Programming for Understanding Mathematics

Purpose

The research group works with various research and development projects related to programming in teaching in Norwegian schools. We particularly seek to investigate how programming is used as a resource and aid for increasing students' mathematical understanding and competence. We work with programming in primary and secondary education, as well as in teacher education.
