  note		= {The phenomenographic outcome space presented in this
		  report has previously been published as part of a journal
		  article (Thun{\'e} and Eckerdal 2009). Due to space
		  limitations in the journal publication, we have found it
		  appropriate to make available a more comprehensive
		  description of the outcome space, in the present technical
		  report.},
  abstract	= {The present work has its focus on university level
		  engineering education students that do not intend to major
		  in computer science but still have to take a mandatory
		  programming course. Phenomenography is applied to empirical
		  data in the form of semi-structured interviews with
		  students who had recently taken an introductory programming
		  course. A phenomenographic outcome space is presented, with
		  five qualitatively different categories of description of
		  students~ ways of seeing computer programming.}
