Broadening Participation Toward Culturally Responsive Computing Education

摘要

CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE COMPUTING education is an exciting new field that has the potential to raise the achievement and interest of students from underrepresented ethnic groups. Culturally responsive education can be used to explore problems and solutions in any scientific or technical field, often using traditional knowledge or practices of the group being educated. While much of this work has been focused in the U.S. with African-American, Latino, and Native American students, it can be applied elsewhere. University of Finland's Matti Tedre, for example, found that his computing students in Tanzania did not understand programming examples that referenced European games of chance.
