presentation
posted on 2023-06-07, 23:51 authored by Kate HowlandKate Howland, Judith Good, K NicholsonThis paper explores the potential for simplified programming languages to support the development of computational thinking skills in non-programmers We suggest that novice programming languages might offer a starting point for non-programmers to engage with a substantial subset of computational thinking concepts, and assess a number of languages from this perspective We outline four key computational thinking skills and examine the support provided by existing languages We then de scribe additional characteristics which would be important for a new language aimed specifically at developing computational thinking skills
