The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $298,439 under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Michigan to design and implement task-specific programming languages in discrete mathematics classes from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The project aims to test the value of using two task-specific programming languages developed for specific learning contexts compared to a traditional language like Python. Students will use the languages to solve counting problems and think aloud as they work, with the data analyzed to assess understanding. Results will contribute to knowledge around programming's role in discrete mathematics learning and the ability of tailored languages to scaffold instruction when integrated into e-books with minimal training. Findings will be disseminated to advance computing and mathematics education.
