Abstract

We want to facilitate an interactive gathering of faculty from a variety of disciplines and institutions - including primary, secondary, and tertiary schools - who are interested in exchanging ideas related to the learning and teaching of ethical concepts and skills in a CS or related curriculum, and evaluating the success of those efforts. We understand "curriculum" broadly to include both course and lab instruction and out-of-class experiences. Participants will leave with a set of open-access teaching resources, guidance for how best to use those resources at their own institutions, and ideas for evaluating any courses, curriculum, or programs they develop as a result.

How K-12 CS Teachers Conceptualize CS Ethics: Future Opportunities and Barriers to Ethics Integration in K-12 CS
SIGCSE 2023: Proceedings of the 54th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 1

As issues of ethics, criticality, and social impact become more important in computer science, so does the need to teach them in CS classes. Despite the recent growth of academic writing around ethics in CS and a push for teaching ethics in post-...
Ethics Education in Context: A Case Study of Novel Ethics Activities for the CS Classroom
SIGCSE '18: Proceedings of the 49th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

Our paper offers several novel activities for teaching ethics in the context of a computer science (CS) class. Rather than approaches that teach ethics as an isolated course, we outline and discuss multiple ethics education interventions meant to work ...
