Abstract
Using computer algebra is not as easy it may seem. Students often encounter obstacles while working in a computer algebra environment. In this paper, global and local obstacles are distinguished, and obstacles from both categories are identified. The theory of instrumentation provides a framework for interpreting an obstacle as an unbalance of the conceptual and technical aspects of an instrumentation scheme. It is argued that making the obstacles explicit and trying to overcome them leads to conceptual development. Therefore, obstacles are opportunities for learning.
