Abstract
The aim of our research work is to understand reasoning activities of students when they solve Bebras tasks, and especially how they use the diagrams in the solving process. We first need to classify them. This paper gives first results of an ongoing work, of characterization of task according to (i) the types of diagrams and interactive artifacts given in statement and (ii) the way they are explicitly involved in solving process by textual statements of problems.
