Learning through Construction's Influence on IT Students' Identity Formation
Pages 348 - 349
Abstract
This PhD work aims to understand how Learning through Construction (LtC) affects the formation of IT identity in students. Thematic qualitative study with principles of constructivist Grounded Theory investigates what the students experience in the context of LtC, and how they are affected by these experiences.
