Project Abstract

Nowadays, digital literacy is becoming as important as reading and writing in the world where our children are growing up. The effect is profound: programming fosters creativity, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. It equips them with a world where computational thinking is commonplace, in addition to prospective careers. The study’s proposal is as follows: This work’s distinctive stance stems from its emphasis on early education and its goal of smoothly incorporating programming into kids’ educational experiences. The primary goal is to examine how teaching youngsters programming affects their critical thinking ability and solving problems.The study question could be, “How does early exposure to programming affect the development of computational thinking in children?” , what extent is it necessary to teach children coding, and what are the methods? Why has teaching changed? How developed? What is the effect of in-home learning or school?Techniques used: The study’s fundamental design may include long-term monitoring and evaluation of kids participating in programming activities. To obtain a thorough knowledge of the impacts of programming instruction on children, the primary approach would be a mixed-methods technique, integrating quantitative data (test scores, skill evaluations) with qualitative observations (interviews, classroom behavior). This method enables a sophisticated understanding of how programming skills evolve and interact with other cognitive capacities.
