Abstract

In this paper we discuss the topics that should be included in basic computing education and the levels of education at which they should be introduced. We present the resource centre IMPEd, which aims at improving education in mathematics and programming by drawing on results from empirical studies. The research focuses on three main topics, which are also briefly summarized.
