 This book provides an overview of how to approach computer science education research from a pragmatic perspective. It represents the diversity of traditions and approaches inherent in this interdisciplinary area, while also providing a structure within which to make sense of that diversity. It provides multiple "entry points" to literature, to methods, to topics - inviting readers to explore further for themselves those sub-areas that capture their specific interests. The book indicates the range of motivations, traditions, research design, and techniques in an attempt to provide orientation for someone new to research in this area.
