Problem solving based on the learning of programming is a very important part in understanding the information technologies.The question which language (together with environment) should be used in introductory programming has been discussed for many years. Several studies on the benefits of a certain language or comparisons between two languages have been conducted, but there is still a lack of systematic overviews of teaching and learning programming.The paper discusses the features of programming teaching, the most important research trends in programming education over the world, identifies the problems and their solutions. Based on literature review and multiyear experience in the Young Programmers’ School, the paper deals with programming teaching difficulties, especially with the selection of programming languages, learning and teaching methods, developing students’ skills and attitudes, psychological motivation. Investigations show that the first language syntax has a significant impact on the further learning and develops a certain mindset.The paper discusses a list of criteria based on an analyzis of research works all over the world. The criteria are used to compare some programming languages used at introductory programming courses. It focuses on the programming language suitable to start learning programming. Based on fundamental research works in thes area, the related criteria are organized, the key ideas are identified and summarized.The commonly accepted cognitive skills, Bloom’s taxonomy as well as the SOLO taxonomy and their application in teaching programming are discussed.span

Perspectives for new framework of teaching – learning foreign language with Moodle

Rapid advances in technology and computer aided teaching have offered new opportunities and opened new horizons for teaching and learning. In 2012 the distance learning programme of Fundamentals of Business English for extramural students was launched at Aleksandras Stulginskis University. Moodle-based e-Learning environment, an innovative way of teaching/learning in a tertiary education system enforced the application of new tools, new methodologies, approaches and framework to promote active foreign language teaching and learning. However, a technology itself does not promote learning or teaching; its effectiveness depends on the teachers’ and learners’ active participation and involvement. Implementing innovative tools of teaching/learning has called for a very close communication between the teacher and learner. Accordingly, the research on student feedback based upon the questionnaire has been undertaken to investigate the students approach to the Moodle-based e-learning and the impact technology has on the student attitudes towards learning foreign language through the computer.The article focuses on practical approach for the improvement of foreign language course design, outlines the advantages and disadvantages of Moodle assignments, activities and resourcesVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŽemės ūkio akademij
