Petra Mihalič (2014) Teaching Programming with Scratch. EngD thesis.
Abstract
There are quite a few good programing languages and environments for teaching kids how to program. They help beginners learn basic programming constructs usually with help of interactive environment. In this thesis I will describe and compare a few of those languages and environments. Scratch is a language and programming environment that is also intended for learning programming using blocks that make writing complicated instructions easier and reduce beginners' difficulties with syntax errors. Due to the lack of assignments for learning programming constructs I have written a few assignments for students of second triad of primary school with help of findings from Scratch programming workshops.
