This paper seeks to present a training scenario for learning programming and acquiring the algorithmic way of thinking. The scenario is implemented using the "Robot Virtual World" software, which provides the possibility, through a user-friendly environment, that both robot and virtual robots are programmed. By programming virtual robots the software provides some challenges that are to be accomplished by fulfilling a specific goal for each challenge. For example, moving the robot forward or rotating the robot and others, starting with simple and easy programs, continuing into more complex problems with rich graphical representation.
The aim of the paper is to assess whether this approach can help in learning the basic programming concepts and is addressed to high school students. Estimation rubrics, which the trainees filled out at the end of the process, were used to derive the results. The results showed that the above method helped the learners to understand the basic concepts of programming very quickly and easily, develop their own programs, and showed the ability to understand and correct any bugs in their programs through direct interaction of the trainee with the virtual robot.
