DESCRIPTION:Please sign up @ https://www.raspberrypi.org/computing-educati
 on-research-online-seminars/\n\nSecondary school students and teachers hav
 e particular needs and face specific constraints that result in a unique l
 andscape in terms of programming education. The rise of generative AI comp
 licates this scene but also provides several potential opportunities. One 
 of the greatest challenges in this arena is that while university students
  studying computing have a high likelihood of continuing on a path in comp
 uting\, most school students choose to go into non-computing disciplines f
 or further/higher education and/or their careers. This talk will focus on 
 how generative AI may be effectively utilised in secondary school programm
 ing education and how it can be leveraged so that students can be best pre
 pared for continuing their education or beginning their careers\, regardle
 ss of discipline.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nDr Brett A. Becker is an Assistant Profes
 sor at University College Dublin in the School of Computer Science. His re
 search area is computing education broadly construed\, normally focusing o
 n the psychology of programming\, programming error messages\, novice prog
 rammer behaviour\, metacognition\, and generative AI in education. In 2020
 \, he was awarded a National Forum Teaching & Learning Research Fellowship
 \, Ireland’s most prestigious national award in higher education.
