We have a new chapter in the Handbook of Information Technology in Primary and Secondary Education, in which we discuss how computer science efforts to increase the role of computing in schools gives us a unique opportunity to expand computing education research. Specifically, we have laid out directions for future research around computer science teacher development and factors that influence student learning in computer science. However, we argue that computer education researchers needs to move beyond experimental design as the standard for methodological rigor and value other theoretical perspectives and approaches. Here is a link to the chapter
