Computer science lacks diverse role models as pupils name either billionaire tech entrepreneurs or historical figures, finds new @OxfordRevEd study 🖥️
@billybwong et al say media discourse and the curriculum need to change to broaden potential role models

A new paper from the SCARI team (@DrJessicaHamer, @peterejkemp, @billybwong and @m_copseyblake) finds that student experience in computing lessons, teacher and parent support, perceptions of computer scientists, computing at home and gender predict attitudes to coding. See below:

Geeky, clever, detail-oriented men, who lack social skills – are they the ideal computer scientists? 💻
@billybwong and @KingsCollegeLon researchers uncovered a more nuanced view of what makes an 'ideal' computer science student. #EducationAtReading

A survey of over 3,000 secondary school pupils suggest their concept of what makes an 'ideal' computer science student defies convention.
Long-held stereotypes of geeky, clever, detail-oriented men, who lack social skills are challenged by this group 👇

Yes please! A new GCSE in computing (not just CS) please! @bphillipsonMP “We need a brand-new qualification at Key Stage 4... more practical and creative, and more IT based. If you have that medley... you're much more likely to attract a broader range of people” #scaricomputing
