  With recent updates to Norway's national curriculum, computational thinking and programming has become a core part of the K-12 education, leading to an influx of students entering higher education with prior programming experience. This shift has the potential to impact the teaching of ICT at universities, as foundational knowledge could allow for the introduction of more advanced topics earlier. However, the quality of programming education varies, making it essential to assess students' prior knowledge. To address this need, the Nordic Prior Knowledge Test in Programming was designed to assess incoming students' programming proficiency in the basic elements of the introductory programming course (CS1). This study details the rationale for assessing incoming students, the development and content of the test, and the preliminary results from its 2024 administration. The test was completed by 3,038 students (2,661 after data pruning) across eight higher education institutions in Norway. Results indicate a mean score of 39.9%, with a significantly higher performance among students exposed to the new curricular model (50%). Despite these gains, a substantial proportion of students scored at the lower end of the scale, highlighting the ongoing need for foundational programming instruction. Although most students will benefit from completing the standard CS1 course, a notable subset of students achieved high scores (14.7% scoring above 90%), suggesting the potential value of accelerated or alternative learning pathways, such as an advanced CS1 course or direct progression to CS2.

  Digitalisation creates opportunities and challenges, both socially and environmentally. Are computer science students interested in addressing these opportunities and challenges and is their education providing them the desired competencies? Theoretically, the paper focuses on the concept of competency and presents the eight sustainability competencies formulated in UNESCO’s Education for the Sustainable Development Goals. Two sets of data are analysed to address the research questions: data from a questionnaire focusing on their aspirations for future work and data from a deductive content analysis of the learning outcomes of six bachelor programmes in informatics. Sustainability-related factors scored important/very important in the aspirations for future work. The analysis of the learning outcomes indicates a very weak connection between learning goals and sustainability competencies. An integrative approach is proposed, which may contribute to the development of sustainability competencies that enable the students to take up normative and critical positions in digitalisation and sustainability discourses.

  Students are expected to move from one programming language (PL) to another in their computer science education. Recent work has proposed a model of PL transfer to explain how students transfer conceptual knowledge between languages. This model suggests that during the transition, learners automatically effect a transfer of semantics between languages based on syntax similarities. The semantic transfer can be positive for learning when the syntax and semantics of the new PL are similar to the prior PL (True Carryover Constructs) and becomes negative when the syntax of the prior PL is similar to the new PL but the semantics are different (False Carryover Constructs). To avoid negative semantic transfer during learning, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of explicit instruction in teaching a second PL by conducting two empirical studies. Study 1 was a within-subject study that investigated undergraduate students transitioning from procedural Python to object-oriented Java. Study 2 was a between-subject study that investigated undergraduate students transitioning from object-oriented Python to object-oriented Java at a different university. The results of both studies show that students benefited significantly more on interventions on the False Carryover Constructs categories than the True Carryover Constructs. These findings can help teachers interpret and improve their own classroom practices when teaching second PLs.
