Why is Python considered the preferred programming language for children? This question is certainly intriguing. The answer is multifaceted, and below, Qingfeng Website will provide a detailed explanation.
First:Python is very popular.
In today’s era, Python is the preferred programming language for artificial intelligence, which has become the darling of the times. Naturally, Python has garnered more attention. Currently, children’s programming institutions have adopted Python as the primary training language for children’s programming.
Second:Python has a low entry barrier.
The syntax structure of Python is close to natural language. For example, using “print()” instead of complex output commands allows children to write their first program that greets within 10 minutes. This WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality can effectively enhance children’s interest in learning. Research shows that children aged 8-12 learning Python have 47% higher logical thinking abilities compared to traditional language learners. Thus, there is a solid basis for choosing Python as the preferred programming language for children.
Third: Cultivating children’s ability to solve problems independently.
Python possesses interdisciplinary characteristics. When children use the turtle library to create programs that draw geometric shapes, they can simultaneously understand mathematical coordinates; not only do they learn programming, but their understanding of numbers and visual memory also significantly improves. When developing small games with PyGame, they need to fully grasp the laws of physical motion, allowing them to see physical phenomena more intuitively. Data indicates that students who learn Python for 12 months improve their problem-solving abilities in science by 33%. This interdisciplinary integration of programming learning has led more parents to pay attention to this educational model.
Fourth: Enhancing children’s logical thinking abilities.
When one persists in learning a programming language, the brain is constantly engaged in thinking, including understanding and practicing various algorithms. The brain continually deepens multiple ways of thinking and learns to identify its own cognitive biases and gaps.
Learning a programming language requires persistence and determination; without these, it cannot be accomplished. A certain level of intelligence is also necessary. The improvement in children’s logical abilities through learning Python is evident. Some parents do not aim for their children to achieve great accomplishments through Python but rather to develop their intelligence, as intelligence is inherently theirs.
