Research undertaken in pursuit of a doctorate degree in any field is important because it is the first work of the next generation of researchers and highlights the areas of particular interest for the field. Doctoral research in our field is particularly interesting because the researchers have a different perspective. Most of the research in CS Education is undertaken by teaching-active faculty. Doctoral students have the opportunity to reflect on our field from the perspective of studying the teaching and learning practice, often apart from being the actual teacher or learner. Thus, doctoral research offers a particularly interesting lens from which to view our field.
The guest editors invites authors to submit manuscripts for a special issue devoted to dissertation doctoral research on areas pertaining to computer science education. This issue will feature completed doctoral research from the past four years that reports novel contributions to the field of computer science education and meets high academic standards. Manuscripts should include a description of the problem worked on, appropriate background research, method of data collection and analyses, findings, open problems, and future research.
