The purpose of this thesis was to create an interactive prototype to investigate how code visualisation affects students’ intrinsic motivation while learning programming. The theoretical part discusses learning to program, motivation in learning to program, visualisation in education, and code visualisation. The practical part consists of interviews and a quasi-experiment. The interviews focused on participants’ experience with learning programming. The experiment involved creating an interactive prototype based on the interview results, testing the prototype, and analysing the results. Motivation was measured before and after testing the prototype by using adapted version of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. The results showed that intrinsic motivation increased among participants who used the visualised prototype, whereas motivation decreased in the control group.
