We invite you to submit a paper, report, or poster for the 21st WiPSCE
Conference on Primary and Secondary Computing Education (WiPSCE 2027)
and to join us in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Research in primary and secondary computing education is a young field
with strong ties to national educational systems. Nevertheless, its
theories, methods, and results are internationally applicable and of
interest to researchers and practitioners in the field. WiPSCE aims at
improving the exchange of research and practice relevant to teaching
and learning in primary and secondary computing education, teacher
training, and related research.

Accepted papers will be published in the WiPSCE 2027 proceedings as
part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. The
proceedings will be included in the ACM Digital Library (approval
pending).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to research on: 

- LEARNING & TEACHING: student motivation and engagement, attitudes
  and beliefs, student conceptions, learning difficulties, educational
  approaches, methods, contests, technologies and tools.

- FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTING EDUCATION: competence modelling and
  measurement, assessment, curricula and standards, emerging topics
  for computing education.

- TEACHER EDUCATION & INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS: pedagogical content
  knowledge in computing, establishing and enhancing computing
  education, (continued) professional development, communities of
  practice.
