The role of the art of programming IT education

Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue

Abstract

There is a longstanding debate whether computer science education is art or craft. There is no doubt that computer graphics and website design, apart from technical skills, require some degree of invention and creativity, some artistic sense. Maybe the same concerns skills related to algorithmic thinking and programming, which are very important in view of changes in the syllabus of IT teaching that are being introduced. Today, programming provides a possibility to reveal unconventional ideas, original thinking and unconventional solutions due to the wealth of tools and, above all, students’ inventiveness. Thus, it may be treated as art, contrary to the widespread belief that coding involves pure craft.
