Clube de programação e oficinas com o Scratch: um relato de experiência

Abstract

This work is being developed aiming to introduce computer programming, by means of the Scratch language, to middle-school students, as a way to develop their logical and computational thinking and incite them to have interest in Computer Science. The Scratch language allows students to improve the reasoning capabilities and mathematical knowledge that is essential to computer programming, playfully stimulating the interaction with the programming environment my means of blocks that remind LEGO toys. This study is being conducted by means of a programming club (or "Code Club") in partnership with a public school from Palotina-PR. Worskhops are also organized eventually. We present evidence that the workshops and the club arouse the students' interest for computer programming. Therefore, this study intends to evidence the effectiveness and feasability of introducing Computer Science for middle-school students and to evaluate Scratch in this context.

PC-Câmbio: Proposta de Atividade Lúdica e Desplugada Aplicando a Metodologia do Pensamento Computacional

“…De acordo com [18], os alunos poderão desenvolver novos modelos mentais para as abstrações computacionais. E posteriormente, atividades aplicadas serão trabalhadas de forma mais sistemática, no ensino centrada nos anos finais (6 o ao 9 o ano) e através da programação [2,6,12,14,17].…”
