      I would go further to say that all children at beginning of secondary school should be taught code- python or a.n.other

      Sorry if I misunderstood-very important issue. I’m worried that we’re not just failing psychology students but that we’re not equipping children generally for future jobs.

      100% agreed! It is heartening to read about the fact that a few countries agree w us. See: "The sooner we start teaching kids to code, the better. I think everybody should be taught to code in primary school and thankfully so do quite a few countries."http://neuroplausible.com/programming

      I followed the scratch link. I think scratch useful as easy to teach but then there is nothing afterwards. There are fabulous courses - like @funtechsummer who do weekly classes but are expensive. Needs to be for everyone.

      Maybe the online virtual class model is good for secondary school and undergrad?

      I don't know. I'm not convinced virtual classes work without a LOT of work — maybe more work than a brick-and-mortar classroom. So it's tricky.

          Children log on at same time every week and have same children in class and same teacher. Probably requires motivated students as no one physically there to keep order!

          I think, based on what I heard about the OU, that it is very tricky and motivating them is the educators job. They seem to really get it right though.https://twitter.com/morungos/status/1066400681928638466 …

          We @OpenUniversity used to teach cognitive modelling in three days at a summer school. Developed custom coding languages to help make it intuitive. It’s very doable.

          Solution? - need to offer after school virtual coding clubs in secondary school then all will arrive at uni with the basics already 😉

          The thing is I don't even know if it matters if they know the basics. The biggest problem at undergrad isn't the disparity of knowledge but the fear/male geek trope/internalised misogyny going on. Stop gendering subjects and things might work out well.

          I agree. Even women in tech fields who have excelled at traditionally male subject areas still feel fear.

          Not sure that is their fault though, but yes, I try not to ever say that about myself.
