Seppala, Otto; Malmi, Lauri; Korhonen, Ari – Computer Science Education, 2006
Data structures and algorithms are core issues in computer programming. However, learning them is challenging for most students and many of them have various types of misconceptions on how algorithms work. In this study, we discuss the problem of identifying misconceptions on the principles of how algorithms work. Our context is algorithm…
