“…However, the liquid workforce is agile and non-permanent in nature, and therefore, it poses a different set of engagement issues for these organizations (Accenture, 2016a(Accenture, , 2016b. Generally, youth have a desire for career and work flexibility (Tissenbaum et al, 2017;Wu, 2018), and the main objective of this study was to examine the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between perceived career support and work performance and between career adaptability and work performance.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of work engagement between the relationship of perceived career support and work performance as well as between the relationship of career adaptability and work performance. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected form 606 i-generation liquid knowledge workers. They had completed their internship program in the industry for a period of at least one month. Regression analysis was carried out to test the hypothesized framework. Findings Most of the results indicated support for the hypotheses. Work engagement was found to be mediating the perceived career support and work performance relationship fully. However, work engagement was found to be mediating the career adaptability and work performance relationship only partially. Research limitations/implications Engaging liquid workers plays a crucial role in passing the positive effects of perceived career support and career adaptability to work performance. Practical implications The findings suggest that managers may take steps to enhance engagement levels of the employees so that it can help the interns high on perceived career support and career adaptability perform well at work. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is unique that tests and finds the intervening role of work engagement between work performance and the two career-related constructs.

“…Examples of such projects have taken advantage of the integrative nature of CT, leveraging computing as a means to engage in more familiar topics, such as music, dance, or storytelling, which may build students' attitudes and confidence toward computer science (e.g., Allen-Handy et al, 2020;Magerko et al, 2016;Pinkard et al, 2017;Weston & Biin, 2013). Other projects have utilized computing as a means for students to interrogate and counteract dominant cultural norms and inequality within society (e.g., Lee & Soep, 2016;Proctor & Blikstein, 2019;Tissenbaum et al, 2017;Vakil, 2014). Re-envisioning computer science pedagogy to be inclusive of student voices; relevant, and meaningful to students' interests and experiences; and connected to social issues within their communities is imperative to break the stereotype of who can and should participate in computer science (Ryoo, 2019).…”

Technology is becoming more integral across professional fields and within our daily lives, especially since the onset of the pandemic. As such, opportunities to learn computational thinking are important to all students—not only the ones who will eventually study computer science or enter the information technology industry. However, large inequalities continue to exist in access to equipment and learning opportunities needed to build computational thinking skills for students that experience marginalization. We call all educators to integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning across PreK-12 education, while centering inclusivity, to equip students with the skills they need to participate in our increasingly technological world and promote justice for students and society at large. This report issues two calls to action for educators to design inclusive computing learning opportunities for students: (1) integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning, and (2) build capacity for computational thinking with shared leadership and professional learning. Inspired by the frameworks, strategies, and examples of inclusive computational thinking integration, readers can take away practical implications to reach learners in their contexts.

“…More traditional computing and programming activities also purposefully include and allow for cultural integration. The Scratch platform (Maloney et al, 2010;Resnick et al, 2009), EarSketch (Magerko et al, 2016), MIT App Inventor (Jimenez & Gardner-McCune, 2015;King et al, 2014;Tissenbaum et al, 2017;Vakil, 2014), and the Exploring Computer Science curriculum (Goode & Margolis, 2011;Ryoo et al, 2013) including adaptations to specific cities (Mejias et al, 2018;Washington et al, 2012;Washington & Burge, 2013) all teach computer science while also creating opportunities for youth to utilize and celebrate their various cultures.…”
