Contextual methods of instruction have many benefits for creating interest, providing relevance, and increasing engagement in computer science courses. These benefits can lower failure rates, improve retention, increase student self-efficacy regarding programming, and increase positive views about computer science. My doctoral research involves developing the curricula for and assessing the learning outcomes of a novel contextual teaching and learning method called User Interface Computation, which may offer benefits similar to media computation and provide another effective context for computing instruction.
