Alg-Design: facilitates to learn Algorithmic thinking for beginners

摘要

Algorithmic thinking is one of the main key concepts in computational thinking. With using computers in close to all areas of our lives, the progress of algorithmic solutions to problems is very crucial. The comprehension of the character of problems and their algorithmic solutions is enormously most important for everyone. Algorithmic thinking is the capability to realize, execute, assessment, and create computational procedures for solving problems. This paper presents Alg-Design, a visual and block based programming environment to facilitate novices to improve the comprehension of Algorithmic thinking using programming and computing. The visual programming environment motivates students and they find enjoyable while creating personally meaningful projects.
