Kaufmann, Odd Tore; Stenseth, Børre – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This article attempts to identify the kind of arguments that lower secondary school-level pupils use when they apply programming to solve a mathematical problem. By analyzing the data from one group of three pupils working together with Processing (Processing is a Java based tool primarily to learn programme visual effects supported and…

Xiang, Lin – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This is a collective case study seeking to develop detailed descriptions of how programming an agent-based simulation influences a group of 8th grade students' model-based inquiry (MBI) by examining students' agent-based programmable modeling (ABPM) processes and the learning outcomes. The context of the present study was a biology unit on…
