I continue to find Shayer and Adey’s work on “Cognitive Acceleration” very interesting. I teach Physics, and programming in the context of Physics, to undergraduates, and the taxonomy of reasoning patterns has been a useful framework for me use to describe where my students are right now, and what would be one step harder. (ie, Faded examples, or Vygotsky’s “Zone of Proximal Development”)
Adey gave me permission to share the taxonomy, it’s online, here: http://course1.winona.edu/nmoore/ca/ShayerAdey_Curriculum_Analysis_Taxonomy.pdf “Really Raising Standards,” “Towards a Science of Science Teaching,” or this summary document are all reasonable places to start reading about their group’s work. http://course1.winona.edu/nmoore/ca/Adey.The_Effects_of_Cognitive_Acceleration.pdf Also, if you want to measure where your students are in terms of reasoning/problem-solving ability, Anton Lawson’s “Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning” is a good place to start.

I am interested in all sorts of pedagogical/education literature with respect to especially the teaching of computer science to students. Realized yesterday why it's such a badly considered and actuated teaching field. All other subjects have elementary/secondary school instruction and history of instruction at many pre-university levels. Computer science teaching occurs by way of those who had university level teaching. I have yet to experience quality teaching of a subject in university as compared to pre-university schooling plus everything else starts at a more advanced level where teaching becomes more complicated. Also generally the problem of too many accidentally made programming languages.

An example of a research based one would be the study comparing student uptake of specific programming languages like the one mentioned when I took the software carpentry course. Information as to which subject areas study such things would be helpful as well. (If such theoretics are contained across several journals in a subject area). Thanks.

I can't find reference to it in our etherpad notes. Does anyone know what this publication was, or what field it was in? I know it wasn't computing science.
