AbstractProgramming learning is becoming more and more popular among educational institutions, especially in secondary schools. Schools and researchers believe that computational skills are and will be one of essential skills for human beings in the future. Most of researches focus on pedagogical methods and resources of programming learning. However, there is still a gap about learners’ attitude towards it. In order to address this gap, we picked up twelve programming workshops for year 7 and 8, and analyzed how students changed their ideas about programming through workshops. 230 students from different countries were involved in these workshops. In this paper, we discuss about students’ attitudes and opinions about programming learning before and after attending workshops. We use questionnaires as the way to collect data and analyze them to explore their attitude changes. We present the process of attitude changes to explore difficulties of programming learning and places need to be improved.
