Learning how to program in Primary Education has attracted significant research in recent years. It is unclear though how programming environments and languages should be adapted to children to achieve better learning and use, but one trend seems to be the use of Scratch. The question in this paper is what programming environment can be used to continue teaching programming to children who have already been taught Scratch for years. This paper's proposal is that students aged between 10 and 12 can benefit from interacting with a friendly learning companion using p-code such as Alcody. The hypothesis is that students (aged between 10 and 12) with a knowledge of Scratch will be able to significantly improve their scores by using a learning companion to teach them how to program even during the COVID-19 pandemic. To check the hypothesis, an experiment was carried out during the 2019/2020 academic year with 137 students in Ecuador. A significant improvement in the scores of the students was recorded together with high satisfaction.
近年来，小学教育阶段的编程学习引发了大量研究。不过，目前尚不清楚编程环境和语言应如何适配儿童，以实现更好的学习和应用，但一个趋势似乎是使用Scratch。本文探讨的问题是，对于那些已经学习了多年Scratch的儿童，应该使用何种编程环境来继续教授他们编程。本文的提议是，10至12岁的学生可以通过与像Alcody这样使用p代码的友好学习伙伴互动而受益。假设是，即使在新冠疫情期间，有Scratch基础（年龄在10至12岁）的学生通过使用学习伙伴来教授他们如何编程，其成绩能够显著提高。为验证这一假设，在2019/2020学年对厄瓜多尔的137名学生进行了一项实验。结果显示，学生成绩有显著提高，且满意度很高。
