Research Implications for Computer Science Education based on Darmstadt Model

Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to examine published studies in computer science education in a systematic way, and to present a history of the research and new research trends in this area. This research study reports the findings of the systematic literature review according to the educational relevant areas dimension of the Darmstadt Model. The procedures of systematic text analysis were performed as a qualitative content analysis. Prior to the systematic text analysis, the primary term 'computer science education and K-12' was searched for along with data in the abstract, title and keyword section for publications between 2013 and 2018 in the databases and digital libraries of Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, Eric, Science Direct, and the IEEE Digital Library. A total of 87 articles formed the sample of the study. Although the current study was limited to the stated journal articles, it provides insight to the field by shedding light on important issues relevant to future research studies.
