This department also createdand integrated several computational modules into the six materials science core courses tosupport solving disciplinary problems. This presented an opportunity to conduct research toidentify effective pedagogical strategies to scaffold student learning in this context 4,5.Identifying appropriate scaffolding methods in this endeavor is important because learningcomputer programming is a complex task in itself. Now, pairing programming with disciplinaryconcepts may increase the complexity of this learning process4. To scaffold the integration of programming concepts with disciplinary concepts, thisstudy
