Propostas de ensino de programação e experiências na educação básica: diálogos

Abstract

In this research, we investigated a method of teaching programming languages, with high school students, based on the premised that teaching computer programming – understood as language teaching – is directly related to the type of approach taken. In this research proposes a study of case through an approach in wich the student types the codes, using advanced three dimensional information production and visualization technology (A3DIPVT). The methodology uses as tools the Blogger platform HTML editor and X3Dom framework – allowing simultaneously the typing of commands and visualization of programmed three- dimensional digital objects. This research investigates the relationship between the approach described (the student types the programming commands, visualizing the code’s effects simultaneously the activity of typing it) and the way the high school student will appropriate this knowledge. The experience was carried out remotely through recorded video classes and comunication via messaging application (Whatsapp) with a group of thirteen high school students from a state school in São Paulo. Questionnaires pre and post remote activities were applied to better assess the perception of participating students and the dialogue with them during the process. We observe the importance of teaching programming languages and their potential as interdisciplinary work. In state schools in São Paulo, this content is not included in the curriculum, we argue that students from the state school system, especially high school students, have computer programming included in their curriculum.
