Postoje mnogi programi koji mogu pomoći učenicima nižih razreda osnovne škole da se na jednostavan i zanimljiv način upoznaju s osnovnim konceptima programiranja, a neki od njih ne zahtijevaju učenje posebne sintakse koja učenicima u toj dobi čini programiranje teškim. Cilj ovoga rada bio je procijeniti neke programe namijenjene učenicima nižih razreda osnovne škole koji služe za učenje osnovnih koncepata programiranja. Ispitanici su procjenjivali programe Terrapin Logo, Scratch i Kodu. Za potrebe istraživanja kreiran je upitnik koji je služio za ispitivanje stavova ispitanika o navedena tri programa te je davao konačnu ocjenu ispitanika o ispitivanim programima. Dobiveni su odgovori analizirani, a rezultati su pokazali da ispitanici smatraju da su sva tri ispitivana programa adekvatna za poučavanje programiranja učenika nižih razreda osnovne škole, pri čemu je besplatni program Scratch dobio najveću prosječnu ocjenu, odnosno ispitanici su smatrali da je najprikladniji za korištenje u nastavi u nižim razredima osnovne škole.There are many programs which can help pupils in the lower grades of primary school to familiarise themselves with the basic concepts of programming in simple and interesting ways, and some of them do not require learning a specific syntax that makes programming difficult for pupils of that age. The aim of this study was to evaluate some educational programs intended for teaching the basic concepts of programming to pupils in the lower grades of primary school. The participants evaluated Terrapin Logo, Scratch and Kodu programs. For the purpose of this research, a questionnaire was created and used to examine the participants’ attitudes toward these three programs and gave the final participants’ assessment of the programs. The collected data were analyzed and the results showed that the participants considered all three evaluated programs adequate for teaching programming to pupils in the lower grades of primary school. The freeware program Scratch obtained the highest average score, in other words, the participants considered that Scratch was best suited for teaching programming to pupils in the lower grades of primary school
