Abstract

Programming education is essential for the development of logical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, beginners often choose dynamically typed languages, such as JavaScript, due to the lower initial effort required. This paper aims to analyze how TypeScript, a statically typed extension of JavaScript, can facilitate the programming learning process. The study adopts a qualitative approach, based on literature review and a questionnaire applied to students of the Analysis and Systems Development program at the Federal Institute of Piauí – Piripiri Campus. The results show that TypeScript’s static typing promotes better code organization and clarity, contributing to early error detection and the development of good programming practices from the beginning.
