Alice ® is one of the most used tools in learning programming languages, given its usefulness to acquire skills in problem solving and algorithmic thinking. This document presents the results of the analysis of the use of the Alice platform as a tool for learning programming from a literature review. We used the most common databases in the area of computer science such as ACM, IEE, among others; and taking into account a search protocol, and some criteria, 24 articles were selected. Among the findings are the effectiveness of the use of Alice as a learning resource for introduction to programming, the amount of work in English, and the weak validity of the experimental results.
