One consequence of the fact that programming refers to a configuration of activities is that different combinations of activities may be involved in any specific programming project. These activities include, at a general level. problem definition, design development and organization, code writing. and debugging (Pea & Kurland, 1983). Different combinations of activities will entail different cognitive demands. For example, a large memory span may facilitate the mental simulations required in designing and comprehending programs. Or an;dogical reasoning skill may he important for recognizing the similarity of different programming tasks and for transferring programming methods or procedures from one context to another. An adequate assessment of the cognitive demands of programming will depend on analyses of the programming activity and examination of the demands of different component processes. In assessing the cognitive demands of programming, specifying the intended level of expertise is essential. Different levels of expertise will entail different cognitive demands. In many Logo programming classrooms , we have observed children engaging in what we term brute-force paragruph programming, or what Rampy (1984) has termed product-oriented programming. This style is analogous to so-called spaghetti programming in BASIC. When programming, students decide on desired screen effects and then write linear programs, lining up commands that will cause the screen to show what they want in the order they want it lo happen. Students do not engage in problem decomposition or use the powerful features of the language to structure a solution to the programming problem. For example, if a similar shape is required several times in a program, students will write new code each time the effect is required, rather than writing one general procedure and calling on it repeatedly. Programs thus consist of long strings of Logo primitives that are nei~rly impossible to read, modify, or debug, even for the students who have written them. Although students may eventually achieve their goal, or at least end up with a graphics display with which they are content, the only \"demands\" we can imagine for such a linear approach to programming are stamina and determination. Thus, as a first step in determining what the cognitive demands are for learning …","PeriodicalId":186443,"journal":{"name":"Thinking: The Second International Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131038966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
