Diverse yet consistent: How mathematicians position computational thinking across research and teaching

Jan-Fredrik Olsen, Tor Ole B Odden, Elise Lockwood

Recent research in mathematics education points to an "epistemic clash" when programming and computational thinking (CT) are leveraged alongside more established forms of mathemati…
