儿童编程教育的育人价值探析

An Analysis of the Educational Value of Children’s Programming Education

儿童编程教育不是教儿童学习写代码,也不是计算机编程教育的提前,它更注重“用编程学,而不是学编程”,促进儿童通用素养和领域素养的发展。儿童编程教育是通过编程工具构建“微世界”,让儿童进行探究和创造。教育过程注重保持儿童的学习动力,以促进儿童学会学习。儿童编程教育也为培养儿童的计算思维提供了有效途径。

Children’s programming education is neither about teaching children how to write codes,nor the preparation for computer programming education.It pays more attention to“using programming instead of learning programming”to promote children’s general literacy and their development in certain areas.Actually,it is to create a“micro world”through programming tools,allowing children to explore and create.In the education process,maintaining children’s learning motivation is the key to developing their capability of learning.So,children’s programming education also provides an effective way to cultivate their computational thinking.
