The cybersecurity curriculum has grown dramatically over the past decade: once it was just a couple of courses in a computer science graduate program. Today cybersecurity is introduced at the high school level, incorporated into undergraduate computer science and information systems programs, and has resulted in a variety of cybersecurity-specific…

When first introduced to the analysis of algorithms, students are taught how to assess the best and worst cases, whereas the mean and amortized costs are considered advanced topics, usually saved for graduates. When presenting the latter, aggregate analysis is explained first because it is the most intuitive kind of amortized analysis, often…

The universities and faculties which educate teachers of mathematics for teaching pupils/students of any age group from pre-school age to higher education carefully monitor and compare valuable results of this research, detect the areas in which the mathematical achievements of pupils should be improved at the national level and propose the ways…

Discusses philosophy, facts, and opinions regarding the definition of computer literacy; presents suggested computer literacy course content; and recommends delivery systems or methodologies that can be used for instructional purposes. (Author)

It is more important for students to have an understanding of basic fundamentals such as English, mathematics, social studies, and basic business understandings than a superficial understanding of data processing equipment and its operation. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions that computer science educators have about computer ethics. The study focused on four areas: (1) the extent to which computer science educators believe that ethically inappropriate practices are taking place (both on campus and throughout society); (2) perceptions of such educators about…

Social studies instruction will improve if social studies educators cooperate with computer professionals to develop ways of using the computer in the classroom. Objections of many social studies teachers to computers are based on experiences in which computers were used to intimidate consumers, implement poorly conceived projects, and promote…

Purpose: The purpose of this scientific monograph is to show new and creative approaches to different school subjects in primary and secondary level. Methodology: Interdisciplinary and international comparative approaches were used. Now according to the 7th Framework Program, the preferred form of Science Education (www.scientix.eu) is preferred…

Describes a project at Honeywell Information Systems that uses Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) to train employees to make more effective use of computers. Notes that industry is leading the way in Data Processing (DP) training and may be evolving solutions to public education's shortage of DP training resources. (MP)

Describes the phases of a data processing project used to help computer science students become better writers. (FL)

Hybrid computation facilities have been in operation at Louisiana State University since the spring of 1969. In part, they consist of an Electronics Associates, Inc. (EAI) Model 680 analog computer, an EAI Model 693 interface, and a Xerox Data Systems (XDS) Sigma 5 digital computer. The hybrid laboratory is used in a course on hybrid computation…

A description of current activities in instructional computing in Washington State community colleges is presented, along with curriculum content guidelines and planning procedures to assist colleges which plan to initiate or upgrade their activities in instructional computing. The document provides an overview of computing activities in the…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
