Andreas Brandsaeter; Runar Lie Berge – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
The reasons for teaching programming in school are indeed manifold. Programming can for example be utilized as a vehicle for understanding and learning particular mathematical subject matter, or as a tool for solving mathematical problems. In this paper, however, we propose to utilize programming as a vehicle for developing mathematical…

Iteration Sequences and Their Representations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weigand, Hans-Georg – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
This empirical investigation, implemented with a computer program, examined the influence of graphical and numerical representations on the discovery process involving iteration sequence properties and concomitant problem-solving abilities for 79 eleventh grade students and 22 secondary mathematics teachers. Results indicate that heuristics and…

Teacher's Role and Reproducibility of Didactical Situations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arsac, Gilbert; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1992
Teacher's abilities to remain sufficiently faithful to predefined learning scenarios are examined via case studies. The behavior of 2 teachers during problem-solving sessions in geometry with 13-14 year olds exhibited 2 types of factors that tend to hamper scenario reproducibility: constraints on the teacher resulting from the teaching situation;…
