Mathematical Problem-Solving Performance of Eighth-Grade Programmers and Nonprogrammers.
Blume, Glendon W.; Schoen, Harold L.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v19 n2 p142-56 Mar 1988
Mathematical problem-solving processes used by 27 eighth graders who had studied programming were compared to those of 27 who had not. Programmers used more systematic approaches and reviewed solutions more often than nonprogrammers but did not make more use of equations or do more planning. (PK)
