Investigation into parents’ impressions of computer programming with comparisons before and after a programming workshop

Abstract

To investigate the effects that experience in computer programming has on parents’ impressions of computer programming, a survey was carried out before and after parent–children workshops. Respondents in this study appeared to be relatively familiar with computers but were not very skilled. The results of the survey showed that respondents’ impressions of computer programming after the workshops were more positive than they were before the workshops. Given that the number of participants in this study was limited, it is necessary to carry out the survey with more participants and perform detailed analysis, in the future.
