![]() Title:Cognitive Load and Supporting Multilingual Learners in Computer Science K-12 Classrooms Conference:RESPECT 2025 Tags:cognitive load theory, computer science education, K-12 computer science, multilingual students, professional development and translanguaging Abstract: The Hispanic population in the United States makes up 19.7%, approximately one-fifth of the total population, and increases approximately 1.8% every year versus the overall growth of non-Hispanic populations at 0.2%. It is the fastest growing population in the US, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It is imperative that we address the needs of students who are multilingual learners through professional development and materials that are cemented in Cognitive Load Theory and translanguaging. Cognitive Load Theory allows us to understand the brain and how memory and learning work. Because the experience of Hispanic students is not monolithic, we explore different strategies and resources that allow all students easy transitions, as needed, so they can continue to progress in their classrooms when learning computer science.
