Last Friday, I tried out an activity using PC Logo program on Year 1 and Year 2 pupils. The Year 1 pupil from SR PPSDSB Gadong was Salwanadina Binti Johar. She used the program to make shapes. The pupil was not familiar with the program and she told that she never use PC Logo program before. Next is a Year 2 pupil from the same school named Aidil Syakireen Bin Awg Rosman. He was also not familiar with PC Logo. So I started the activity by explaining the usage of the program and gave examples of instructions on how to draw a square.
The Year 1 pupil was be able to follow the exact instruction given on how to draw a square. Then I asked her to draw another bigger square, but she was not able to create her own instruction. She was only able to follow the instruction given but was not able to create a new instruction. So I stopped there and proceed with the next pupil.
The Year 2 pupil was able to follow the exact instruction given which was to draw the same square. Then I asked him to create an instruction to draw a bigger square and he was able to create the instruction. He just doubled the number from fd 50 to fd 100. Then I asked him if he can draw another shape again. He created an instruction to draw a rectangle but he need a little guide. Finally he was able to produce a rectangle using his own instruction. But he was not yet ready and not able to create other instruction to draw other shapes such as triangle or circle.
