Bjursten, Eva-Lena; Nilsson, Tor; Gumaelius, Lena – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
There is a recognized need for research on how to teach computer programming in primary schools in Sweden grades 4-6 (10-12-year-old pupils). Studies of teaching show the importance of teachers' knowledge of content and pedagogy and how these two parts affect each other (i.e. pedagogical content knowledge [PCK]). Most teachers in Sweden have…
