商品描述

The number of African Americans and Latino/as receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees in computer science is disproportionately low. And relatively few African American and Latino/a high school students receive the kind of institutional encouragement, educational opportunities, and preparation needed for them to choose computer science as a field of study and profession. In Stuck in the Shallow End, Jane Margolis and coauthors look at the daily experiences of students and teachers in three Los Angeles public high schools: an overcrowded urban high school, a math and science magnet school, and a well-funded school in an affluent neighborhood. They find an insidious "virtual segregation" that maintains inequality.

The race gap in computer science, Margolis discovers, is one example of the way students of color are denied a wide range of occupational and educational futures. Stuck in the Shallow End is a story of how inequality is reproduced in America -- and how students and teachers, given the necessary tools, can change the system. Since the 2008 publication of Stuck in the Shallow End, the book has found an eager audience among teachers, school administrators, and academics. This updated edition offers a new preface detailing the progress in making computer science accessible to all, a new postscript, and discussion questions (coauthored by Jane Margolis and Joanna Goode).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

非裔美國人和拉丁裔學生在計算機科學領域獲得本科和研究生學位的比例不成比例地低。而且,相對較少的非裔美國人和拉丁裔高中生獲得必要的機構支持、教育機會和準備,使他們能夠選擇計算機科學作為學習和職業領域。在《Stuck in the Shallow End》中,Jane Margolis 和合著者們研究了洛杉磯三所公立高中的學生和教師的日常經歷:一所擁擠的城市高中、一所數學和科學特色學校,以及一所位於富裕社區的資金充足的學校。他們發現了一種隱蔽的「虛擬隔離」,這種隔離維持了不平等。

Margolis 發現,計算機科學中的種族差距是有色人種學生被剝奪廣泛職業和教育未來的一個例子。《Stuck in the Shallow End》講述了不平等在美國是如何重現的——以及學生和教師在獲得必要工具後,如何能夠改變這一系統。自2008年《Stuck in the Shallow End》出版以來,這本書在教師、學校管理者和學術界中找到了熱切的讀者群。這個更新版提供了新的前言,詳細說明了使計算機科學對所有人可及的進展,還有新的後記和討論問題(由Jane Margolis和Joanna Goode共同撰寫)。
