Summary

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on computer science at the K-12 level, both from an educational and research perspective. This chapter briefly surveys some of these developments and describes areas where research in K-12 classrooms is being conducted. Our survey shows that the majority of empirical research in K-12 classrooms is focused on introductory programming, computational thinking, and attitudes towards the discipline but that a surprisingly large variety of other topics, ranging from software engineering to professional ethics has been taught and researched as well. In the light of recent initiatives directed towards implementing computer science as a regular or even mandatory subject in secondary schools, we summarize curricular designs that have been implemented and evaluated in K-12 classrooms. We discuss the importance of recognising the significant differences between national education systems when attempting transfer and revalidation studies.
