This paper presents a systematic review of literature on sustainability in computing education. The authors analyzed 572 publications from six digital libraries and conducted snowballing to identify relevant primary studies. From this, they distilled and analyzed 90 primary studies using thematic analysis. The study focused on three main areas: conceptions of sustainability, computing, and education; implementations of sustainability in computing education; and research on sustainability in computing education. The results of the analysis revealed that only a few articles addressed the challenges as calling for drastic systemic change and new understandings of computing and education. The majority of the articles were experience reports with limited empirical research, indicating that existing research on sustainability in computing education is relatively immature. The authors also assessed the quality of the studies based on essential attributes defined by ACM guidelines. They found that less than half of the papers presented empirical research, and many did not adequately describe essential attributes or report appropriate methodologies. However, the case study category exhibited better results, with most papers describing essential attributes. Overall, this systematic review provides insights into approaches taken in computing education to address sustainability issues. The findings can be used to develop a framework for learning objectives, outcomes, and pedagogical methods for sustainability in computing education that aligns with existing standards and curricula. The authors suggest that future research should connect to critical theories such as feminist theory of science and technology to further explore challenges related to sustainability in computing education.

A group of researchers looked at many articles about sustainability in computer education. They found 572 articles from six digital libraries and studied them closely. They also looked at other studies that were mentioned in those articles. They found 90 important studies and analyzed them to see what they said about sustainability in computer education. The researchers focused on three main areas: what people think about sustainability, how it is taught in computer classes, and research on sustainability in computer education. Most of the articles talked about people's experiences, but not many had scientific research. Some of the best articles were case studies that described important things well. The findings can help make a plan for teaching sustainability in computer classes based on existing standards and lessons. In the future, more research should look at challenges related to sustainability using different theories." Definitions- Systematic review: A careful study that looks at many sources of information to find out what they say about a specific topic. - Literature: Written works like books or articles. - Sustainability: Taking care of something so it can last a long time without running out or getting damaged. - Computing education: Learning about computers and how to use them. - Publications: Articles or papers that are published for others to read. - Digital libraries: Online collections of books, articles, or other written works. - Snowballing: Looking at one source of information and then finding more sources by looking at the references mentioned in that first source. - Primary studies: Original research done by scientists or scholars

Exploring Sustainability in Computing Education: A Systematic Review

In recent years, sustainability has become an increasingly important topic of discussion in the field of computing education. As technology continues to develop and evolve, it is essential that we consider how our use of computing can be more sustainable and socially responsible. To this end, a team of researchers recently conducted a systematic review to explore the current state of research on sustainability in computing education.

Background

The authors began by searching six digital libraries for relevant studies related to sustainability in computing education. Through snowballing, they identified 572 publications from which they distilled 90 primary studies for further analysis. These studies were then categorized into three main areas: conceptions of sustainability, computing, and education; implementations of sustainability in computing education; and research on sustainability in computing education.

Findings

The results showed that only a few articles addressed the challenges as calling for drastic systemic change and new understandings of computing and education. The majority of the articles were experience reports with limited empirical research, indicating that existing research on sustainability in computing education is relatively immature. Furthermore, when assessing the quality of these studies based on essential attributes defined by ACM guidelines, less than half presented empirical research while many did not adequately describe essential attributes or report appropriate methodologies. However, case study papers exhibited better results with most papers describing essential attributes adequately.

Conclusion & Recommendations

Overall, this systematic review provides insights into approaches taken in computing education to address sustainability issues. The findings can be used to develop a framework for learning objectives, outcomes, and pedagogical methods for sustainability in computing education that aligns with existing standards and curricula. Additionally, the authors suggest that future research should connect to critical theories such as feminist theory of science and technology to further explore challenges related to sustainability in computing education
