Using video to explore programming thinking among undergraduate students
Carol A. Wellington, Rebecca Ward · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2010
Phenomenography is a qualitative method that primarily has employed interviews of students to explore variations in how they experience some phenomenon. This study is an experiment in phenomenography in which the basic data (the interview) is replaced by video of students working on a computer science project with the goal of exploring variations in how students approach programming activities and laying the groundwork for more extensive study. While this is a preliminary study, early analysis shows that the addition of videos enriches the conclusions that can be made and further exploration of this technique is warranted.
