Measuring Knowledge of Misconceptions in Computer Science Education

Proceedings of the eleventh annual International Conference on International Computing Education Research - ICER '15

This document describes the motivation, background and the current state of my PhD research project. I am aiming to develop a test model to measure educators’ knowledge about misconceptions in computer science. I will first outline my position as a PhD student and will then illustrate my motivation for my research. This includes a short overview on related work done in this field before. I will continue with my main research questions and an explanation of my methods. This is followed by an overview on what I have already done. At the end, I will summaries what contributions I expect to make to the CSE community.
