Abstract: The 157 computing education papers from the past eight\nNACCQ conferences are categorised and summarised by\na group of researchers from multiple institutions, with\nsteps taken to measure and improve the consistency of\nclassification. The papers are set predominantly in\nprogramming subjects, hardware/architecture/systems/\nnetwork subjects, and capstone projects. The bulk of the\npapers are about teaching/learning techniques, assessment\ntechniques, teaching/learning tools, curriculum, and\neducational technology. Most of the papers are set within\nsingle subjects, a few in multiple subjects within a single\nprogram or department, and fewer still in a range of\nsubjects across the whole institution or multiple\ninstitutions. Nearly a quarter of the papers either expound\na position or outline a proposal; a large but diminishing\nproportion report on something such as a change of\ncurriculum or approach; and a large and increasing\nproportion are clearly research papers, focusing on the\nanalysis of data to answer an explicit research question.
