CALL FOR PAPERS
ICPEC - 3rd International Computer Programming Education Conference
Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do Ave, Barcelos, Portugal
2nd-3rd June 2022
Computer programming is a fascinating area, but at the same time, complex. Teachers face many difficulties to find techniques and methodologies to facilitate the learning of programming languages and to help students develop problem-solving skills. At the same time, students find it difficult to understand programming concepts, which often leads to poor motivation that drives students away from pursuing further knowledge in this area.
ICPEC aims to be a space where teachers and researchers discuss topics of new methodologies, best practices, trends, techniques and tools to improve the teaching-learning process of computer programming.
Topics of Interest
We encourage everyone to submit novel and innovative work in areas including but not limited to:
Computer programming languages, analytics and standardization
- Programming language concepts and methodologies;
- Programming exercises standards and specifications;
- E-learning data analytics;
- Learning tools interoperability;
- Learning cloud services;
- Data and graph visualization languages.
Computer programming environments, tools, and services
- Learning Management Systems;
- Massive Open Online Courses;
- Repositories of programming exercises;
- Intelligent Tutors;
- Automatic assessment tools;
- Program/Algorithm animation tools;
- Automatic program evaluation tools;
- Plagiarism tools.
Computing programmes, curricula, and courses
- E-learning and B-learning in computer programming courses;
- Programming languages teaching methods;
- Developing, implementing, or evaluating computing programmes, curricula, and courses;
- Pedagogies to foster learning in CS areas (e.g. programming, database systems, physical computing, computer security);
- Social and global challenges in computing education.
Innovative use of technologies
- Novel educational methods;
- Educational resources recommendation;
- Sequencing of educational resources;
