Keynote Abstract

The ultimate goal of any research relating to education is to make a difference, either directly or indirectly, to the learning experience. Educational research can generate reliable and valid answers to well-defined questions, providing evidence to inform changes to policy or practice. Educational research in the domain of computer science is no exception.

Computer science education research (CSER) is a unique field in many ways. Unlike mathematics and science education research it has made its home in university computer science departments (rather than in faculties of education), and for decades it primarily focused on university-level teaching and learning. Higher education teaching practice is necessarily localised and the impact of some CSER has been arguably very local too, driven by excitement rather than educators’ familiarity with pedagogy. In recent years we’ve seen the growth of CSER focusing on school education alongside the introduction of computing into many countries' curricula around the world; with the lack of an established knowledge base on the teaching and assessment of computing we have the opportunity and responsibility to make our research as impactful as possible.

In this UKICER keynote I will be examining the topic of the impact of research with specific reference to computer science education research, through both a discussion of knowledge mobilisation and also highlighting practical suggestions for researchers. I hope through this keynote to promote conversation around the ways in which we can all focus on impact in CSER and look forward to many stimulating discussions during the conference.

RIPPA:Designing and Assessing Authentic Software Development Projects in Undergraduate Computing Education

Team software development projects are a crucial component of undergraduate computing education. Studies of software developers in industry underscore the need for undergraduates to acquire authentic software development experiences in which they contribute to legacy code bases within collaborative software development contexts. Despite their clear educational value, team software development projects are notoriously challenging to implement and assess. Drawing on experience and relevant research results, this Research in Practice Project Activity (RIPPA) brings together computing educators and researchers to discuss, research, and innovate approaches to designing and assessing authentic software development projects. Participants are invited to run empirical studies in their own courses in which they (a) collect subjective and objective measures of team and individual progress in software projects, and (b) explore alternative pedagogical and assessment approaches, including those supported by the use of custom learning management and data analytics tools. By the end of the RIPPA, we aim to publish one or more research papers that advance the state-of-the-art in team software project pedagogy, supporting technology, and assessment based on the results of multi-institutional research studies.

Workshop:Women into Tech: activities designed to improve gender balance on computer science courses

Friday 2nd September, 13:30 to 15:00

Are you interested or involved in any gender balance activities or any initiatives targeting people from underrepresented groups? E.g. events to encourage women and girls to study computing or student networking events.

We've been working on gender balance projects and also investigating ways to improve their efficacy and we'd like to share this with you and provide an opportunity for you to share what you've been doing. Participants with no experience are also welcome. We'll introduce 3 of the projects we've been working on: Ada Scotland Festival, Women into Tech, and Gender Imbalance in Digital Technology. Then we'll share our Participant-Centred Planning Framework and look at tips for maximum impact and associated challenges together.

Finally we'll all share ideas for in-situ evaluation methods and ideally test them out.

Call for Participation

The United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference from the UK ACM Special Interest Group in Computing Science Education Chapter is seeking high quality contributions to research relevant to computing science education.

Contributions are sought in a variety of categories with emphasis on high-quality and rigorous work. Researchers have the opportunity to disseminate their work as a full paper, workshop or poster.

The following contributions are sought from the community:

  • Papers. Six-page research or tool design papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings.

  • Workshop proposals. Two-page workshop proposal for workshops to be delivered to attendees at the conference.

  • Posters. Single-page poster abstract for publication in conference proceedings and poster for presentation at the conference.

  • Research in Practice Project Activities (RIPPA). Two-page proposals for RIPPA activity at conference.

  • DC Applications. Two-page application to participate in the Doctoral Consortium (DC) at the conference, including single-page abstract for publication in the conference proceedings.

Submission for all the afordmentioned contributions should be made via EasyChair. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines prior to submitting contributions for consideration.

Any questions about submissions should be emailed to the General and Programme Chairs, Joseph Maguire (joseph.maguire@glasgow.ac.uk) and Brett Becker (brett.becker@ucd.ie).

Papers

We invite submissions of research papers on the topic of computing science education. Themes of interest include:

  • Computing science education pedagogy
  • Assessing and providing feedback on computing assignments
  • Issues of inclusivity and diversity
  • Tools to aid computing science education
  • Computing science education issues particularly relevant to a British and/or Irish context
All submissions related to computing science education are welcome, at any stage of formal education (or outside formal education).

Papers should describe a rigorously executed piece of work, include a motivating research question and discussion of prior related work. We welcome:

  • Research papers describing a research experiment in a school, university or informal educational setting. The experiment should be rigorously conducted – if this is the case, null results will still be considered for publication.

  • Tool design papers which carefully document design constraints, user considerations, relevant pedagogical concerns, and justify the design decisions taken in a way that would be useful to other designers, and include details of user testing or other initial measures of effectiveness.

All submitted papers should have a research component. Papers focused purely on practice-related topics such as implementation of new curricula or new course designs may be better suited to our sister Computing Education Practice conference.

Papers that authors would like to be considered for presentation at the conference and publication in proceedings must be be submitted via EasyChair. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines for papers prior to submission.

Workshops

We invite proposals for running 1-2 hour workshops. The workshops should be relevant to British and Irish educators (in a university or school setting) and/or computing science education researchers. Example workshops may be on the use of research techniques (e.g. qualitative methods), grant writing, pedagogical techniques (e.g. peer instruction), tools (e.g. programming environments, assessment tools), or any other topic which may be relevant to conference attendees.

Workshop organisers will be given an opportunity to advertise their workshop via a one-minute lightning talk earlier in the conference.

Workshop proposal that leaders would like to be considered for delivery at the conference must be be submitted via EasyChair. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines for workshop proposals prior to submission.

Posters

We invite posters for presentation and discussion at the conference. The posters should be relevant to British and Irish educators (in a university or school setting) and/or computing science education researchers. Example posters could include initial ideas, experimental designs, pedagogical techniques or early proposals to address open challenges in computing science education research.

Poster abstracts that presenters would like to be considered for presentation at the conference must be be submitted via EasyChair. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines for poster abstracts prior to submission.

Research in Practice Project Activities (RIPPAs)

Research in Practice Project Activities (RIPPAs) are a new form of collaborative, community-forming activity for Computing Science education research and practice at the United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference.

The aim is to bring practitioners and researchers together in computing science education to form networks, exchanges ideas, form collaborations and put research into practice, incorporate research into practice or improving practice.

RIPPAs span several months and participants are expected to commit to participating in a small number of workshops asÓ well as conducting some activity in their context, such as incorporating research into practice, collecting data and/or conducting research.

Participation and Commitment

The specific participation and commitment requirements depends on the RIPPA, but broadly RIPPAS required participants to:

  • Join information hour. Prospective rippers should join one of several information hours to find out about the specific RIPPA and what it involves. Ask questions and meet others interested in the activity.

  • Attend start-up workshop. The workshop will introduce the RIPPA, methodologies and approaches utilised as well as provide an opportunity for participants to get to know each other and learn about what is happening across the community.

  • Perform activity. Rippers are expected to perform some activity as part of the project. This activity could be to conduct research in their own context, incorporate research into their own practice or improve their practice. Rippers would then share their contributes back to the group remotely.

  • Attend interim workshop. The workshop will give participants an opportunity to share their contributions as well as analyse results and discuss any insights from the activity. The group will then begin to form it into a complete outcome and decide next steps.

  • Capstone workshop. The final workshop to pull together together any remaining work involved in the activity and form into an artefact that can be disseminated among the community through the optimal channel, such as the Computing Education Practice (CEP) or United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference.

  • Relax and unwind at a wrap-up dinner. Wrap-up meal and opportunity to reflect on the experience and plan future collaborations with other rippers.

Outcomes

The focus of RIPPAs is the participants and the expectation is that rippers will achieve the following from participating in a RIPPA:

  • Strengthened knowledge and skills in research and practice. Dependent on the specific RIPPA, the expectation is that participants will strengthen their knowledge and skills. This could be awareness emerging teaching practice and how to investigate it, appropriate methodologies for computing education research (CER) and/or deepened appreciation of the state of the art in CER.

  • Strengthened and expanded network of collaborators. Form connections with academics, scholars and researchers from across the computing science education community with similar interests and challenges. Valuable not only for conducting future research investigations but also to gain insight into innovative practice in other institutions as well as creating bonds with other academics to discuss on-going sector challenges and how to solve them.

  • Publication. The expectation is that outcomes of RIPPAs will be high-quality, multi-institutional studies that are authentic and steeped in data from contexts spanning many different from many perspectives. Participants will be authors on such high-quality contributions that are difficult to devise and coordinate for most sole academics.

RIPPA proposals that presenters would like to be considered for delivery at the conference and beyond must be be submitted via EasyChair. Authors should consult the detail submission format instructions and guidelines for RIPPA prior to submission.

Doctoral Consortium

The United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference Doctoral Consortium (DC) provides an opportunity for doctoral students to engage with peers and work with researchers to reflect on the wider computing education research landscape and expand it through connection and collaboration.

Aims

The UKICER DC has the following aims:

  1. To allow new researchers to attend the conference, understand the UK CSEd landscape, and be introduced to the UKICER community.

  2. To help build a cohort group of PhD researchers who will then have a network of colleagues across the UK.

  3. To influence the growth of the conference, and the UKICER community, through researchers who see UKICER as a “home” conference.

Review process

The review process is broadly similair for all contributions to the United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference that are published in the conference proceedings.

Process for Papers and Posters

The review process for papers and posters is double-blind with authors required to submit anonymised artefacts. Each submission is reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee. Upon completion of reviews, reviewers enter the discussion stage and are expected to discuss their reviews anonymously, especially when notable differences exist. The programme chair utilises discussions and reviews to determine an appropriate balance of accepted papers.

  • Conflict of Interest. Reviewers are required to declare any conflicts of interest in advance of reviewing papers.

  • Proxy chair and expert panel. Submissions that represent a conflict of interest for any of the chairs are passed to the proxy chair and panel for initial consideration.

  • Accepted submissions. Authors must prepare accepted submissions for publication and at least one author is required to register and attend the conference.

Conflict of Interest

Authors must ensure their submissions abide by the ACM Conflict of Interest Policy (COI). Reviewers are required by chairs to identify any conflicts of interest prior to being allocated any submissions to review. Authors are expected to inform any conflicts of interest prior or at the point of submission of any artefacts for review.

Proxy chair and expert panel

Submissions that represent a conflict of interest for all conference chairs are passed to the proxy chair. The proxy chair assembles an expert panel of two or more members, the members are not required to be part of the programme committee. The members of the expert panel are not known to the chairs. The proxy chair and expert panel consider the conflicted papers, reviews and any discussion amongst reviewers. The expert panel makes the final decision on the conflicted papers and this is communicated to the conference chairs.

Process for Workshop and RIPPA Proposals

The workshop and RIPPA proposals submitted by proposers are considered by the respective chair, i.e. Poster or RIPPA chair, and Programme chairs. The submissions put forward by proposers are considered confidential.

Process for Doctoral Consortium

The two-page Doctoral Consortium application submitted by each candidate is considered by the DC organisers. The submissions put forward by candidates are considered confidential.
