Abstract

The article presents a research that focused on how the concept programming paradigm is understood in general, and on the understanding of the following three programming paradigms, in particular: functional, procedural, and object-oriented. The research population included seventeen prospective computer science teachers who were participating in a "Programming Paradigms" course. Research observations are organized within a framework that categorizes students' thinking about the concept of programming paradigm in three levels of abstraction.
