ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the use of code.org (particularly Course 2) on elementary school students’ attitudes towards programming, and whether the positive effects of this software are lower for students who are 7 or 8 years old. The research involved 293 students (age range: 7–10). After the use of Course 2 of code.org, the older students (9- and 10-year-olds) expressed a significantly more positive attitude towards programming than the younger ones (7- and 8-year-olds). The total number of the tasks that the students solved successfully in Course 2 shows that the older students were significantly more successful than the younger students, which could have influenced the difference in their attitudes. Based upon the results, it can be concluded that the use of Course 2 of code.org by younger students, who are unable to solve a significant number of the programming tasks, can negatively affect their attitude towards programming. Therefore, Course 2 of code.org should not be used on younger students. Some parts of Course 2 could be used by younger students in accordance with K5 standards, but these tasks should be clearly identified on the code.org website or carefully selected by teachers.

调查使用 code.org 对低年级小学生编程态度的影响

摘要

本研究的目的是调查使用code.org(特别是课程2)对小学生编程态度的影响,以及该软件对7岁或8岁学生的积极影响是否较低. 该研究涉及 293 名学生(年龄范围:7-10 岁)。使用 code.org 的课程 2 后,年龄较大的学生(9 岁和 10 岁)对编程的态度明显比年轻学生(7 岁和 8 岁)更积极。学生在课程 2 中成功解决的任务总数表明,年龄较大的学生比年轻的学生成功得多,这可能影响了他们态度的差异。根据结果​​,可以得出结论,低年级学生使用 code.org 的课程 2,无法解决大量编程任务的人,会对他们对编程的态度产生负面影响。因此,code.org 的课程 2 不应用于低年级学生。课程 2 的某些部分可以根据 K5 标准供低年级学生使用,但这些任务应在 code.org 网站上明确标识或由教师仔细选择。
