Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to construct a database to support systematic practice of programming education. First, we extracted and analyzed the characteristics and elements of computational thinking (CT) related to "programming thinking". As a result, we were able to collectively show in a model diagram that there are two types of CT, one related to "thinking" and the other to "doing," and that there are three major stages in which CT is exercised. In addition, a database "Gather! Teaching Resources for Programing Education" is available at https://terep.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/.
