“…Programming is considered to be a cognitive skill as it involves such processes as mental descriptions, understanding of the program, making changes on a program already written, debugging, structuring conceptual knowledge and performing single operations (such as loops, conditionals) (Helminen & Malmi, 2010). While programming, a learner creates a mental model by re-expressing the purpose, the data and the function of the program as she/he understands it while solving a problem, and uses this model to make predictions and formulate the differences (Helminen & Malmi, 2010).…”

“…While programming, a learner creates a mental model by re-expressing the purpose, the data and the function of the program as she/he understands it while solving a problem, and uses this model to make predictions and formulate the differences (Helminen & Malmi, 2010). In programming, the coder creates an external representation of problem solving processes, and so programming provides a person with an opportunity to apply a lot of deep thinking (metacognitive awareness) about their own thinking (Resnick, et al,, 2009).…”

Recent developments in technology have changed the learner's profile and the learning outcomes. Today, with the emergence of higher-order thinking skills and computer literacy skills, teaching through traditional methods is likely to fail to achieve the learning outcomes. That is why; teachers and teacher candidates are expected to have computer literacy skills. Programming is the main focus of this study since it is an important part of computer literacy. The study aims to analyze mathematics education students' skills in the process of programming and their practices of integrating it into their teaching. The participants of the study are 42 third grade students of an Elementary Mathematics Education Program of a state university in Turkey. Within the study in which theory and practice was carried out simultaneously, the participants were taught the basics of programming and the algorithms with C programming language. The teacher candidates put the theoretical knowledge into practice using the visual programming application by MIT App Inventor at the computer laboratory. In addition, they used the MIT App Inventor visual programming environment to develop programs they will use in teaching mathematics in groups. Given the component of teaching of programming during this process, it is considered that the process of teaching in question will be effective in planning the teaching process of future studies. The reason is that not only it analyses the development of the variables used in this study but also because it takes into consideration the opinions of teacher candidates.

Abstract-Visualization tool has been proven useful in enhancing novice programmer's learning. Despite the large number of studies performed on visualization tools, it appears to be very few using it to assist students in understanding the fundamental concept of hardware software interfacing programming. Therefore, in this study, a program visualization (PV) kit was developed with the main objective is as a practical hands-on learning kit for novice in exploring and gaining basic skills of hardware software interfacing in visual environment. The ADDIE instructional design model was utilized in the design process; which consists of five principal phases namely, analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The development processes was grounded on Cognitive Load Theory, Models of Human Memory and educational principles to ensure the maximum effectiveness of learning. The PV kit consist hardware visualization and software visualization. The hardware visualization is an external device that can be connected to the USB port, where the learners can visualize the input and output result from the task stimulated by the software. The software visualization contains main learning activities that have been organized from simple to complex tasks. It is expected that the PV kit could be benefited by the students in developing the basic skills of hardware software interfacing programming.Index Terms-Hardware software interfacing, instructional, programming, visualization.
