- Additional information
- Education is often thought of as stopping at graduation: this work examines computing education in a whole-life context. This paper is significant because interview data is normally limited by the idiosyncrasies of individual expression, and so criticised for its lack of generalisability. This paper directly addresses these limitations and, for the first time, places it within two theoretical frameworks: boundary objects, and signification, so making the results more generalisable. Hence, this work permits comparison of graduates between different institutions.
