Abstract
Today, coding is not a field that belongs only to software developers; it has become a field of interest to many people from different professions. The coding education designed for elementary school level resulting from the changes made in the curriculum has led to teaching analytical thinking to children. Deciding the most suitable software for children among all the options is an important issue. This paper aims to extend the classical Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and look at the spherical fuzzy analytical hierarchy (SF-AHP) method to show its applicability to the problems of coding software program selection for children through a comparative analysis using Pythagorean AHP (PF-AHP). After performing the analysis by using the proposed method, it was found that technological facilities, diversity, cost and environmental conditions were the most critical factors according to SF-AHP and PF-AHP methodologies. According to these criteria, the educational programming platform ‘Tynker’ was determined to be the best alternative using both these methods.
