商品描述
This book provides a history of the efforts of the US National Science Foundation to broaden participation in computing. The book briefly discusses the early history of the NSF's involvement with education and workforce issues. It then turns to two programs outside the computing directorate (the ADVANCE program and the Program on Women and Girls) that set the stage for three programs in the NSF computing directorate on broadening participation: the IT Workforce Program, the Broadening Participation in Computing program, and the Computing Education for the 21st Century program. The work looks at NSF-funded research and NSF-funded interventions both to increase the number of women, underrepresented minorities (African Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians) and people with disabilities, and to increase the number of public schools offering rigorous instruction in computing. Other organizations such as the ACM, the Computer Science Teachers Association, and Code.org are also covered. The years covered are primarily 1980 to the present.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了美國國家科學基金會(NSF)在擴大計算領域參與方面努力的歷史。書中簡要討論了NSF早期參與教育和勞動力問題的歷史。接著,書中轉向了計算指導部以外的兩個計畫(ADVANCE計畫和女性與女孩計畫),這些計畫為NSF計算指導部的三個擴大參與計畫奠定了基礎:IT勞動力計畫、計算領域擴大參與計畫,以及21世紀計算教育計畫。本書探討了NSF資助的研究和干預措施,旨在增加女性、少數族裔(非裔美國人、西班牙裔和美國印第安人)及殘障人士的數量,並增加提供嚴謹計算教學的公立學校數量。書中還涵蓋了其他組織,如ACM、計算機科學教師協會和Code.org。所涵蓋的年份主要是1980年至今。
