Adding info from sources

Hi, I am planning to edit the article using the following sources:- Happe, L., Buhnova, B., Koziolek, A. et al. Effective measures to foster girls’ interest in secondary computer science education. Educ Inf Technol 26, 2811–2829 (2021)[1] This is a literature review discussing ways to improve the number of women in higher computer science education. Marshall, S., Grooms, A. Industry’s push for computer science education: Is computer science really for all. Sage Journals, Vol. 0(0) 1–22 (2022)[2] This is a research paper discussing how computer science is becoming part of the core curriculum in schools. I would really appreciate some feedback on these sources and/or suggestions to use some other sources.AmanDwivedi11 (talk) 03:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aman, good initiative to use research papers for this, and the suggested papers are recent and published in peer-reviewed journals. I like in particular that the Happe et al article is open access. As an educational researcher, I have a few comments:

As for Marshall and Grooms (2022), note that the paper is specifically about US policy. It is therefore best to place your additions under a heading such as Computer science education in the United States or simply In the United States. At Wikipedia we attempt to make articles as globally useful as possible, and US-centrism is a recurrent challenge. They also seem to be focusing on a particular company, so make sure you do not end up being onesided.
The Happe et al article focuses on girls. I suggest this could go under the heading Women in computer science. (Though I would prefer to have the heading changed to Gender perspectives in computer science education).
The style you write the references is a bit off, but I can help with that later. Note that the journal is not Sage Journals, but Policy Futures in Education.
In case you have limited academic/encyclopedic experience: Remember to cite the original, to paraphrase rather than copy, and be Wikipedia:Be bold! Sda030 (talk) 19:52, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
