Leveraging Visual Rhetoric in Python Programming: Enhancing Technical Communication Through Pedagogical Strategies and Design Principles

This study examined how the principles of visual rhetoric are incorporated into Python programming. It analyzes the effects of visual elements, such as syntax highlighting, indentation, and comments, on readability and comprehension of code. The findings suggest pedagogical strategies for TPC instructors to emphasize visual rhetoric principles when teaching Python programming, with the aim of improving the interaction between humans and computers.
