Cohen, Eli – Technological Horizons in Education, 1984
Reports on the use of a new version of the BASIC programing language to teach computer operation in both undergraduate and graduate curricula. Concludes that although it may not be the perfect teaching version, it appears to be much better than any other alternative. (JN)

Horton, Graeme – Computer Education, 1983
With the production of SBAS, a combination of language and machine allowing for a disciplined and error-free approach to teaching programming is available. Instructional strategies for use with SBAS and basic concepts (decisions, repetitions/iterations, actions/processes) are discussed. Sample flow charts and program listings are provided. (JN)

Wold, Allen – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Explains what a computer programing language is in general, the differences between machine language, assembler languages, and high-level languages, and the functions of compilers and interpreters. High-level languages mentioned in the article are: BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, PILOT, LOGO, LISP, and SMALLTALK. (EAO)

Hardy, R. Reed; Elfner, Eliot S. – Creative Computing, 1982
PILOT is the generic name of a programing language suited for authoring/executing CAI educational programing. The strengths/weaknesses of TRS-80 MicroPilot (formerly Pilot Plus) and differences between Micropilot and Basic and CAI courseware authoring languages are discussed. Major strength is efficiency for educational/interactive programing with…

Weyer, S. A.; Cannara, A. B. – 1975
An experiment was conducted to study how children, aged 10-15 years, learn concepts relevant to computer programing and how they learn modern programing languages. The implicit educational goal was to teach thinking strategies through the medium of programing concepts and their applications. The computer languages Simper and Logo were chosen…

Schwar, James P.; Best, Charles L. – CoED, 1984
Expands on a previous discussion of FORTRAN 77 by describing one of its more powerful innovations--the block IF as the basic implementation for the control structures used in writing structured code. Also shows use of DO-loop as a natural substitute for the black IF in implementing control structures. (JN)

Wold, Allen L. – Classroom Computer News, 1983
The nature of programing languages is discussed, focusing on machine/assembly language and high-level languages. The latter includes systems (such as "Basic") in which an entire set of low-level instructions (in assembly/machine language) are combined. Also discusses the nature of other languages such as "Lisp" and list-processing languages. (JN)

McKelvey, James – Classroom Computer Learning, 1986
Discusses the elements of programming style, considering capitalization, variables, constants, format, GOTO statements, user friendliness, and clarity. Although Pascal is used as the example, the information provided is applicable to any programming language. (JN)

Papert, Seymour – Classroom Computer Learning, 1986
Describes features and uses of LogoWriter, a revised and expanded version of Logo. With LogoWriter, a student can not only command the turtle to draw pictures but also (because of a built-in word processor) can add text to the screen. (JN)

Lopez, Antonio M., Jr. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Provides background material on logic programing and presents PROLOG as a high-level artificial intelligence programing language that borrows its basic constructs from logic. Suggests the language is one which will help the educator to achieve various goals, particularly the promotion of problem solving ability. (MVL)

Green, John O. – Classroom Computer Learning, 1985
Once touted as the wonder programming language of the classroom, Logo is now a hotbed of controversy. Various issues related to the controversy are examined in an interview with Seymuor Papert, coauthor of the language. (JN)

Classroom Computer Learning, 1986
Presents computer-oriented activities which (although requiring a certain level of computer expertise) can be easily adapted for students in any grade. They include creating Pascal limericks, a day of the week calculation worksheet, two LOGO activities (including one used to introduce the building block approach to LOGO programming). (JN)
