Uso do Scratch para o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional

Abstract

Currently, the school has become a very dynamic environment and for this it needs teaching tools capable of providing students with the best possible experience, and in Brazil we have a great lack in the study of Computational Thinking in schools, usually due to a lack of methodologies that include it in other areas of education. In order to get around this problem, we have some works that propose the use of Scratch as a pedagogical tool in the development of Computational Thinking. This work presents the experience of a project implemented in a math class, with activities using Scratch and addressing the concepts of Computational Thinking. A study case was carried out in the Mathematics subject of the 9th grade of Elementary School, where it was possible to observe that the students built a relationship between their prior knowledge of the subject and those presented through Scratch, thus making learning more meaningful.
