Abstract: In the paper, we describe our approach and experience with teaching fundamentals of logic pro-gramming by program schemata construction and expla-nation. Program schemata construction is helped by presentation of a few examples. After a particular pro-gram schema has been introduced, students are required to instantiate the schema both as a writing exercise and afterwards as a programming exercise. We report on our experiments aimed at verifying our hypotheses about suitability of this approach to learning programming by evaluating the effectiveness of the learning process.
Keywords: logic programming, Prolog, program schemata.
