Despite proliferated efforts to integrate computer science in elementary education, there is a dearth of studies that synthesize the current state of CS education research in formal educational contexts, specifically in upper elementary classrooms. Further, while numerous studies have investigated approaches and strategies that broaden participation in computing, the majority of them focus on secondary and post-secondary settings. The present study uses a systematic literature review process to review research conducted with students in formal classroom settings in grades 4, 5, and 6 and published since 2013. We review the research through two questions: What are barriers to broadening participation …

In this session, participants learn ways to use coding tools in elementary classrooms to provide engaging and motivating contexts for students to develop and use mathematical and computational reasoning. Integrating technology to support mathematics learning in meaningful ways is often challenging, and discussions in this session will emphasize the synergies among technology, coding, and mathematics for supporting skills with coding tools.
