“…As this study deals with creative actions, the proposal uses the IT area that most deals with creations that use imagination and that can be materialized: robotics. Monsores et al (2020) show an example of the experience of using the gestalt approach to construct educational resources using IT principles. It is only a part of the biggest educational project that uses robotic, gestalt approach and programming to production, by the own students, educational resources.…”

“…The example of Pill & Hyndman ( 2018 ) gives Gestaltism and its applicability in the school setting, highlighting the value of this approach is spontaneous learning. By conceiving perception as a dynamic and integrated process, Gestaltism can provide education resources from actions of creativity (Monsores et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The beginning of applying the educational method using Gestaltism with robotics and programming, with a bias towards the production of pedagogical and didactic resources to awaken interests in new knowledge, has as its starting point the obtaining of the students’ particular visions about IT. One motivation issue for choosing robotics as the prominent IT area in this study was that by studying robotics, students could concretely visualize an object with form, and Gestalt Therapy is the psychology of form (Monsores et al., 2020 ; Skottun & Krüger, 2021 ).…”

The use of information technology in the academic environment has grown. Building different didactic techniques to help students learn and practice with Information Technology (IT) resources is common. However, applying these techniques does not necessarily mean that students may acquire knowledge. The differential idea of this work is to create an approach in which students are protagonists and not just absorbers of IT. Based on this perspective, we applied a Gestalt approach to assist students in practicing these technological resources. They produce new hardware and software tools during classes based on their personal needs and worldviews. We analyzed applications of this novel way of computer science teaching in three different schools. It was possible to observe greater motivation from the students to experience new knowledge from technological resources. The common aspect was that solutions were conceived and developed from students’ needs. The development followed a Gestalt approach, which combines the idea of form and imagination. Thus, with this approach, reactivity towards IT was reduced. It helped construct technological tools to acquire propaedeutic knowledge.
