Call for Submissions

The SIGCSE 2024 Doctoral Consortium (DC) at ICER provides an opportunity for doctoral students who are pursuing research in computing education to hone their research interests and direction in a workshop environment with a panel of established computing education researchers, while simultaneously building relationships with other doctoral students in the area, It is a great opportunity to share your work-in-progress with your peers, the organizers, and a group of faculty mentors.

Note: TThis workshop will take place in-person just before the ICER 2024 Conference in Melbourne on Monday August 12.

Organizers

Please use our emails to contact us.

Faculty Discussants

  • Angela Carbone – RMIT University
  • Brian Dorn - University of Nebraska at Omaha
  • Amy Ko - University of Washington
  • Andrew Luxton-Reilly – University of Auckland

Eligibility

Doctoral students in any phase of their Ph.D. research are welcome, as long as they will not have defended their dissertation before the event. Students from all disciplines are welcome as long as they conduct research on computing education. That includes, but is not limited to, students specializing in the learning sciences, cognitive psychology, programming languages, software engineering, and in other education disciplines.

Why apply?

The doctoral consortium offers many benefits:

  • Provides a supportive setting for feedback on students’ research and research direction.
  • Offers each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside their own institution.
  • Promotes the development of a supportive community of scholars.
  • Supports a new generation of researchers with information and advice on research and academic career paths.
  • Contributes to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events.

We have space for up to 20 participants. Applicants who are selected will receive free conference registration.

How to apply

To apply, you need to prepare:

  • A single PDF containing a 4-page research description, exactly like you’d do an ICER paper, covering central aspects of your doctoral work, including:
    • Motivation that drives your dissertation research
    • Literature review of key works that frame your research
    • Hypothesis, thesis, and/or key ideas
    • Your research approach and methods
    • Progress on your research
  • Your CV. (A PDF or link to online CV).

You should submit your research description and CV through HotCRP: icer2024dc.hotcrp.com/.

You should not add co-authors (e.g. your advisor) to your submission on HotCRP.

Your advisor must submit a recommendation via this form. The recommendation deadline is the same as the submission deadline.

  • June 10th: Hard deadline for camera-ready submissions via TAPS
  • Doctoral Consortium at ICER 2024 in Melbourne: August 12, 2024

Review process

We will select participants to create a cohort that is balanced across many factors, including:

  • Your research topic
  • Your status in your doctoral program
  • The diversity of backgrounds and topics in the application pool
  • Your institution (we are unlikely to accept more than two students from the same institution).

All submissions will be confidential. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity.

Publishing your abstract

Authors of accepted submissions will receive instructions on how to submit publication-ready copy of their 4-page abstract. Please note that submissions will not be published without a signed form releasing publishing copyright to the ACM. Obtaining permissions to use video, audio, or pictures of identifiable people or proprietary content rests with the author, not the ACM or the ICER conference. The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date is typically one week prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

Consortium Program

  • Elevator pitches by the consortium participants.
  • Brief presentations by invited discussants who are senior members of the computing education research community.
  • Small group discussion and feedback from assigned mentors.
  • Poster presentation by participants during the DC and later during the conference poster session.

More details of the poster preparation will be sent later to participants.
