Learnable Programming: Blocks and Beyond.

The article discusses the use of blocks-based programming as a form of learnable programming. Topics include the role of blocks-based programming in chunking computational patterns and reducing the cognitive load of learners, the use of abstractions to make coding more learnable, and the possibility...

Sumario:The article discusses the use of blocks-based programming as a form of learnable programming. Topics include the role of blocks-based programming in chunking computational patterns and reducing the cognitive load of learners, the use of abstractions to make coding more learnable, and the possibility of combining text-based and blocks-based programming for greater efficiency.
