Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, programming materials were developed to facilitate continuity from primary to secondary school and on to upper secondary school using an educational one-board computer (micro:bit). As much as possible, teaching materials were developed for each topic and adapted to the respective school type. In programming education, there are often differences in progress within the same class, but by preparing teaching materials at multiple levels, learners can progress according to their own level. In the future, we hope to develop individually optimized teaching materials for programming education using generative AI.
