Abstract

This study suggests the effective learning programming method using the Wiki Community Systems. In an e-Learning setting, it is hard to expect the growing learners' ability of thinking and collaboration when programming learning focuses on learning content. The Wiki Community systems we suggested, which are community-centered, however, can foster learners' ability of algorithm thinking through processing of sharing ideas and collaborating on a work with learners. We applied learning programming method using the Wiki Community systems to the fourth-grade elementary students. As a result, learners could share their ideas about solving problems and collaborate on the entire processes of learning. Furthermore, this system makes learners' knowledge for algorism to be more elaborate during learners are finding out the optimum algorithm and improve learners' thinking power.
