Research Interests

  • Empirical Research in CS Education (e.g., Student Interest for CS, Student Problems Learning Theoretical CS)
  • Qualitative Research Methods for subject-oriented research (e.g., bigraphical research, Grounded Theory, Ethnographical Approaches)
  • Pedagogical Approaches in Light of Constructive and Situated Learing Theories
  • Computer-Supported Cooperative Learning (e.g., visualizations as supports for teaching and learning programming)
