Students often have difficulties in learning at the beginning stages. The reasons may be due to program codes are executed inside a computer. This study used Lego Mindstorms, a programmable robot, to help students learn programming concepts. Lego Mindstorms provides a visual programming tool, RoboLab, for students to write programs to control the Mindstorms robot. Students could see how their programs were executed by observing the behaviors of the robot. The objective of the study was to investigate whether the pre-learning of RoboLab programming concepts would help students' learning of programming using a high level language, i.e. Visual Basic (VB) in our study. The study used a quasi-experimental design. Two classes of high school students, one served as the experimental group and the other as the control group, participated in the student. The experimental group had learned 9 hours RoboLab programming before entering the treatment-where both groups learned 12 hours of VB programming. Research data were collected from students' answered questionnaires, performance tests, and focus group interviews. The results showed that there was no significant difference on students' comprehension of VB programs between both groups. However, more students in the experimental group admitted that they could imagine the execution of a program than those of the control group. The experimental group considered Mindstorms a helpful tool for their learning of programming concepts.樂高機器人程式設計教學機器人Lego MindstormsTeaching programmingRobots
