Some cases it is facilitated by features that help to enter text code, and in other cases by block-based programming that replaces conventional text-based coding. In my article, by comparing and evaluating the two possible types of coding, I prove that it is easier for beginners to learn block-based programming, but advanced programming requires transition to text-based coding. This will also be confirmed by three interviews with IT teachers. Then, I will point out that transition is possible within the same programming area and I will refer to my interviewees’ experiences with the transition.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Central-European Journal of New Technologies in Research, Education and Practice}, author={Bernát, Péter}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={15–25} }
