Higher Education Computer Science : A Manual of Practical Approaches
The march towards on-line and blended teaching—present before the Covid-19 pandemic—has been accelerated by it, and there is no going back.Students and staff may object, but the economic drive towards “greater productivity” will inevitably result in less face-to-face (f2f) instruction.Therefore, it is incumbent for those delivering this precious, in-person resource to make maximum use of time…which raises the question, “how”?The second edition of Higher Education Computer Science offers some potential answers.It also addresses other questions, such as “why have f2f teaching at all?” “what is the purpose of f2f?” and “what is the appropriate balance between the two?” The first edition began to offer suggestions for optimising limited opportunities to get together with students.Aligned with that, this unique new volume examines how to use the technology available to maximum advantage: For example, resources such as Moocs and other on-line instructional materials can provide invaluable pedagogic support.In addition, the book addresses ‘problem-based learning,’ using robotics in the teaching of programming, and a multidisciplinary approach to data science.Although it includes a chapter on distance learning, there is greater emphasis placed on the soft, transferable skills and employability skills that are best delivered in person.Further, the work provides several examples of putting theory into practice when teaching computer science at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Written by experienced practitioners, each chapter tackles a particular teaching activity or topic within computing, presented in such a way that other practitioners can use.As such, this new volume will be an invaluable resource to those who want to protect and optimise in-person teaching.

Computer Speech Technology
Offers a non-technical overview of all the major areas in the computer processing of human speech: speech recognition; speech synthesis; speaker recognition; language identification, lip synchronisation; and co-channel separation.The text's intuitive approach uses illustrations, analogies, and both historical and state-of-the-art descriptions to explain relatively complex concepts.Specifically, it helps the reader learn the professional jargon used in different areas of speech processing, evaluate speech processing systems for specific applications, understand how the various technologies of speech processing actually work, identify practical applications for speech technology in the commercial world, and relate speech technology to actual spoken language.

Handbook of Research on Science Teacher Education
This groundbreaking handbook offers a contemporary and thorough review of research relating directly to the preparation, induction, and career long professional learning of K–12 science teachers. Through critical and concise chapters, this volume provides essential insights into science teacher education that range from their learning as individuals to the programs that cultivate their knowledge and practices.Each chapter is a current review of research that depicts the area, and then points to empirically based conclusions or suggestions for science teacher educators or educational researchers.Issues associated with equity are embedded within each chapter.Drawing on the work of over one hundred contributors from across the globe, this handbook has 35 chapters that cover established, emergent, diverse, and pioneering areas of research, including: Research methods and methodologies in science teacher education, including discussions of the purpose of science teacher education research and equitable perspectives; Formal and informal teacher education programs that span from early childhood educators to the complexity of preparation, to the role of informal settings such as museums; Continuous professional learning of science teachers that supports building cultural responsiveness and teacher leadership; Core topics in science teacher education that focus on teacher knowledge, educative curricula, and working with all students; and Emerging areas in science teacher education such as STEM education, global education, and identity development. This comprehensive, in-depth text will be central to the work of science teacher educators, researchers in the field of science education, and all those who work closely with science teachers.

Logic in Computer Science
Mathematical logic is an important basis for mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence alike.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to various logics, including classical propositional logic and first-order predicate logic, as well as equational logic, temporal logic, and Hoare logic.In addition, it presents proof procedures for classical logics and decision procedures for checking the satisfiability of logical formulas. The book assumes no background in logic. It presents logics as practical tools for solving various problems in artificial intelligence and formal verification.Accordingly, it is well suited for (junior and senior) undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer science or mathematics.Each chapter includes roughly a dozen exercise problems, so as to help the reader understand the concepts and techniques discussed.
