Abstract
This study explores the potential application of program complexity as a tool for assessing children’s logical thinking abilities within the context of programming education. We conducted a programming workshop for children and assessed their logical thinking capabilities. The correlation between their test results and the complexity of the programs they developed during the workshop was examined. Results suggest that program complexity is a viable indicator for assessing logical thinking skills in children.
