Computing education

Computer science education or computing education is the field of teaching and learning the discipline of computer science and computational thinking. The field of computer science education encompasses a wide range of topics, from basic programming skills to advanced algorithm design and data analysis. It is a rapidly growing field that is essential to preparing students for careers in the technology industry as well as other fields that require computational skills. Computer science education is essential to preparing students for the 21st century workforce. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into all aspects of society, the demand for skilled computer scientists is growing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to "grow 21 percent from 2021 to 2031", much faster than the average for all occupations. In addition to preparing students for careers in the technology industry, computer science education also promotes computational thinking skills, which are valuable in many fields, including business, healthcare, and education. By learning to think algorithmically and solve problems systematically, students can become more effective problem solvers and critical thinkers.

It is a subfield of both computer science and education research, and is concerned with understanding how computer science is taught, learned, and assessed in a variety of settings, such as K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and online learning environments. With this in mind, it is natural that CER borrow theories and methodologies from both educational sciences as well as computing in general, eg frameworks from HCI, usability and sociology as well as engineering and software development. ==See also== Tech ed Career and technical education List of AI-assisted software development tools List of computer magazines, List of computer books, and List of computer science journals.
