Learning Programming

Learning programming is an integral part of the school informatics course. The teachers often start to teach programming with the "childish" language Scratch, which, despite its simplicity, makes it possible to write not only the simplest program, but also quite complex programs that reflect the basic principles of programming such as variables, loops, branches, etc. Continuing learning programming pupils can use Python, which is one of the most popular programming languages. The article proposes an approach to implementing the continuity of programming learning in the transition from learning Scratch to learning Python, namely, using the capabilities of the online educational platform EduBlocks. EduBlocks is an easy way to go from block programming to text-based programming. The main part of EduBlocks is the visual block editor. After completing the construction of the program in this editor, you can go to the "regular" Python editor. Python code is displayed in blocks, so pupils learn Python syntax while coding in a familiar block-level environment.

This chapter presents the architecture and design of Enki, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for learning programming languages on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This environment can be used as a tool by a Learning Management System (LMS) and a typical LMS such as Moodle can launch it using the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) API. Student authentication tokens are passed via LTI, thus integrating Enki in the single sign-on domain of the academic institution. The proposed tool has a web user interface similar to those of reference IDEs, where the learner has access to different integrated tools, from viewing tutorial videos, to solving programming exercises that are automatically evaluated. Enki uses several gamification strategies to engage learners, including generic gamifications services provided by Odin and the sequencing of educational resources. The course content (videos, PDFs, programming exercises) is progressively disclosed to the learner as he successfully completes exercises. This is similar to what happens in a game, where new levels are unlocked as the previous are completed, thus contributing to the sense of achievement.

Tutoring systems for programming help students understand features of target programming languages, and develop their general problem solving skills. Our system guides novices in learning syntax and semantics of programming language, problem decomposition, program design and testing. It is language independent, automatically adjusting course material to the language - subject of learning. Semantic analysis of student’s programs is based on comparison of abstract semantics trees of student’s and model-program. Model-program is coded by innovative programming language describing goals and variants of possible solutions. The notional machine defined by programming language, its verbal description of instruction actions and visualization of program execution, helps students to understand semantics of teaching language. Advancement through the course material controlled by computer teacher supports connection of new concepts to the present student’s knowledge. The system applies distinct teaching strategies to stoppers and movers.

This study investigated university students’ preferences when the principles of constructivism are applied in their learning of programming languages with the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the factors which influence these preferences.‎ The respondents for this study were 193 students from three courses teaching programming languages in computer labs. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The study involved one group of students who were taught programming languages based on the principles of constructivism and another group which was taught using the lecture-based teaching methods. At the end of the courses, data were collected through a questionnaire instrument that consisted of set of questions on a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA. The results show that in their learning of programming languages, the students had strong preferences for using each of the principles of constructivism considered in this study. The results showed that there were no significant differences in students’ preferences regarding the use of constructivist principles based on gender, age, major, and prior experience in constructivist learning except for one scale. To maximize students' learning, students' preferences regarding the characteristics of the classroom learning environment should govern educational practice. The recommendations for higher education are related to educational practice as well as to ways of using ICTs to support university students' learning in general and to support the learning of programming languages in particular.
