Enriching computing identity frameworks: integrating current constructs and unveiling new dimensions for today’s tech-savvy world—a systematic review

Le résumé fourni par la source

This systematic review seeks to improve the existing framework for developing students’ Computing Identity (CI) by integrating contemporary elements and identifying new dimensions. A meticulous selection of 31 articles followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, ensuring a comprehensive and systematic approach. The findings highlight factors that influence students’ CI and also the constructs defining the frameworks for developing students’ CI. The identified existing constructs are competence/performance, interest, sense of belonging, and recognition in computing, with competence/performance being the most explored and recognition the least. The review proposes a new framework for developing students’ CI that includes the “social context” as it interweaves with existing constructs to shape the multifaceted process of CI formation. The findings underscore a research gap concerning the inclusion of diverse perspectives, which is essential for a richer understanding of CI. Additionally, the study emphasizes the potential to incorporate new elements to enhance the existing frameworks for developing students’ CI, along with its validation in diverse contexts.
