Desenvolvendo o pensamento Computacional nos alunos da 6ª classe utilizando a ferramenta Scratch no colegio Pitagoras da Chibia

Abstract

The present work seeks to investigate the possibilities of including the development of computational thinking in 6th grade students using the Scratch tool at Pitágoras School in Chibia. The aim of which is to develop computational thinking in students using the Scratch tool to carry out practical interdisciplinary activities. The activities were developed within the scope of the teaching of the subjects of Natural Sciences, Portuguese Language and Mathematics, in digital narrative format using texts, hypertext, videos, sounds, animation, images and games. The investigation is based on the research-action methodology, which consists of determining an object of study, selecting the variables that would be able to influence it, defining the forms of control and observation of the effects that the variable produces on the object. The results of the study demonstrate that learning in a playful way makes learning more meaningful. The use of Scratch enhances logical mathematical reasoning, a fact that contributed to the improvement of the learning of the contents of the subjects and the development of computational thinking in the 6th grade of Pitágoras School in Chibia
