The-more-it-changes-the-samer-it-gets Principle in the Context of Mathematics and Informatics Education

Abstract

The paper presents some observations from the authors’ teaching experience with teachers and students in a Logo and a Toon Talk environment. The effect of having different representations of the same notion is explored in the context of some important mathematics and informatics concepts and structures. A comparison is made between using visual (TT-like) and script based programming languages for educational purposes.
