How Things Work
- Recognizing and defining functionality is a key competence adopted in all kinds of programming projects. This study investigates how far students without specific informatics training are able to identify and verbalize functions and parameters. It presents observations from classroom activities on functional modeling in high school chemistry lessons with altogether 154 students. Finally it discusses the potential of functional modelling to improve the comprehension of scientific content.
