With the rapid development of information technology, the era of artificial intelligence has quietly arrived. People’s lives have undergone earth-shattering changes: Fingerprint recognition and face recognition on mobile phones, smart homes, driverless cars, unmanned supermarkets, etc. have emerged around us. All these indicate that artificial intelligence is a trend and is gradually integrating into our lives. Computers, big data, the Internet of Things… These words have become popular terms in today’s society and will surely achieve better development in the future. Therefore, exposure and understanding of computer programming thinking and computer skills should be essential for every child now. Allowing children to be exposed to programming thinking at an appropriate age is naturally what is called "winning at the starting line" in this era. So, what benefits can children obtain from learning robot programming education?
First, cultivate children’s practical ability. Strengthening the cultivation of practical ability is an important method to develop children’s intelligence. Robot programming learning is a process that is completely built, programmed, debugged, operated, and run by oneself. The cultivation of children’s practical ability through this method is more effective, rich, and interesting than other educational methods. It is deeply loved by children and is one of the best ways to cultivate children’s practical ability.
Second, strengthen the exercise of logical thinking. Robots achieve the designer’s requirements through a complete set of rigorous procedures. Therefore, only through careful and thorough thinking and writing a suitable set of execution procedures can one achieve their own assumptions and make the robot act according to one’s will. This logical thinking ability is very important for children’s intellectual development and is one of the most important abilities cultivated in robot programming education.
Third, have the courage to try and make mistakes. Traditional education, to a large extent, does not encourage children to try and make mistakes because the cost of making mistakes is high, which easily leads to children’s psychological fragility and an inability to correctly face and handle setbacks. In the programming world, making mistakes is the norm. It can be said that programming is a process of constantly trying and making mistakes, constantly correcting, and finally making the program run according to one’s own assumptions. In this way, children’s hearts become stronger imperceptibly. They can face setbacks and failures more calmly and constantly try various possibilities to finally solve the problem. During this process, good learning psychological states and habits are cultivated.
Fourth, cultivate children’s innovative thinking. Undoubtedly, during the process of children learning robot programming education, when encountering problems and solving them, even exceeding the conventional methods taught by the teacher, they think about the problems from their unique perspectives, propose novel solutions different from the past, and achieve the desired results. Through continuous practice and accumulation, children’s unique innovative thinking will gradually emerge and thrive.
