Abstract

The study investigated students’ instrumentalization levels and computer programming self-efficacy in mathematics classrooms while using Scratches, to understand the properties of equality. 32 of 7th-grade students from D middle school in Gyeonggi-do participated in the program consisting of 7 lesson units. To investigate individual students' levels of instrumentalization, each worksheet they worked on using Scratches was saved into computers after each lesson. Questionnaires measured self-efficacy regarding computer programming at the study's beginning and the end. The level of students' instrumentalization was revealed to be variously from level 0 to 4. In the beginning, 9% of students corresponded to level 3 or 4, but more than 80% of students reached level 3 or above at the end. In addition, computer programing self-efficacy was improved significantly.
