Misconceptions and Errors in LOGO: The Role of Instruction.
Lehrer, Richard; Littlefield, Joan
Journal of Educational Psychology, v83 n1 p124-33 Mar 1991
Whether software-based mediated instruction reduces the incidence of misconceptions and errors by children learning the LOGO computer language was studied with 24 fourth and 46 second graders. Mediated instruction reduced errors and misconceptions compared to those detected in prior studies. The roles of working memory and true misunderstandings are discussed. (SLD)
