Haeryun Kim, a Ph.D. student in Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, recently published a paper in the journal Policy Futures in Education.
Her paper "Who Takes Computer Science in High School? Intersectional and Longitudinal Evidence" uses statewide data from North Carolina, which contains longitudinal student-level background and course-taking information from 2005–2006 to the 2018–2019 school year, to estimate linear probability models predicting course taking.
The study purports to be the first to use large-scale longitudinal student-level data and an intersectional lens to investigate how CS enrollment varies by student background at the high school level, especially in the context of North Carolina.
