What PRIMM Is in Programming Education
FutureLearn Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
PRIMM is a teaching framework that helps learners move from reading code to writing code. It has five stages: Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify, and Make. The excerpt says it was introduced by Sue Sentance in 2017 and later studied with results showing better understanding than traditional learning methods.
INSIGHTS
For beginners, PRIMM is useful because it breaks coding into smaller steps instead of jumping straight to writing programs. Try using it with a simple code sample: predict what it does, run it, then change one part and observe the result.
