Researching students’ conceptions in computer science education (CSEd) is a recent and growing field. Until now the most studies are only focused on uncovering students’ conceptions without taking any further steps. However, according to conceptual change theory it is only the first step to know about occurring conceptions. Hence, this brief article focuses on using conceptual change texts as a teaching method for a potential integration in CSEd.
