When many parents are considering whether to let their children learn programming, they feel that they cannot participate in their children's learning process because they do not understand programming, and they do not know how to test their children's learning achievements. A series of inner uncertainties have caused repeated hesitation. In fact, children's programming learning is also staged. The most important responsibility of parents is often not the so-called "counseling", but to be a guide in the process of enlightenment, and stand with children to experience the benefits of programming. The change in thinking perspective is already a very meaningful experience for children. From these aspects, the Gerststein Little Tank looks at the way parents participate in children's programming learning.
Programming learning emphasizes the initiative of children, starting with interesting scenes and games, it is more helpful to stimulate children's interest in learning. Children's interest generated by curiosity about external things is often the strongest motivation to drive their learning, and so is programming. It is the child's nature to love to play. Therefore, parents can first expose their children to robot programming teaching tools. During the process of interacting with the robot, it is not only a situational interaction, but also a gamified interaction process. Children will find in the robot that through learning, they have the ability to implement interesting functions through code. The sooner the child is exposed to programming or other subjects, the sooner the child’s fear will be eliminated. If you want to know whether your child is interested, you must first let the child learn, and then the child will give the answer. Guide him to discover the simplest and most interesting part of this complex system. Every time you master a knowledge point, you immediately get a practical feedback, which is the process of building a sense of familiarity. Therefore, the robot plays the role of a "knowledge self-confidence shaper" when children learn to program. The knowledge they learned can be practiced on the robot immediately, and structured thinking can be built up over time. Through parent-friendly guidance, let children understand that the method of solving problems needs to be broken down step by step, just like the operation of a robot, which requires continuous instructions one after another. When children encounter problems in the learning process, they will become habitual. The land continues to use this mode of thinking and actively faces the problem of splitting the problem to find a direction. Although most parents cannot help their children answer professional knowledge when they learn programming, as they can when tutoring their children in other subjects, this does not mean that parents cannot accompany their children to learn programming together. It can help record the child's learning situation and progress, and provide the child with necessary learning support.
Children will inevitably have the problem of lack of patience in the early stage. The participation of parents can help children to give up thinking less easily. In order to show their progress in front of their parents, their patience will also increase significantly. Parents can focus more on their children's learning process, rather than just looking at the learning results. In the stage of enlightenment programming, the important thing is the process of exploration. After the child has established a thinking habit, there is no need for parents to emphasize concentration too much, and the child has already shown more and more rigorous thinking. At the same time, we should encourage and praise the children's active participation. But don't blindly praise your children's talents and wits, which can easily make children form rigid thinking. Praise the child for his efforts, which will stimulate his growth mindset and make efforts a habit.
For children, whether any interest can become a future job or occupation is not certain, but interest must be an important foundation. Therefore, if we find a child's interest in programming, if we don't stop letting him touch it, the possibility is through practice Way to develop. Many of our parents will respect their children's interests and let them learn. According to many parents, it is more about providing children with alternative directions in the future.
The growth of a child is changed and developed. Just like programming, we grasp the unchanging part in the change and develop more possibilities on the unchanging basis. This growth process is the process of establishing the right to choose.
