Learning a programming language

Today, it is believed that it is difficult to learn a programming language because it requires a completely different way of thinking from what students are accustomed to and need a lot of work and time to start thinking in this way. Each method for learning a programming language aims to improve the quality of learning, which is confirmed by a large number of successful students. This paper presents the influence of factors such as motivation, emotion and pre-knowledge of students on the choice of method, which is maximally adapted to the age, abilities and preferences of students. Adequate selection of the method is done by using the tests for checking the given factors to the students’ data, which are later used to select the most favorable method for learning a programming language
