The present research examined the impact of a Logo environment on the level of problem solving control, modification of planning ability and sharing processes in pairs and individual learners. Forty‐five fifth‐grade students (ranging in age from 10 to 11 years old, who studied in four classes), participated in the study. The subjects were randomly divided into fifteen pairs and fifteen individuals. Results showed significant differences in problem solving control between the Logo environment group and the comparison group. At the end of the treatment the degree of cooperative learning increased in the pairs groups. There was an effective modification of the subjects’ planning ability in both pairs and individuals.
