Proceedings of the 2022 Working Group Reports on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education

In these proceedings, we present reports from the Working Groups that worked in the context of the 27th Annual Conference on Innovation & Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE), held in Dublin, Ireland, and hosted by University College Dublin (UCD) with support from the Technological University of Dublin (TU Dublin) from the 11th to the 13th of July 2022. The concept of Working Groups has been a unique feature of the ITiCSE conference series since its inception, with CompEd adopting the Working Group practice in 2019. A Working Group typically comprises 5 to 10 researchers who work together on a project related to computing education. Working Groups provide a wonderful opportunity to work intensively on a topic of interest with an international group of computing education researchers. This unique experience is one that, in our opinion, each Computer Science Educator should strive to participate in at least once. In 2022, 13 proposals for Working Groups were received and nine Working Groups (with a total of 23 Working Group leaders) were selected by the Working Group chairs to recruit members and proceed for ITiCSE 2022. There were 125 member applications to Working Groups, with 85 being accepted across the nine Working Groups. Working Groups began their intensive work virtually from April up until the beginning of the ITiCSE conference. In 2022, Working Groups had the option to run the three-day pre-conference intensive working period remotely or in-person/hybrid in Dublin. We commend the groups for organizing this significant body of work across multiple time zones and adopting a hybrid approach, allowing Working Group members who could not travel to meaningfully contribute to the final report. A draft submission was then submitted on the Sunday prior to the conference; a few weeks after the conference, the Working Groups submitted their final report for peer review. If the report was accepted for publication, the groups revised it based on the reviewers' comments and suggestions. This dedicated ITiCSE Working Group proceedings volume presents the final camera-ready version of the reports. We are glad that all nine reports were selected for publication in these proceedings for the ACM Digital Library.
