Programming and computational thinking have emerged as compulsory skills in elementary school education. In 2018, Sweden has integrated programming in mathematics education with the rationale that it fosters problem solving and logical thinking skills and motivates students to learn mathematics. We investigated how teachers introduce programming in mathematics education in a Swedish primary school using an explorative case study. We followed four mathematics teachers during the first semester in which programming was mandatory. They taught second-, sixth- and ninth-grade students. Our contributions are threefold: we provide an account of how programming is taught in mathematics education; we discuss how teachers reflect on the challenge of teaching programming in mathematics; and we report on students’ understanding of programming and their view on the relationship between programming and mathematics.

This study proposes to assess the relationship between student perceptions on teacher interpersonal behavior and student attitude toward Science in Indonesian Primary school. This research engaged 143 students from SDN 47 Jambi, Indonesia. To gather the data, two types of questionnaires were used; Test of Science Related Attitude (TOSRA) and the Indonesian version of the Questionnaire Teacher Interpersonal (QTI). SPSS program were applied to process the data statistically. The result shows that the questionnaires are relatively reliable for Indonesian primary students. Acceptability of Cronbach alpha coefficient was found in both actual and preferred situation. The findings also reveal that from the students’ view, their teachers have relatively good Leadership and Understanding in the classroom, less Uncertainty, Dissatisfaction and Admonishment toward students. However, the students perceive to some extent unfavorable perceptions on their Freedom and teacher Strictness. Another analysis describes that there are significant differences between actual and ideal perceptions on the whole scale of QTI except on Uncertainty. Furthermore, between male and female perceptions, this study finds that there are significant differences on Helping, and Strictness. Lastly, the multiple correlation analysis explaines that there is a correlation between the scale of QTI and Enjoyment toward science, in which Uncertainty and Admonishment scales are significantly negative affect students’ enjoyment in science classroom.
