Title
Teacher and Student Experiences in a Gender-Inclusive Secondary Computer Science Program
Subject
A research article examining practices in a programme where gender ratios in computer science education have been consistently above average for more than a decade.
Description
The following article seeks to understand teacher and student experiences within this gender-inclusive program. Results indicate three strategies for supporting a more gender-inclusive classroom: (1) Providing personalized and relevant learning experiences; (2) modeling a growth mindset; and (3) creating a welcoming environment. Implications for practice include providing assignment choice, providing opportunities to learn from failure, and building personal relationships with students.
