The article presents a five-level model for teaching algorithmic thinking and programming using the Robo-CIRCLE robotic platform and the Cricket Logo programming
environment. The model is based on the principle of gradual complication of educational material and is aimed at developing students’ algorithmic thinking and practical programming skills. The article provides a general description of all levels of the model, while the first level is considered in detail as a basic stage that reveals the general methodological approach preserved at the subsequent levels. The results obtained during the implementation of the model confirm the pedagogical relevance of the proposed approach in teaching algorithmic thinking within the school informatics course.
