Abstract: | To identify early elementary students’ conceptions of programmers, we interviewed 32 first graders and 37 third graders using a draw a programmer test. Students’ responses were roughly split between drawing a person at a computer, drawing a computer only, drawing a person only, or skipping it. Unlike in related studies, students did not have strong gender divisions in their drawings. Future work should focus on how students’ conceptions change over time with programming interventions. |
