TrainDL at the SIGCSE 2023 in Toronto, Canada

It was an early morning for TrainDL researcher Viktoriya Olari: at 8:30 on Saturday morning, she stood before educators from all around the world to present a new publication from the TrainDL project. Viktoriya Olari is a researcher from the Freie Universität Berlin, in the TrainDL project focusing on the development and conduct of data and AI literacy workshops for educators. Besides this, she is currently nominated for the AI newcomers of 2023, an award organized by the KI Camp.

The paper that was accepted for the conference track CS Education: Looking Back and Forward is titled “Artificial Intelligence Literacy Research Field: A Bibliometric Analysis from 1989 to 2021”. With this research, the authors Kamilla Tenório, Viktoriya Olari, Margarita Chikobava and Ralf Romeike form a literary basis for the next research cycles being held over the project’s course. The paper is now publicly available and can be read here. An overview of the presentation and the paper can be found here.

The Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education offered a great opportunity for researchers working on educational topics such as data and AI literacy to exchange and present their findings. It is organized by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) and is the organization’s flagship conference, annually attended by more than 1,800 people from around the globe. Since the forum was designed for educators to discuss issues related to the development, implementation, and evaluation of computing programs, curricula and courses it made for fruitful participation of the TrainDL project.
