摘要

基于块的编程环境作为向儿童教授编程的入门工具正变得越来越流行。这些环境与基于文本的环境有很大的不同，并且已被证明在激励儿童和使其易于开始编程方面是成功的。然而，一些研究已经认识到这些工具的缺点，当学生过渡到基于文本的语言时，这些工具可能会有害。本文讨论了基于块的环境和基于文本的语言之间的区别特征，并解释了这些特征的有效性。在考虑到向基于文本的语言的过渡时，本文指出了基于块的编程的两个重大弱点，并讨论了改进建议。

Transitioning from Block-Based to Text-Based Programming Languages

Block-based programming environments are becoming increasingly popular as introductory tools for teaching programming to children. These environments differ significantly from their text-based counterparts and have proven to be successful in motivating children and making it easy to start programming. However, several studies have recognised drawbacks of these tools which could potentially be detrimental when students transition to text-based languages. In this paper, the distinguishing features between block-based environments and text-based languages are discussed and the effectiveness of these features are explained. In considering the transition to text-based languages, this paper identifies two significant weaknesses to block-based programming and discusses suggestions for improvement.
