Utilização do Scratch como ferramenta para apoiar o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional

Abstract

This paper presents a case study, involving the application of the Scratch tool to support the teaching and learning processes that comprise Computational Thinking. It is expected that, with the application of this tool, classes will be more interactive, dynamic and intuitive, enhancing learning. The work comprises the qualification of teachers for the application of Scratch in their pedagogical practices.The case study participating teachers work in high school and also in elementary school, these teachers work in more than two classes and teach classes for more than one subject. Only one teacher had heard about Computational Thinking and two teachers already knew the Scratch tool. It is important to note that all teachers who responded to the research instrument claim that they intend to adopt the Scratch tool in any of their classes.
