Computing Education Group
All members with interests in this area are active practitioners within
the mainstream of the CS curriculum, although we distinguish
disciplinary-specific research from scholarly examination of
practice. We aim to:
- adopt a questioning attitude towards fundamental
issues in the practice of our discipline.
- take an evolutionary approach to our practice,
informed by the results of research.
- act as a focal resource for
discussion and dissemination of best practice and new
ideas.
- provide a beacon for research based upon Kent
tools, such as BlueJ and Greenfoot.
- pro-actively collaborate with international
colleagues.
Recent Activities:
Members of the group are pursuing a variety of activities...
- The group hosted the HEA-ICS 10th annual conference
-
The group hosted the

A major project has been collaboratively writing the book

introduction to the terminology, techniques and culture of
programming, as it might be experienced in a range of different
courses in further and higher education.
-
We are involved with organizing the programmes for the annual HEA-ICS
1-day teaching of programming conferences.

conferences - the group hosted the

of other ITiCSE conferences. The head of the research group was a keynote speaker for the 2009 ITiCSE conference and the 2010 SIGCSE symposium.
