Abstract

Discourse about CT is currently shaping what debugging means, why debugging is important to practice, and how debugging will evolve as a disciplinary standard. In this paper, we contribute to this conversation by investigating how debugging resonates with other societal discourses. With a pluriversal sensibility in mind, we examine a learning environment with the objective of reimagining and rearticulating the meaning of “debugging” as a practice of close attention and attunement to relationships and interconnectedness.
