TFPIE 2023: Trends in Functional Programming in Education 2023

Boston Park Plaza

Boston, MA, United States, January 12, 2023

The 2023 edition of Trends in Functional Programming in Education will be held on January 12th in Boston, Massachusetts, together with TFP which will be held on January 13-14, and in conjunction with POPL held January 15-21.

The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2023 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), Sophia-Antipolis, France (2015), College Park, USA (2016), Canterbury, UK (2017), Gothenburg (2018) and Vancouver (2019), Krakow, Poland (2020) and online due to COVID-19 (2021, 2022, with some talks from TFPIE 2022 also presented in person at the Lambda Days in Krakow, Poland).

Submission Guidelines

TFPIE 2023 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom,tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use offunctional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• FP and beginning CS students 
• FP and Computational Thinking 
• FP and Artificial Intelligence  FP in Robotics 
• FP and Music  Advanced FP for undergraduates 
• FP in graduate education 
• Engaging students in research using FP 
• FP in Programming Languages 
• FP in the high school curriculum 
• FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics 
• FP and Philosophy 
• The pedagogy of teaching FP 
• FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. 
• Best Lectures - more details below

In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What's yourbest lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FPconcepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of adifficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topicswill be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing thelecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentationshould be comparable to that of a paper. In addition, the speaker can providecommentary on effectiveness or student feedback.

Submissions

Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) ora draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentationswill have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website.Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following link:

After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of) theirarticle for the formal review. The PC will select the best articles for publicationin the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articlesrejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewedby the PC.
