Call for Papers – 1st Workshop on Software Engineering in Primary and Secondary Education – SEPSE 2020
Nov. 8th-9th, 2020, Munich, Germany
Co-located with CSEE&T 2020 (https://ase.in.tum.de/cseet2020)
Please note: due to COVID-19 the main conference (and with it SEPSE 2020) has been shifted to another date (Nov. 9th-12th, 2020).
Aim and Scope
Technology has a deep impact on everyday life of most people today, and computing science and information and communication technologies are finding their way to primary and secondary education, too. In quite some cases programming, either blocked-based or in its textual form, is also included in the curricula, but the broader context and with it software engineering and its related practices are often missing. Pupils thus either do not know why they are learning something, or they shy away from the beauty of this discipline. A fact often neglected is that the learning brain needs the whole and the details - it requires both the big picture and paying attention to the individual parts.The workshop thus aims at bringing together those researchers and practitioners who are interested in fostering programming and software engineering skills in primary and secondary education. The objectives of the workshop are to
- exchange ideas and best practices of how software engineering (and programming) skills can be introduced at all levels of education successfully
- compile a collection of recommendations to teachers and teacher trainers
For the workshop, we are looking for contributions that are original research papers, work in progress papers showcasing novel ideas, tools or practices, and experience reports of ideas, tools and practices of Software Engineering in schools.
Topics
We are looking forward to contributions touching on, but not limited to, the following topic areas:
- Software engineering topics in schools
- Best practices in SE education in schools
- Strategies for programming education (block/text-based)
- Learning analytics for SE Education in schools
- Tools supporting SE education in schools
- Perceptions, attitudes, beliefs of SE in schools
- Computational Thinking and SE education
Author Information and Submissions
Authors are invited to submit a full paper following the IEEE double column style with a maximum length of 10 pages. Accepted papers are presented at the workshop by one of the authors, published as full papers in CEUR-WS proceedings, and published as 2-page short papers in the CSEE&T conference proceedings. Detailed submission guidelines are available at the workshop webpage (see below).
