Abstract

In this paper we will develop a new point of view on the educational use of computers, stressing its possibility for interactive use and the intellectual implications of the programming activity. After giving a rather detailed analysis of programming viewed as a cognitive process we propose a dual model centered on the notions of piloting and programming, followed by some snapshots of the interaction of a child with a computer. We will end with a proposition for the construction of an intelligent and convivial user environment.
