Every child a coder?: research challenges for a 5--18 programming curriculum
conference contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 14:29 authored by Kate HowlandKate Howland, Judith Good, Judy Robertson, Andrew ManchesThe current drive in many countries to teach computing, particularly programming, to all from an early age, has potential to empower and support children in creative and problem-solving tasks. However, there are a number of challenges in ensuring that computing curricula, tools and environments embody appropriate progression and engender motivation for the topic across the school years. This workshop will consider the key research challenges in learning coding throughout childhood, with contributions from developmental psychologists, educators, researchers of children's programming, and designers of developmentally appropriate technologies for children.
