In this research, a Textual Programming Language (TPL) is used in programming education for primary schoolchildren because of the following reasons:
 (1) it is more practical to use the programming languages similar to the ones used for developing real applications, 
(2) typing statements could be easier for primary schoolchildren than generally thought, 
(3) there exist programming environments such as Processing that are easy to use and produce very attractive graphical outcomes. Teaching material for programming education with Processing was developed. In this teaching material, cartoons were used to explain difficult concepts. The learners who use this teaching material were supposed to draw some computational figures with chosen colors. Trial experiments of programming education using this teaching material was conducted to a cohort of seven primary schoolchildren (six 4th grade and one 5th grade children) in two consecutive weekend classes (one hour each). Since the authors' aim of this programming education was to create a sense of fun and excitement in the children and inculcate a desire to engage with computing, the motivation of the children was assessed using the questionnaire based on the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) motivation model. The results were encouraging and suggested that TPLs could be used in programming education for primary schoolchildren. Click Here
 

 
 
Though VPLs have such merits over TPLs, they also have some limitations such as not giving advanced students the opportunity to improve their skills, or allowing students to acquire bottom-up development process (selecting commands, and then combining them for desired effect). Though VPLs are widely used in programming education for young children, they are not widely used for professional software development. Therefore, at some stage, students should change the language to TPLs. However, it has not be acknowledged when TPLs should be introduced to the young children. Therefore, in this research, it was investigated if TPLs could be used in the programming education for upper primary schoolchildren. In this research, a TPL is used in programming education for primary schoolchildren because of the following reasons:  
(1) it is more practical to use the programming languages similar to the ones used for developing real applications, 
 (2) typing statements could be easier for primary schoolchildren than generally thought,

Karthi vidhyalaya http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/   This exploratory case study research describes the integration of ICT in the learning of English, mathematics and science in an elementary level future school in Singapore. As technology or computer use and the Internet are very closely linked and at times seem to be synonymous, this case study research explores students’ usage of online software applications that are commonly available online with relatively low or no financial cost (i.e., open-source online software applications). These online software applications are: learning management systems, blogs, emails and chats communication platforms, online educational games, online videos and Internet searches. The numbers of schools are decreasing, and they are being centralized in main towns. The cost of education for rural students is increasing, and the traffic accident increasing too. Most rural students are required to board in school, away from ...

KARTHI VIDHYALAYA http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/   The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model (see Figure 3) is the generic course design process that instructional designers and training developers have traditionally used. The initial steps in this model are to analyze educational needs, profile prospective school participants, and identify available resources. IWSGC course designers concluded that prospective participants should be enthusiastic and ambitious researchers who have recently started or are about to start working on Grid projects. Participants with diverse backgrounds were encouraged to apply. Aiming at a roughly beginner audience scattered across the world, the IWSGC design involved a fully distributed (online) delivery mode A virtual learning environment of some sort is, of course, central to supporting an online distance learning course. Various levels of sophistication can be selected, from a basic o...

Integrating Learning, Gamification, and Social Context in ICSE Education - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

 Integrating  Learning, Gamification, and Social Context in ICSE Education - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School We present an approach in STEM education at the intersection of machine learning, gamification, and social context based in Thailand. We designed an agricultural based AI challenge that fostered students to learn the process of creating machine learning models in the form of a game with the emphasis on the Four P's of Creative Learning (Projects, Passion, Play, and Peers). Our goal is to come up with an innovative education model that encourages the students to connect the emerging technological solutions such as AI with the pressing realworld problems in the playful environment. We found that machine learning can be used as a tool to successfully conduct interdisciplinary education at the middle school level.   The modern framework on constructionism in learning developed by MIT Media Lab is focusing on the intersection of ...
