Strengths and weaknesses of computer science degrees: The perception from European students
Abstract: The following
investigation aims to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the computer
science degree from the part of students.
Design/methodology/approach: This paper presents the results of a
quantitative investigation that sheds light on student’s motivations to pursue
or reject computer science.
Findings: The study identified the reasons that cause this rejection and
suggest them as opportunities to enhance the domain in the future.
Practical implications: This study is a preliminary phase of a larger
research goal which aims to identify the strategies presented to computer
science education using technology to foster interest in the domain among
students and professionals in Europe.
Originality/value: The declining number of computer science students in
Europe is producing negative consequences in the technology field that affect
other sectors like the economic and educational ones. In order to analyze this
situation and in view of providing solutions to stop the decline, it is
primordial to understand the reasons that retain students to choose this domain
of study or that attract and retain them in the field.
