Students’ Conceptions of Computer Programming
Michael Thuné, Anna Eckerdal · KTH Publication Database DiVA (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) · 2010
The present work has its focus on university level engineering education students that do not intend to major in computer science but still have to take a mandatory programming course. Phenomenography is applied to empirical data in the form of semi-structured interviews with students who had recently taken an introductory programming course. A phenomenographic outcome space is presented, with five qualitatively different categories of description of students' ways of seeing computer programming.
