This study was conducted to test the claim that Logo may enhance student problem solving and thinking skills. Of 171 junior high students who requested a Logo enrichment class, 113 were randomly assigned to Logo classes, fifty-eight remained controls. After nine weeks of daily instruction, the Logo treatment group scored significantly higher than the control group on the New Jersey Test of Reasoning Skills. However, a significant interaction between treatment and gender revealed no significant difference by treatment in the performance of female students. The study offers modest support for the efficacy of Logo in developing reasoning skills among seventh and eighth graders, but the benefit appears to accure mostly to males. Results do not differentiate the respective contributions of Logo and maturation.

The Impact

In this work, we studied the influence of different programming approaches on the development of students’ computational thinking (CT) skills, the programming experience and gender differences in CT development were also discussed. A total of 158 junior high school students and one teacher participated in the study over 5 months. The sample students were divided into four experimental groups in four single or combined programming approaches (i.e., plugged-in, unplugged, unplugged first, and plugged-in first) and one control group without programming. Data sources included the results of four CT tests, as well as interviews with the teacher and surveys with 24 representative participants. The results showed that the four programming approaches can effectively improve students’ CT skills and can be retained after two months. Among them, the form of implementing unplugged activities before plugged-in can most effectively improve CT skills, and can better weaken the impact of previous programming experience. Finally, the qualitative analysis results provided insights into the process of programming and CT education. These findings will provide implications for the introduction of CT in junior high school, and help expand students’ participation in computing.
