Gueudet, Ghislaine; Buteau, Chantal; Muller, Eric; Mgombelo, Joyce; Sacristán, Ana Isabel; Rodriguez, Marisol Santacruz – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
We are interested in understanding how university students learn to use programming as a tool for "authentic" mathematical investigations (i.e., similar to how some mathematicians use programming in their research work). The theoretical perspective of the instrumental approach offers a way of interpreting this learning in terms of…
