Logo Programming and Geometric Understanding: An In-Depth Study.
Olive, John
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v22 n2 p90-111 Mar 1991
The LOGO programing of 30 ninth graders was analyzed from 3 theoretical perspectives: the van Hiele levels, the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes taxonomy, and Skemp's model of mathematical understanding. Results indicate that success in LOGO programing appears necessary but insufficient for success with the geometric aspects of the analyzed tasks. (JJK)
