Therefore, the computing education research community (CER)have explored pedagogies to improve computing students' learning outcomes based on existinglearning theories. Few studies have reviewed pedagogies in the context of social constructivism.Social constructivism is a learning theory defined as the collaborative co-construction ofknowledge. Social constructivist pedagogies have enhanced learning outcomes for minoritizedwomen in other STEM fields, but their effects have not been studied extensively in CER.

In addition, 40% of those with a bachelor’s andmaster’s degree in engineering from 1999 to 2000 attended community colleges as part of theiracademic journey47. The main reason students choose to begin their higher education pathwaywith community colleges is the need to reduce financial costs of their education. According to a2005 National Research Council study, community colleges have not achieved their full potentialfor the following reasons:(1) a lack of understanding among parents, teachers, counselors, and students of theeffectiveness of community colleges in producing engineering graduates;(2) less than effective articulation agreements (policies and program designed to foster
