Abstract: The introduction of computational thinking into primary/secondary or K-12 education has been widely attempted. In Japan, programming education will be introduced into elementary school in 2020. The role of parents in primary education is highly important. Especially at the time of initial introduction of programming education, it is seemed that parent-child collaboration has considerable influence on children’s attitudes. This paper provides the results of a preliminary investigation into children’s perception of participation in programming workshop with their parents. Some useful suggestion for programming workshops for children and parents were gained from the questionnaire.
