Learning programming is of great help to children, which can be summarized as the following 10:

(1) Strengthen children's logical thinking ability.

The most important thing in programming is how to divide big problems into small ones.

In programming, children should think about how to arrange the code reasonably in the whole program so that the program can handle input, calculation and output smoothly. This process is very helpful for children to analyze the logic of things.

(2) Cultivate children's concentration and carefulness.

In the process of programming, debugging cannot be perfunctory. This process can effectively correct children's sloppy behavior and avoid becoming "Mr. Almost".

(3) Improve children's patience.

The great difference between writing games and playing games is that writing games can exercise children's ability to delay satisfaction and improve their patience. It takes a long process from writing games to playing games. At the same time, children who learn to write games will pay more attention to the game process, and the game perspective will change obviously.

(4) increase children's abstract thinking ability.

Learning a program means communicating with a computer. This means that children need a kind of ability to turn concrete into abstract in the process of learning, and let the program run in the way that children imagine. This is a process of brainstorming. Let children exert their unlimited imagination and practical ability, and let computers that don't know how to think understand and express abstract things.

(5) Improve children's ability to organize and master information.

A program is a combination of computer instructions. The basic instructions in a program are like Chinese characters, and writing reusable methods or objects is like idioms. In order to complete the project, we must apply what we have learned to ensure that there will be no unexpected mistakes in the execution of the program.

(6) Improve children's international communication ability and competitiveness.

Programming language has become an important communication tool. It can communicate not only with computers, but also with all people who use computers, which will be their core competence in the face of international and future competition.

(7) Let children learn to work as a team and learn together.

Under the appropriate teaching curriculum design, learning to write programs is like playing games to break through barriers, and students discuss strategies to break through barriers with each other. Pair programming, you can't, I'll teach you; I'll go over and you help; I design, you break through. At the same time, enhance friendship in interaction and learn how to use the strength of the team to solve problems. Compared with the teacher's unilateral lecture on the podium, the discussion between students is easier to improve the learning efficiency.

(8) Train children's spatial thinking ability.

Controlling the process of game characters in programming is a great way to train spatial thinking ability. It seems that the children themselves are trapped in the maze in the ups and downs, breaking through obstacles in the role in the programming world, learning in the game, and understanding the sense of direction and three-dimensional space structure.

(9) Improve children's ability to solve problems.

Faced with the challenge of the checkpoint, children will constantly think about how to use the knowledge and procedures they have learned to achieve the goal of breakthrough. Once you get into this habit, you will naturally find ways to solve problems in your life or other studies. Parents only need to give appropriate tools and tips to let their children do it themselves and use their brains.

Learn to code. Coding is for learning.

Learning programming and training the thinking mode of programming, parents no longer have to force their children to learn mathematics, because when they want to complete buttons, characters, scores and directions, they must use many mathematical skills to let their children learn independently while programming. In addition, it can also improve children's English ability, and programming makes contact with English a natural thing. Other subjects (such as music, art, literature, etc.). ) can also be used in the process of programming, which is what we call code learning.
