About the project
The project is looking at material-discursive and affective dimensions of computer programming at school. I am exploring how programming is being introduced at school, particularly in science and mathematics classrooms. This is done by examining how 7-9 grade students' programming identities have been constituted and how this affects students' engagement and interest in programming activities. I am particularly interested in how available material-discursive practices around programming at the different scales of school institutions are forming and transforming students' identities and are opening or closing possibilities for students' empowerment. The project aims to explore how we could reimagine programming that is deeply connected to matters of care for the Earth.
