Abstract :

Research in computer science education (CSE) is the focus and subject of this article. We begin by defining CSE research and its goals in order to set it apart from other types of educational research. Our goal in reviewing the current landscape of CSE research is to classify previous studies into overarching themes that capture the wide range of contributions to the field. Additionally, we assess every grouping, drawing attention to potential advantages and disadvantages. We contend that previous research investigations have neglected to include the educational philosophy that forms the basis of their findings. The outcome is that educators lack the "pedagogical content knowledge" necessary to address learning's cognitive and educational challenges. We wrap off by outlining some ground rules for CSE studies, with an emphasis on how they could be better integrated with the theoretical frameworks of fields like psychology, pedagogy, and curriculum stu
