In this paper we investigate students’ outcomes regarding the use of a dual modality programming environment that combines both text mode and block mode in class. The survey targets students of the 3nd grade of Junior High School (Gymnasium) in Greece and attempts to answer research questions regarding their perceptions after a one year course using the programming environment Pencil Code. The analysis of the collected data clearly indicates that the vast majority of students have used both modes during their work. The students find the block mode easier than the text mode but prefer to modify or correct the code using the text mode. We also noticed significant correlations between the mode used and the students’ gender, their school grades and their future course choice. The findings of this study can be useful when redesigning new Informatics curricula for the secondary education.

One of the most difficult problems faced by every teacher, new or experienced, is that of getting a class started at the outset of a term. This problem is even more difficult when one faces a nonacademic group of students with their all-too-frequent hostility toward mathematics. This problem manifests itself especially in the ninth grade, where many students enter the course with a dislike built up by eight years of failure in the elementary and junior high school grades. Before offering some concrete suggestions for handling the situation, it is advisable to examine these youths and determine their basic characteristics and needs.

Since the 1920s the pattern prevailing in the field of primary and secondary education in China has been that of a twelve-year cycle divided into three basic parts—a six-year primary or elementary school followed by a three-year “junior middle” or junior high school and a three-year “senior middle” or senior high. The six-year elementary cycle was further subdivided into four years of junior grades followed by two years of senior grades.
