<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">This study compared the effects of programming and innovation on cognitive abilities and whether the effects varied with working memory span (high vs. low). Sixty-seven children in 5th grade in one elementary school in Iceland were randomly assigned to two groups, involving seven weeks of interventions; programming lessons and innovation lessons. Three cognitive ability tests, WISC-IV part 2, WISC-IV part 7 and Ravens, were administered before and after intervention. A working memory test, OSPAN, was used to measure children’s working memory span. Mixed design ANOVA revealed that after innovation lessons children improved significantly from pre-test to post-test on WISC-IV part 2. Change in children’s performance on WISC-IV part 7 depended on working memory span. Children with low working memory span performed significantly higher on WISC part 7 post-test after innovation lessons while children with high working memory span scored significantly higher on WISC part 7 post-test after programming lessons. These results indicate that working memory span is a factor in the relationship between programming and increased cognitive ability.</dim:field>
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="is">Þessi rannsókn bar saman áhrif forritunarkennslu og nýsköpunarkennslu á vitræna getu. Þessi áhrif voru skoðuð með tilliti til vinnsluminnisspannar. Sextíu og sjö börnum í fimmta bekk í einum grunnskóla á Íslandi var skipt tilviljunarkennt í tvo hópa, sem fólu í sér sjö vikna íhlutun; forritunarkennslu og nýsköpunarkennslu. Þrjú hugræn próf, WISC-IV hluti 2, WISC-IV hluti 7 og Ravens voru lögð fyrir bæði fyrir og eftir íhlutun. Vinnsluminnispróf var notað til að meta vinnsluminnisspönn barnanna. Niðurstöður blandaðrar dreifigreiningar leiddu í ljós að eftir nýsköpunarkennslu var frammistaða barna á eftirmælingu á WISC-IV hluta 2 marktækt hærri en á grunnmælingu. Breytingar á frammistöðu barna á WISC-IV hluta 7 fór eftir vinnsluminnisspönn þeirra. Börn með lága vinnsluminnisspönn stóðu sig marktækt betur á WISC-IV hluta 7 eftirmælingu eftir nýsköpunarkennslu meðan börn með háa vinnsluminnisspönn stóðu sig marktækt betur á WISC-IV hluta 7 eftirmælingu eftir forritunarkennslu. Þessar niðurstöður benda til þess að vinnsluminnisspönn sé þáttur í sambandinu milli forritunar og aukinnar hugrænnar getu. </dim:field>
