Desenvolvimento de um Ambiente Educacional para Auxiliar o Ensino de Lógica de Programação: uma abordagem com arduino, blocos de montar de plástico interligados e programação em blocos

Abstract

Currently, as schools undergo transformations in their teaching methods, some still use traditional tools, on the other hand, other updated updates. Technology in schools can develop new skills, such as logical thinking, or who welcomes students both at school level and in relation to everyday activities and their working life. The teaching of programming logic is already part of the basic curriculum of many countries, which are related to the importance of logic as a basis for the development of children. In the information society, the use of technologies as a tool to help teachers has gained notoriety, in this sense, Educational Robotics becomes an alternative means for teaching and, consequently, can improve the performance of children in the study of programming logic. . It is in this context that we decorate this research, focused on the development of an educational environment for the teaching of programming logic. The developed environment uses the JavaScript code programming method and block programming, which are used in blocks to drive hardware developed from the combination of interlocking plastic assembly blocks and Arduinopowered electronics. An electronic interface is encapsulated to address any complexities. Thus, as a major contribution, this work brings the development of a solution for teachers and students assisting in the process of teaching and learning the logic of programming, mainly because it is a low cost solution that can be used in work situations and / or in a school environment.
