Computer Science for All in Swiss High Schools: Current State, Issues, and Perspectives.

Abstract

This poster discusses the main issues at stake in the task of determining a “computer science for all” curriculum in Swiss high schools. Such a task raises fundamental questions such as: what is CS exactly; what are its subtopics and its fundamental concepts; how should it be classified with respect to other sciences; who should teach it and with which required background; etc. In the poster, we graphically depict the discussion points and conclusions we have come to on such issues.
