Cecilia Axell; Astrid Berg – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Although digital technology is an important part of young people's lives, previous research implies that they have a limited understanding of what programming is and its connection to the digital devices they encounter every day. In order to create conditions for meaningful teaching in and about programming in technology education, more knowledge…

Bråting, Kajsa; Kilhamn, Cecilia – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
We characterize the recently included programming content in Swedish mathematics textbooks for elementary school. Especially, the connection between programming content and traditional mathematical content has been considered. The analytical tools used are based on the so-called 5E's, a theoretical framework of action, developed within the…

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…

Sparf, Maria – Designs for Learning, 2021
Within a theoretical framework grounded in design for learning, this article presents a research project about pupils' engagement during programming education. In a design-theoretical perspective, everyone who is somehow engaged in a learning process is a designer. The results show that how pupils design their learning when programming is related…

Stigberg, Henrik; Stigberg, Susanne – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
Programming and computational thinking have emerged as compulsory skills in elementary school education. In 2018, Sweden has integrated programming in mathematics education with the rationale that it fosters problem solving and logical thinking skills and motivates students to learn mathematics. We investigated how teachers introduce programming…
