SIGCSE (Paper Session)

This session is concerned with new ideas and experiences in computer science education. The session will focus on the following questions:(1) How effective a tool is computer programming for motivating minority junior high school students toward professional careers in engineering, computer science, and other related areas?(2) Can different learning styles be detected? Can programming courses be designed to take these styles into account?(3) Should we stop teaching long division, and instead supply all elementary school children with calculators?(4) Can a viable computer science program in a business school be designed by examining the professional needs of the local business community?
