“…Uno de los elementos clave en la introducción a la programación es el lenguaje escogido; siendo los otros elementos: el currículo, la pedagogía y las herramientas empleadas en el proceso de enseñanza+aprendizaje (Pears, et al, 2007). La selección del lenguaje de programación se ha estudiado únicamente en 22 estudios primarios que van desde los años cincuenta hasta 2012 (Stefik, et al, 2015).…”

Con la reciente introducción de la Programación en el currículo preuniversitario, se abre una oportunidad para incluir conceptos fundamentales de las Ciencias de la Computación. Este artículo presenta el origen y evolución de Python, las principales características que lo configuran como un lenguaje idóneo, así como una revisión y clasificación de herramientas educativas disponibles en su ecosistema. Dichas herramientas abarcan un amplio y variado abanico de recursos; desde libros interactivos hasta librerías que facilitan la creación de elaborados artefactos software por parte de los alumnos. En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta multidisciplinar para utilizar el lenguaje de programación Python en todos los niveles de Secundaria.

“…A survey and taxonomy of languages and environments used to make programming easier to learn for novice programmers is presented in [53]. Another good survey and classification of different programming languages used in introductory programming courses is given in [54]. A very recent brief history of learning to program is given in [55].…”

In this age of growing importance for interdisciplinary studies, the field of computing, and its indispensable component, programming, have become increasingly important not only for STEM areas but also for many other fields. Computational chemistry, bio-informatics, computational linguistics, computational toxicology, etc. are just a few examples of the crossover disciplines that benefit significantly from the developments in the computing and Information Technology (IT). Instructors are facing more challenges today than ever in trying to come up with new, fresh and appealing methodologies to attract and retain students in delivering computing and IT related topics to a much broader audience. Computing courses and topics both for majors and non-majors need new approaches that motivate students to feel comfortable with the life-long learning of computing concepts and tools. The goal of this paper is to summarize our teaching experience in and the great potential of App Inventor for Android (AIA) in broadening the appeal and diffusion of fundamental computing and programming concepts. With a pedagogical foundation stemming from constructionist learning and contextualized computing education, we present our motivation and the details of courses that can greatly benefit from AIA.

SUMMARY Studies have shown that program visualization(PV) is effective for student programming exercise or self-study support. However, very few instructors actively use PV tools for programming lectures. This article discussed the impediments the instructors meet during combining PV tools into lecture classrooms and proposed a C programming classroom instruction support tool based on program visualization -PROVIT-CI (PROgram VIsualization Tool for Classroom Instruction). PROVIT-CI has been consecutively and actively used by the instructors in author's university to enhance their lectures since 2015. The evaluation of application results in an introductory C programming course shows that PROVIT-CI is effective and helpful for instructors classroom use.
