Abstract

The last ten years the world has experienced a revival in computing education with countries transiting to or adopting a compulsory computing education curriculum, which has created a resurgence in undergraduate students studying computing. Coinciding with this movement, the decolonization of curriculum began to collect momentum. This paper explores these two movements in education based on Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and the influence on the design of computing curriculum, and instructional techniques for grades 9-16 computing modules. This review will inform computing curriculum designers and computing educators lessons learned in the application of social science learning theories in computing education curriculum design and delivery.
