Abstract
The results of investigation of computer programs written by school students during the 6th International Olympiad in Informatics are presented. Pascal program texts are analyzed on the lexical level. A certain relationship is indicated between program correctness and usage of some programming constructs as well as readability of the program text. The results are discussed from the standpoint of programming teaching.

Abstract
The newest version of Turbo Pascal – Turbo Pascal 7.0 – is concentrately described in comparing with optimal language for programming teaching – Standard Pascal. Data types, control structures, procedures and functions, parameters, new directions of development are classified and discussed.

Abstract
An algorithm testing methodology used in the programming teaching process is presented. Turbo Pascal system is used. Due to systematic use of some features of this system a pseudo-direct execution of algorithms expressed by Pascal procedures and functions may be ensured. The need to use data read and write statements is excluded. This enables a novice learner to concentrate himself on the main actions of an algorithm.
