Computação desplugada e design participativo: olhando para o Ensino Fundamental I

Abstract

This work aims to propose an unplugged computing activity to introduce the area of computing and computational thinking to elementary school students. The content displayed for this activity involves Human-Computer Interaction, due the lack of alternatives of researches with the target audience. Over the bibliographic and state-of-the-art survey, it was found that most of the studies applied unplugged computing activities with a focus on programming concepts and computational logic, with only 11.4% of the studies focusing on HCI concepts. In addition to the area of Human Computer Interaction being little explored in this literature, it was noted that middle and high school are the education levels most worked on in existing researches, indicating that elementary school students are an audience with opportunities to offer new parameters for research on teaching computing to children. The proposed statement considered the Ąve principles of Interaction Design for the development of an artifact inserted in content worked in the classroom.
