About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The objective of this journal is to develop a research network in teaching and learning in Computer Science Education in schools and related topics through high-quality research that focuses on both theory and practice. This would enable academics and educators who are interested in research about theoretical developments in Computer Science Education, to reach the most recent studies. The network would also provide a communication point for teachers who are interested in engaging in research projects, but not feeling confident. Additionally, it provides researchers, teachers, students, and policymakers with valuable information in Computer Science Education in schools, and increases their understanding of the pedagogies and practices in this field. The IJCSES also identifies future directions in this constantly changing educational medium.
