Vasu, Ellen Storey; Tyler, Doris Kennedy
Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, v8 n4 p345-63 1997
Examined the effects of using Logo or problem-solving oriented simulation software on the spatial and critical thinking skills of fifth graders. Found that the Logo group had a significant pretest-posttest change in spatial scores, and the Simulation group had a significant pretest-posttest change in critical thinking scores. No significant change was found for the comparison group. (Author)
