LEARNING CODING IN STUDENTS’ LIFE

Abstract

Coding is the process of human interaction with computer, which deals with ideas, solutions, and instructions into a language that the computer can understand. This article focuses on the in-depth study of coding, coding tools, the design of the coding curriculum, the online method of teaching and learning coding, and its impact on student’s life. An empirical study was performed on teaching and learning visual tools, like scratch, code.org, repl.it, thunkable, and python to code through a one-on-one approach. A case study was used as a method in this research. This study was performed through Codingal company on teaching and learning middle school students from various countries through an online mode. Qualitative and quantitative tools were used to collect and analyze data. The study was found that the learning coding on a one-on-one approach creates instant gratification in students and helps them to enhance core competencies like logic development, critical thinking, design thinking, creativity, algorithm, abstraction, real-world application, communication, and collaboration on students throughout their coding journey.
