Integrating Programming into Norwegian Upper-Secondary Science Instruction: Teachers’ Backgrounds and Perceived Challenges. Nordic Studies in Science Education (NorDiNa).

In 2020, Norway introduced a science curriculum reform integrating programming into upper-secondary natural science, biology, chemistry, and physics subjects. However, many teachers had limited programming experience, and it is therefore of interest to investigate how they have implemented it. We surveyed 260 science teachers three years after initial implementation to assess their programming backgrounds and perceived challenges with integrating programming into their instruction. We identified significant disciplinary differences: Physics teachers had the strongest programming foundation, while biology, chemistry, and natural science teachers struggled with learning programming and finding relevant disciplinary applications. Across all subjects, teachers cited insufficient knowledge among themselves and their students, lack of time, and limited resources as major challenges. While professional development (PD) courses have helped some get started, access to these courses is limited. Based on these results we argue that to ensure effective and continued programming integration, teachers need targeted, subject-specific PD that addresses both programming skills, science applications, and pedagogical strategies.
