Lab Teams Showcase Research on CS Education and Social Media Discourse at AERA 2023 Conference
Data Miner lab members recently presented their cutting-edge research at the AERA 2023 conference. Sayed, Alan, Dr. Amanda, and Dr. Justice showcased their work on various topics related to computer science education and social media discourse instruments. Sayed's research work focused on the design principle of social and cultural relevance for data science-based computer science education. Alan's work highlighted the potential of data science as an access point for equitable pre-college computer science education. Meanwhile, Dr. Justice presented his work on the use of social media discourse instruments as tools for socioscientific argumentation. We look forward to seeing more of groundbreaking work in the future!
