 Best School in Kumbakonam Using Visual Programming Languages - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

School education in the early years involves much drill, repetition and rote learning. The child has to learn the alphabet of the language of his education, learn vocabulary, pronunciation and elementary reading skills; be able to recognize objects, their features and relationships; and learn basic concepts and skills of arithmetic and geometry. The teaching community has developed many techniques to reduce the drudgery of drills and rote learning in early primary education such as group activities, games, songs and play-acting. However, these techniques are intense in terms of teacher-student interaction. The field of computing has the potential to contribute much to helping teachers in making early learning experience of children enjoyable and efficacious. The present work reports development of PAL - Platform for Assisted Learning. PAL is a platform for aiding understanding of concepts and learning of basic skills in areas mentioned above. Its special features are that it 
(1) uses open source software resources for content creation, 
(2) makes it fairly easy for the content authors to create their own content in a uniform manner, 
(3) enables content creation involving animation, audio, and video with rich interaction, and 
(4) enables tracking and adaptive guidance.
 
As can be seen from the previous section, VPLs are almost always employed in programming education for young children. It is especially true in Japan. To the best of our knowledge, VPLs such as Scratch, Viscuit, and Squeak eToy are used in most of the reports about Japanese programming education for young children. One reason for this could be the peoples’ belief that typing English words required in TPLs was too difficult for the children because they did not learn English in primary schools. However, it is not that clear if typing English words are too difficult for Japanese primary schoolchildren. More Info

 
 
Duncan, Bell, and Tanimoto  suggested that TPLs could be used in the programming education for students aged between 8 and 14. Also, some papers suggest that programming languages should be switched from VPLs to TPLs at some stages of advancement because most professional programmers use TPLs . Booth and Stumph  suggested that task type mattered in learners’ self-efficacy rating, and TPLs would be better for writing programs from scratch.  Click Here
