Abstract

This paper suggested a way of using LOGO programming, the educational programming language elementary school students can easily learn, and fractal geometric theory for computer education in elementary school in accordance with the theme of creativity, the educational goal of elementary school curriculum. Future curriculum of computer education will include the areas of algorithm and programming. As using an educational programming language is an integral part of algorithm and programming education, research should be carried out urgently regarding the use of programming languages. When LOGO programming is taught with fractal geometric theory, students can easily understand mathematical notions e.g., regularity, repetition, similarity and resemblance. Therefore, it is expected that students will be able to learn LOGO programming more effectively when it is taught in connection with what should be taught in math curriculum such as figures, measurement, regularity and problem solving.

This paper is extended from a conference paper presented at the journal of Korean Institute of Information Technology (Vol.9, No.8). The author is deeply grateful to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable suggestions and comments on the first version of this paper.
