Teaching Basic Programing C# - Improve Student’s Study Result Using Rewriting Syntax by Hands
Hello Steemians around the world, how are you today ? I wish you all always happy and keep intouch in spirit sharing eachother. Today, I gonna share to you about a approachment in teaching, precisely in C # programming material and I associate it to excess write or rewrite syntax by hand not just type syntax using keyboard. Writing something by hand is different typing using keyboard in order study result..
One of the most effective ways to learn and store new information is to rewrite what we have written or what we already know. The reason is that when we write something on paper, a part of the brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) gets aroused. RAS serves as a filter for everything that the brain processes, making what is focused on when it is thought to be important by the brain. Writing by hand can be a sport for the brain. Handwriting activities involving motor skills and memory are good cognitive exercises. The Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience in 2008 found that adults have an easier time recognizing new characters such as Chinese characters, Arabic letters, Hindi letters and other syntax), mathematical symbols, or hand-written notation of music rather than computer-written. This is the background for me to apply the program script rewriting by hand to my students. I want my students to be proficient in writing programming script syntax in C # programming, automatically without thinking..
In general for 10th grade vocational high school students, course learning programming is new for them. This is a challenge for teachers to find ways or solutions to improve student’s study result. On this good occasion, I would like to share with you a simple, effective approach to apply to students, the hand-written script approach. Script programs that have been successfully tested together are rewritten by hand by the students, this is to stimulate the memory of students in remembering the script or syntax..
I have applied this approach for 2 months. The subjects that I envisioned in school are Digital Simulation, in which there is the Basic Programming material, I chose to teach C # programming for students because it is simple and effective to foster "computational thinking" and "algorithm" to students. Rewrite the syntax of this pemogrman script I applied to the last 30 minutes of learning, after 8 weeks of my evaluation, the results are amazing, 80% of my students are able to type C # programming syntax within 3 minutes. I feel very happy because my students are able to understand the basic syntax and application of algorithms in C # programming, although it is still at the basic stage of making the sum program of two numbers. For the future, I will apply this approach to other programming materials..
I apply this method of rewriting the C # programming script syntax to basic programming and algorithm materials. The title of the program is the program to add two numbers and calculate the area of the rectangle, as shown below :

As fellow teacher I can relate the desire to improve students results. At the same I'm struggling to not feel sorry for students for whom programming becomes just syntax remembering.
I remember, in my school I've been taught programming using interactive games which was fun and engaging and students actually remembered a lot of things without much extra effort.
Thanks so much @tpaktop to coming and giving comment to me, really appreciate it. Could you share to me about that game ? I wanna apply to my students.
