9-12.IC.24 (Computer Science)
Standard Identifier:
9-12.IC.24
Content Area:
Computer Science
Grade Range:
9–12
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Subconcept:
Culture
Practice(s):
Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture (1.2)
Standard:
Identify impacts of bias and equity deficit on design and implementation of computational artifacts and apply appropriate processes for evaluating issues of bias.
Descriptive Statement:
Biases could include incorrect assumptions developers have made about their users, including minimal exposure to computing, access to education, and training opportunities. Students identify and use strategies to test and refine computational artifacts with the goal of reducing bias and equity deficits and increasing universal access. For example, students could use a spreadsheet to chart various forms of equity deficits, and identify solutions in existing software. Students could use and refine the spreadsheet solutions to create a strategy for methodically testing software specifically for bias and equity.
