We have proposed a new method of advancing from CS Unplugged through the new process of CS Plugged to fullfledged computer programming languages, as a means of deepening understanding in computer programming education.We also have proposed a new Five-Step Method consisting of the following steps: Step 1, A CS Unplugged activity; Step 2, A CS Plugged activity; Step 3, A trace table, Step 4, Preparing pseudocode; and Step 5, Writing Java source code.
