The Effects of Programming Instruction in Procedural Programming and Logic Programming Environments on Problem-Solving Ability

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of programming instruction on students' problem-solving abilities, and to explore whether a logic programming or a procedural programming environment results in different degrees of cognitive transfer in terms of procedural, declarative, and conditional thinking skills. In an attempt to identify factors which influence programming learning, this study investigated interaction effects between types of programming instruction and students' aptitude variables, gender and computer anxiety.
