Programação com linguagem visual na educação básica com arduino: possibili- dade metodológica

Abstract

It has been observed that computer education has been integrated into mainstream education and is gaining more space, providing new learning methodologies through the use of programming languages that awaken students' logical reasoning and help them build their own knowledge through activities under project-based learning methodologies. On the other hand, there are difficulties in teaching and learning programming, where students face blocks in understanding the content, combined with the complexity of the development environments that are employed. Such difficulties can be overcome or mitigated by the didactic use of new computational tools, built to facilitate learning, both in block-based programming and through experimentation with practical projects, favoring the development of skills and abilities included in the National Common Curricular Base. Thus, this work presents the possibility of using tools that facilitate programming learning with a completely visual approach, using educational robotics concepts for basic education students. Block codes developed through online/offline graphical platforms were used and transcribed into the Arduino IDE. Projects using the Arduino Uno were used to illustrate the simulation of practical situations, promoting and encouraging the development of skills, logical reasoning, and manipulation of concrete objects.
