Integrative Analytics for
CS Education
Computer Science is perpetually evolving, constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation. Yet, while its innovations continually reshape our future, there's an emerging understanding that the way we learn about technology and its intent matters. Led by Dr. Preeti Raman, the Computational Innovations and Research for Care-centered Learning and Education (CIRCLE) lab, in the Department of Computer Science at the Toronto Metropolitan University, stands at the forefront of this pedagogical revolution.
The CIRCLE lab refelcts the core value that care-centered pedagogies are vital for fostering a holistic educational experience for ALL students. Introducing a care-centric approach in Computer Science aims to nurture not just the computational skills of budding computer scientists, but also their emotional intelligence, empathy, and ethical reasoning.
At CIRCLE, we study the affordnaces and effectiveness of technologies that foster care-centered approaches, continuously refining our methodologies based on empirical data. We build integrative data analytics to understand emotion, engagement, effort and enactments. We care about the larger societal implications of Computer Science, from the biases in machine learning models to the ethics of data privacy.
