This year, an ITiCSE record of 243 papers were submitted, of which 66 were

accepted, giving an acceptance rate of 27%. Of these papers, just over half had an

author from the United States or Canada, while European authors were represented

in about 40% of the papers. We also accepted papers with authors from Central

and South America, China, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East, giving us a truly

international avour of current Computer Science Education research and practice.

In addition to the Paper, Poster and Panel submissions, and Tips, Techniques

and Courseware presentations, we have ten Working Groups investigating these

topics: the pacing of introductory CS courses; fostering program comprehension for

novice programmers; exploring pass rates in computing and other STEM subjects;

sustainability issues in CS; diversity in the cybersecurity eld; data science education;

benchmarking K-12 CS education in schools; developing a model curriculum

for cloud computing; and designing better compiler error messages. The reports

from these groups will be published in a companion volume to the nal proceedings,

but we look forward to the working groups presenting preliminary findings during

the conference.
