WIP3IG 2020 Call for contributions
A strong theme within PPIG has been the application of Psychology of Programming to Computer Science Education. This application is our theme for the 10th PPIG Work-in-Progress.
This year we would like to explore the issues and challenges and potential solutions to acquiring effective computing skills and supporting their development. We invite short papers, poster, videos and demos that capture work in progress in exploring topics such as: computer science and teaching and learning; early years programming; pedagogic theories applied to programming; programming language accessibility and adoption; ethics, power and programming in Digital Transformation.
As always we welcome submissions that innovate, provoke thought and question commonly held assumptions about what programming is and can be. For example, a fashionable presumption seems to be that "we" all are programmers who have just never been taught properly. And by contrast some propose that conventional programming will be surpassed by Deep Learning Machines which themselves will need to be configured if not programmed!
The PPIG Work-In-Progress workshop is a forum in which researcher and practitioners at all levels can present and discuss current work and recent results, findings and developments. The intention is to help researchers by encouraging constructive suggestions for taking their work forward. Experienced researchers and practitioners, as well as doctoral students, are equally invited to submit an abstract.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome the following categories of submissions:
- Work In Progress reports: Up to 4 pages long;
- Proposals for system demonstrations, videos, or even artworks are welcome and should be accompanied by a short abstract (1 page max). Buggy demo's welcome, though not essential!
- Please use our templates for all submissions.
