Pensamento computacional no Ensino Fundamental I: um estudo de caso utilizando computação desplugada

Abstract

A problem in the teaching and learning process is developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A strategy that has been used is the teaching of Computational Thinking and the Unplugged Computing technique. This article describes a case study carried out in the discipline of Computational Thinking in a private elementary school. The goal of the case study was to stimulate the individual and collaborative logical reasoning through a Unplugged Computing activity. The study was accomplished out in two stages, the first one individually and the second collaboratively. As a result it was identified that the students of the 2nd. year of elementary school improved their results with group activity.
