Extended computing integrated curricula scored for K-12 CS standards

Integrated computing curricula combine learning objectives in computing with those in another discipline, like literacy, math, or science, to give all students experience with computing, typically before they must decide whether to take standalone CS courses. One goal of integrated computing curricula is to provide an accessible path to an introductory computing course by introducing computing concepts and practices in required courses. This dataset analyzed integrated computing curricula to determine which CS practices and concepts they teach and how extensively and, thus, how they prepare students for later computing courses. The authors conducted a content analysis to examine primary and lower secondary (i.e., K-8) curricula that are taught in non-CS classrooms, have explicit CS learning objectives (i.e., CS+X), and that took 5+ hours to complete. Lesson plans, descriptions, and resources were scored based on frameworks developed from the K-12 CS Framework, including programming conc..., Search and Inclusion Criteria
While the current dataset used many of the same tools as a systematic literature review to find curricula, it is not a systematic review. Unlike in literature reviews, there are no databases of integrated computing curricula to search systematically. Instead, we searched the literature for evidence-based curricula. We first searched the ACM Digital Library for papers with \"(integration OR integrated) AND (computing OR 'computer science' OR CS) AND curriculum\" to find curricula that had been studied. We repeated the search with Google Scholar in journals that include \"(computing OR 'computer science' OR computers) AND (education OR research)\" in their titles, such as Computer Science Education, Computers & Education, and Journal of Educational Computing Research. Last, we examined each entry in CSforAll's curriculum directory for curricula that matched our inclusion criteria.
We used four inclusion criteria to select curricula for analysis. Our first cri..., , # **Extended computing integrated curricula scored for K-12 CS standards**

## **Description of the data and file structure**

The listed computing integrated extended curricula were scored for which concepts and practices they included. The concepts and practices are based on the K-12 CS framework.

1 = Present, Blank = Not present

### **Programming Concept Codes**

#### Mutually exclusive codes
