Evaluation of Computational Thinking using four educational robots with primary school students in Peru

Abstract: The Development of Computational Thinking skills in elementary school students can be done through different activities, with or without the use of computers or technological devices. In this sense, the use of programmable robots brings many of the advantages of educational robotics for teaching fundamental aspects of Computing. This paper describes an educational intervention that evaluates the use of four educational robot models to improve Computational Thinking with primary school students in the Huancavel… Show more

“…From this perspective, the integration of computer science into schools has two main objectives: to offer all students the possibility of accessing computer science and to improve the learning of subjects known as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) [12] by making the contents more authentic and relevant [13] and helping students with learning to break down a task into simpler ones, formulating and testing hypotheses, exploring and investigating, relating knowledge and coming up with original ideas or solutions. Thus, at a global level, different educational administrations have echoed this need in an increasingly digital world and are integrating computational thinking in their classrooms [14][15][16] as another competence that students must acquire from early childhood and primary education [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] through to secondary education [24][25][26][27].…”

“…Uma linguagem de programação é um conjunto de instruções que um computador pode entender e executar (CORMEN, 2009). Papert (1980) argumentou que aprender uma linguagem de programação pode fornecer às crianças uma ferramenta poderosa para expressar suas ideias e criar coisas novas. No entanto, é importante escolher a linguagem de programação certa para as crianças, que seja fácil de aprender, mas poderosa o suficiente para capacitá-las a criar projetos interessantes (RESNICK et al, 2009).…”

“…Neste contexto, a programação para crianças, também conhecida como aprendizagem de codificação, refere-se ao processo de ensinar às crianças as habilidades e conceitos básicos da programação de computadores. Embora tenha havido muitos avanços significativos na educação de programação para crianças nos últimos anos, a ideia de ensinar codificação para crianças remonta décadas (PAPERT, 1980).…”

“…They also investigated the effects of using cell phone software to control educational robots with third-grade elementary school students (Yi andTing, 2020, in Kong et al, 2020). In addition, Paucar-Curasma et al ( 2022) conducted a study with a group of students aged 6-13 years in Peru, which was developed during 4 weeks, and applied computational thinking assessments applying the concepts of sequences, cycles, parallelism, conditionals, operators, and data manipulation, which allowed an appropriation of computational thinking skills by the participants in an optimal way (Paucar-Curasma et al, 2022). Finally, researchers Souza et al (2019) analyzed the effect of computational thinking in mathematics through educational robotics.…”
