About
Jinsook Park is a dedicated researcher in computer science education, with a primary focus on broadening participation in computing and integrating computational thinking into diverse learning environments. Her most cited work, "CS for ALL: Introducing Computational Thinking with Hands-On Experience in College" (2017), has garnered 5 citations and addresses a critical national initiative launched in 2016 to equip American students with essential computer science skills for a digital economy. Park’s major contribution lies in designing and evaluating hands-on, accessible approaches that make computational thinking tangible for college students, particularly those from non-STEM backgrounds. By emphasizing experiential learning, she helps demystify coding and algorithmic reasoning, empowering a new generation of learners to thrive in technology-driven fields. Her research underscores the importance of inclusive pedagogy in computer science, aiming to close equity gaps in digital literacy. Park’s work is especially valuable for educators and researchers seeking evidence-based strategies to implement the CS for ALL vision, and her ongoing efforts continue to shape how computational thinking is taught in higher education.
