Abstract
Abstract In the late 1970s PROLOG (PROgramming in LOGic) emerged as a potentially powerful tool for the education of school children. Early experiments to teach them PROLOG programming suggested that it improved their logical thinking, a finding subsequently confirmed. In 1982 a PROLOG project at Exeter followed the same course but in 1985 it switched to the use of PROLOG Intelligent Knowledge‐Based Systems. These IKBSs take the form of authoring shells which enable pupils to represent their understanding of a topic as a computer program written in English. The shells have been applied in the teaching of the Humanities, children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD ‐‐ dyslexia) and in the primary curriculum. Work has also been carried out in the teaching of languages and in teacher training. The article outlines different aspects of the curriculum development project at Exeter University which has developed and applied the PROLOG IKBSs.
