As pedagogy, I would consider it the re-application of Constructivist principles to the learning of Programming Languages and teaching of Computer Science in the age of the Internet. The Psychology Of Computer Programming – Gerald Weinberg THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA Blurring the Lines Between Entertainment and Persuasion – L. In every job there are psychological impacts. The above explains why Gerald Weinberg, in The Psychology of Computer Programming (written in the 1970s, and still applicable), states that if a programmer becomes indispensable, you should fire him immediately. Programming is kind of a job that leaves huge impressions because it is complex mixture of logic and maths. Computer Science is a discipline. Reduction of computer fears was examined by comparing changes in computer attitudes over a semester among two introductory computer programming classes and one introductory psychology class (N=50). Unfortunately, geek psychology doesn't often lead to this kind of design process. Our standards, in other words, are shifting ones---a fact that has to be taken into full consideration in programming language design. From this, arose the idea of teaching Concepts of programming languages first. Computational thinking influences fields such as biology, chemistry, linguistics, psychology, economics and statistics. In 1971, Gerald Weinberg published his (now classic) book, The Psychology of Computer Programming.
