, thereach of CS ethics education is perhaps less extensive than commonly thought. However, asBrown et al. [12] show in their systematic review of 100 CS ethics education research paperspublished in top venues, there is a roughly even distribution of ethics teaching between standalonecourses (32%) and integration of ethics content into one (26%) or more (35%) modules of atechnical course. With respect to teaching approach, instructors use a mix of pedagogicalstrategies in delivering content, the most common of which are class discussions, readings,lectures, and writing assignments [12]. Active learning techniques such as role-playingsimulations, debates, and games are less common.While approaches to teaching computing ethics vary across institutions

These comments identify a broader range of negative andpositive course-related issues, providing deeper, student-centered, context-specific insights thathelp improve teaching outcomes [7, 13]. Free-response feedback can also unveil difficulties stu-dents experience during the course [14]. Moreover, the style of feedback itself can significantly shape the student experience. For in-stance, reflective writing can reveal “personal learning experiences” [8]. Research finds that re-flective journaling improves content comprehension and promotes self-analysis, encourages self-efficacy, fosters student engagement (especially when faculty respond to comments), and strength-ens career skills [4].

Many new practices are also introduced in these data science courses, includingdata scraping, data cleaning, unsupervised machine learning, writing functions, and chainingfunctions. This shows that data science holds value as a standalone subject, separate fromstatistics, mathematics, or other subjects.Integration into Existing Courses The nature of K-12 curriculum and schooling does not easilyallow for the creation of an entirely new course focused on data science, largely due to timelimitations. The integration of data science into existing courses can be an efficient way to botheducate students about data science and show practical applications for the concepts

, andexpertise from colleagues. This distributed expertise means that engineers must developsophisticated epistemic skills to evaluate the credibility of different sources and justify their useof others’ knowledge. For example, Gainsburg [2] describes how one engineer came to trust avendor’s specifications through previous interactions that demonstrated the vendor’s deepknowledge of wood properties. Such social validation of knowledge extends beyond individualtrust relationships—engineering judgments are frequently negotiated through team discussions,peer reviews, and professional networks where collective expertise helps validate or challengeindividual judgments. In short, examining the social dimensions of epistemic cognition isparticularly important

First-year studentsare typically in a period of social and academic transition, during which they are more likelyto engage with new perspectives and unfamiliar peers. In contrast, third-year students mayhave already formed more stable social networks and academic identities, potentially limitingtheir openness to intercultural engagement. These findings suggest that interventions aimed atenhancing global competence may need to be tailored to students’ developmental stages.3.2.Results of STEM COIL modules (one purely STEM COIL and one STEM COIL with supplementary history components
