Welcome! I'm Anna Yaghobová
Ph. D. at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University
I’m a researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. My research explores how students make sense of digital systems such as the internet and computers—and what teachers can do to support and refine those ideas.
Research Areas
Computing Education
Research on teaching and learning core concepts of computer science, with a focus on lower secondary education.
Students’ Preconceptions
Investigation of students’ everyday ideas and understanding of digital technologies, especially the internet and computer systems.
Instructional materials
Design and evaluation of instructional materials for teaching about digital systems and technologies.
