The intent is to uncover evidence to issue recommendations on how to best form project groups. We expect this knowledge to be beneficial for the recruitment and retention of students as well as for the diversity of students.<\/p>\n<p><b>Value Creation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We expect the outcomes of this project will create significant value for primarily the Danish universities, but also for the Danish tech industry (technology companies). The project intends to derive research-based recommendations on how to best form (student) project groups. Since group work is so widespread in Computer Science education in all of Denmark to foster communication and collaboration skills in connection with a problem, it is important to figure out what works best. This will strengthen the CS education in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>Studying the impact of diversity on project groups will also be important as a proxy for professional groups in a work context, beyond university (with the obvious external threats to validity of this generalization). We expect this knowledge to be beneficial for the recruitment and retention of students as well as for the diversity of the students (e.g., female students and students without prior programming experience). Aside from the experiments themselves and their findings, we intend to also create and publsh (and seek independent generic approval of) generic experimental protocols for how to ethically and responsibly conduct such group diversity-performance experiments. This includes how to quantify group diversity and group performance. We imagine these generic experimental protocols would be relevant for other studies and companies seeking to specialize them in order to conduct their own more specific instances of the experiments. This also includes ethical considerations surrounding similar student experiments and how to make them ethically safe(r)<\/p>\n<h5>D-Pop &#8211; A Danish Annual Programming and Problemsolving Event<\/h5>\n<p><b>Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The second subproject D-Pop \u2013 A Danish Annual Programming and Problem Solving Event will plan, organize, and implement physical D-Pop events at Danish CS departments aimed at young people who are beginning programmers at all levels. The participants get increased programming skills and another perspective on programming and problem solving because focus is on collaboration, creativity, and curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>We expect the events to have a positive effect on recruitment and retention of students as well as for the diversity of students.<\/p>\n<p><b>Value Creation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The expected results of D-Pop are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Dramatically increased programming skills among participants.\u00a0This is the expected outcome of just participating, akin to training in any other skill, and includes improved\u00a0programming language mastery, problem solving skills, resilience, collaboration skills, debugging, and computational problem solving (in particular, algorithmic thinking). This\u00a0competence boost is independent of the rung of the competence ladder on which the participant starts. I don\u2019t need to reiterate the problems with recruitment of technically\u00a0competent IT professionals in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>2. Increased exposure and recruitment.\u00a0D-Pop complements the existing pallette of outreach and recruitment activities currently used by Danish CS departments. Compared\u00a0with similar events, D-Pop content is designed with a focus on immediate, satisfying, and positive feedback to beginning programmers, but in a way that is both honest and\u00a0values competence, agency, and collaboration. Scalability is built into D-Pop\u2019s infrastructure (both technical and social from the start.<\/p>\n<p>3. Establishment of a national network of problem setters.\u00a0The value of this extends\u00a0beyond D-Pop and immediately includes teaching material for high schools and universities. For another example, the Danish High School Informatics Olympiad (Dansk datalogidyst, of which Thore is a founding steering committee member) is in many\u00a0aspects an opposite of D-Pop: it is individual, highly competitive, participation is restricted. However, the requirements to the network of people needed to \u201cmake DDD\u00a0work\u201d is identical to that of D-Pop. We are very far behind in Denmark on this compared to our Nordic neighbours. (Not to speak of other countries, where these activities are\u00a0multi-million dollar industries.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danmark har brug for flere IT-specialister.
