Elizabeth Simon
Dr. Beth Simon is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Education Studies. Her research interests lie in the areas of computing education and online and technology-enhanced teaching.
Beth is involved in development of high school computing curriculum and the training and community needs of K-12 teachers wanting to bring computing education opportunities to their students. Recently, Beth co-chaired the California Department of Education's Computer Science Standards Advisory Committee defining the K-12 standards for CS learning in California. Previously, Beth designed an inaugural pilot of the new Advanced Placement Computer Science Principals course. She also studied the impacts of evidence-based active learning practices (e.g., Peer Instruction) on student outcomes in higher education, student conceptions of computing concepts, and novice computing students’ self-efficacy.
For 11 years, Beth served as a Teaching Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. She has also been the Director of UCSD's Center for Teaching Development and is currently the UCSD Faculty Advisor for Digital Learning in the Teaching + Learning Commons.
