Abstract
The landscape of computing education in the U.S. is rapidly evolving, and a growing body of researchers, educators and others call into question the goals, scope, and implementation of computing education. This is a complex issue as researchers grapple with a range of challenges and topics, such as addressing equity, ethics, and neutrality in computer science (CS) pedagogy, expanding notions of computational literacy, and designing viable learning environments. This work takes an interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological approach to explore several of these pressing concerns in computing education, with Black women CS students at Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCUs) as a study group. Findings produce several contributions to higher education research on the social realities of Black women HBCU computing students, practical considerations for advancing the design-based research methodology of social design-based experimentation (SDBEs), and implications for learner-centered design practices for CS education research.
