Taherkhani, Ahmad; Korhonen, Ari; Malmi, Lauri – Computer Science Education, 2012
In this study, we examined freshmen students' sorting algorithm implementations in data structures and algorithms' course in two phases: at the beginning of the course before the students received any instruction on sorting algorithms, and after taking a lecture on sorting algorithms. The analysis revealed that many students have insufficient…

Seppala, Otto; Malmi, Lauri; Korhonen, Ari – Computer Science Education, 2006
Data structures and algorithms are core issues in computer programming. However, learning them is challenging for most students and many of them have various types of misconceptions on how algorithms work. In this study, we discuss the problem of identifying misconceptions on the principles of how algorithms work. Our context is algorithm…
