The University of North Carolina at Charlotte will provide pre-service teacher training and professional development focused on integrating ethical computational thinking into secondary mathematics and science curricula under a $618,003 National Science Foundation Project Grant awarded through the agency's STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076). Over four years, the project will develop ethical computational thinking skills in three cohorts of eight undergraduate teaching candidates and their partnering secondary mentor teachers from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Participants will engage with four modules cultivating computational thinking applications in data science, nanoscience, geography/earth science, and engineering with emphasis on ethical implications. Teaching candidates and mentors will design, implement, analyze and refine ethically grounded computational thinking lessons to better prepare over 150,000 students in the district for STEM careers. Findings will inform recruitment and training of secondary STEM teachers nationally on infusing ethical perspectives into computational coursework.
