Extending the Pipeline: Why K-12 Computer Science is Essential to Higher Education

Robb Cutler

(2)

My Background

 Introduced to computers in 6th grade

 C.S. Degree

 Software Engineer / Architect

 K-12 Education

 AP CS and Advanced Topics

(3)

Defining Computer Science

 Problem Solving

 Algorithmic Thinking

 Systems Analysis

 Logic

 Not just programming (though it

(4)

CS is Clearly Important

 Technology-oriented world

 Necessary for success in other

disciplines

 Basic skills are assumed

 Advanced skills are often required

(5)

Teaching CS in Kindergarten

 Sorting

 Searching

 Recursion

 Boolean Arithmetic

 Queues

(6)

Teaching CS in Elementary

 Sorting

 Searching

 Recursion

 Boolean Arithmetic

 Queues

(7)

Teaching CS in High School

 Programming

 AP Computer Science

 Almost No One Does It…

– 86,000 AP Physics tests – 87,000 AP Chemistry tests – 132,000 AP Biology tests – 256,000 AP Calculus tests

(8)

Where’s the Disconnect?

 Other disciplines move to formalize

learning along a steady, coherent, well-articulated curricular track

 Everyone is required to take English,

Math, Science, History – K-12

(9)

CS is not accessible

 Perception as geeky

 Always sitting in front of a computer

 Too much work

 Not fun

 No long-term reward

(10)

So, Why is This a Problem?

 CS enrollments are down

– “The percentage of incoming

undergraduates indicating that they

would major in CS declined by over 60 percent between the Fall of 2000 and 2004, and is now 70 percent lower than

its peak in the early 1980s” (Higher Education

(11)

So, Why is This a Problem?

(12)

But There aren’t Any Jobs…

 Not true

– “Information technology appears as though it will be a growth area at least for the coming decade, and the U.S. government projects that several IT occupations will be among the fastest growing occupations during this time.”

(13)

But There aren’t Any Jobs…

 Offshoring?

– Only 2-3% of IT jobs lost annually through offshoring

– “U.S. IT sector's overall growth should outpace that loss of jobs, expanding opportunities for those trained in fields such as software architecture, product design, project management and IT

(14)

How Can K-12 Help?

 Pipeline begins early (even

Kindergarten!)

 Increase interest by

underrepresented populations

 Better prepared students in CS

enhance your programs

 Recognition of CS as an essential

(15)

Understanding K-12 Issues

 Class sizes

 Teaching periods per day

 Vastly different learning levels

 Students often not engaged

 One person department

 CS vs. Technology

 Battle for funding

 NCLB

(16)

Working Together - CSTA

 Membership and advocacy

organization representing K-12 computer science

 In development since 2000 with ACM

K-12 Education Task Force and first CS&IT Symposium

 Model Curriculum for K-12 CS

Education in 2003

(17)

Working Together - CSTA

 4000+ members

 Professional development

– JETT / TECS / CS&IT Symposia

 Development of resources

 Support for national curriculum and

teacher standards

(18)

Working Together

 Help us help you with pipeline issues

 K-12 teachers need your support to help keep their knowledge and skills current  Your research can inform our work

 Improving K-12 CS education gives you better (and more) students

(19)

Challenges

 Join CSTA: http://csta.acm.org

 Become involved in K-12 CS in your local

area

– Understand their issues

– Offer guidance and support – Host a TECS workshop

 Lobby your admissions office to
