The 1/3 of college students that have great difficulty with learning the fundamentals of programming can certainly learn it -- but it won't come naturally, and it will need to be slower and more personalized than how it is currently being taught. Differentiated instruction is the appropriate educational buzzword.
- bprater 18y agoI think personalization is the key, too. Why are we teaching programming with a human? At what point are we finally going to have machines that can work 1-on-1 with humans, at their pace, until they grok concepts. Some people learn more quickly, some don't. Let's not punish one group or the other. Let's teach interactively, but not with humans!
