino to block-based coding with App Inventor and found students learned more from LilyPad if only using one, but combining the tools taught the most concepts. Going forward, YWiC plans to streamline teaching LilyPad and App Inventor to increase the number of concepts taught in less time while maintaining student interest.

The researcher conducted a survey of 153 graduate students in Iran to understand how perceived usefulness, enjoyment, and mobility of LMS impact continued usage. Results from partial least squares analysis showed that perceived usefulness and hedonic aspects like enjoyment positively influenced continued use, while mobility features did not. However, the study was limited by its cross-sectional design, single university sample, and lack of analysis of demographic differences. The researcher concludes by emphasizing predictors of LMS perceived usefulness and calling for further examination of hedonic and mobility aspects.

Engagement in a guided game design program called Globaloria was found to mitigate some effects of the digital divide. Students reported greater engagement in school computer use and more advanced computer activities after participating. Previously, higher parent education and self-reported grades predicted more computer use, but these differences were reduced after the program. The findings suggest participation in constructionist digital literacy programs can attenuate inequalities linked to socioeconomic status.

Quantitatively increasing information renders it important to possess the skills necessary for reaching the required information and using the information effectively in line with the requirements. These skills are discussed in the information literacy concept and educational institutions are expected to provide individuals with these skills. Within this scope, the study was conducted with university students and the effects of their education on the information literacy were sought. The study was performed on students at two different departments which are closely related to information and information technologies for the purpose of clearly explaining the relationship between the educational processes and information literacy. The two departments included in the study are the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) and the Department of Information Management (IM). The study aims to find the differences between these students regarding their levels of possessing information literacy skills. The analysis showed that, there are some significant differences in terms of information literacy skills between the students at the two different departments. The significant differences in the information literacy skills are related to synthesizing the information; or in other words, organizing the information.Letizia Jaccheri Keynote for #ITICSE2022 Gender Issues in Computer Science Re...

Tracker workshop ALT Conference 2016
The document summarizes the development and piloting of a cross-sector benchmarking tool called the Digital Experience Tracker. It was developed by Jisc to help education providers gather feedback from students on their digital experiences and skills. Over 10,000 students from 24 pilot institutions completed the tracker survey. Key findings included that students want more access to devices and digital resources, and that FE & Skills students reported receiving more guidance but had less access than HE students. The tracker is now available for other providers to use to understand and improve students' digital experiences.

Analyzing Factors Impacting Student Interest in Computer Science What is a Roadshow? Susana Bali, Jeanne Chen, Jen Dana, Samantha McGuinn, Noor Muhyi, Natasha Nesiba, and Nicole Ray Future Work The Roadshow Experience Grade Distribution Young Women in Computing Data collected from the surveys will assist in the development of future roadshow curriculum. Every workshop YWiC hosts is tailored to achieve student success with immediate results and outcomes through the teaching of early computing principles. Evaluating survey results may establish a greater understanding of outreach populations and their experiences, and lead to more effective teaching techniques. The data collected will allow YWiC reach more students and bring awareness to the impact of computer science on students. Young Women in Computing Program (YWiC) is an outreach initiative developed with the vision to increase the participation in computer science (CS) activities and exposure for all students in New Mexico. YWiC began in 2006 and is housed in the Department of Computer Science at New Mexico State University and focuses on multidimensional program components such as: • In-school presentations • After-School programming • Summer programs • State-wide competitions • Social networking • Forums and conferences • Teacher-program collaborations Survey Outcomes 1% 14% 29% 57% 5% 33% 38% 24% 0 50 100 Not Interested A Little interested Pretty Interested Super Interested Pre Post Student Access to Technology at Home 96% 95% Have Computers Have Internet Do you know what Computer Science is?

The level of difficulty for a roadshow session can be tailored to students ranging from elementary to high school. All roadshow instructors are undergraduate research assistants working at Young Women in Computing. Each roadshow is composed of three parts: • Awareness-raising Component: Demonstrate the diversity, variety, and possibilities in the field of computing. • Educational Component: Introduce students to computational thinking skills. • Hands-on Component: Computational thinking skills are utilized. In February 2013 YWiC began surveying students during roadshows to acquire a better understanding of potential factors impacting student interest in computer science. Surveys were conducted over a four month period during 18 workshops; 53% of the surveys were administered to pre-workshop groups and 47% post-workshop groups. Although the ideal survey model for this research would have been to issue both pre- and post- surveys to every group, but time did not allow for two surveys every roadshow. Roadshow curriculum consisted of various projects on two platforms: PicoCrickets and Storytelling Alice. These platforms were chosen specifically because they are introductory programming platforms. Specific projects were chosen based on the amount of time allotted for each roadshow, but project difficulty was comparable across all projects. *Students were asked if they had access to computers and internet in their homes. Between the pre- and post-survey groups there was: • Students who reported they were “super interested” in computer science increased 33% • Students with little or no interest in computer science decreased by 23%. • Students who were “pretty interested” in computer science decreased, but this change might be attributed to the large increase in students “super interested” in computer science. • Student knowledge of basic computer science concepts increased by 66% Although definitive conclusions cannot be made due to the separation* of pre- and post- survey groups, the data seems to support that roadshow sessions are an effective tool for increasing student interest in computer science. *The demographics questions were combined over pre- and post- survey groups to capture an overall view of participant diversity. The pre- and post- survey questions concerning student understanding of basic computer science concepts and interest in computer science were kept separate in order to determine whether or not the roadshow sessions impacted these factors. 60% 23% 22% 40% 33%
