Call for Research and Review Papers on Computational Thinking
INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION (INFEDU) is positioning itself as a world-leading journal for rigorous computer science / informatics education research. We invite submissions that advance understanding of how computational thinking, AI literacy, and related computing concepts are taught, learned, assessed, and applied across K-12, teacher education, higher education, and informal learning.
We particularly encourage original research articles, systematic and scoping reviews, meta-analyses, methodological studies, and conceptual/theoretical papers that generate transferable knowledge for computing education.
- computational thinking, programming, algorithms, data, systems, and AI/ML education;
- AI literacy, responsible AI, ethics, and human-centered AI education;
- assessment, measurement, instruments, rubrics, and validation of CT/AI learning outcomes;
- teacher education, professional development, curriculum design, and classroom practice;
- learning analytics, large language models, and AI-supported tools with clear educational evidence;
- Bebras-style tasks, challenge-based learning, competitions, and community-based approaches to informatics education.
Why publish in INFEDU? Diamond Open Access — free to read and free to publish — with no submission fees and no APCs.
