Desenvolvendo o pensamento computacional com a computação desplugada – um relato de experiência com jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade social

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to present an experience report of a project, which was developed with young people from a community located in the city of Santarém, in a situation of social vulnerability. In order to teach them computational thinking, its 4 pillars were worked on, namely: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithm. Working on these skills is extremely important, as they are the basis for developing other skills necessary for areas such as mathematics, logical reasoning, among others. With the purpose of assisting in its development, a primer with activities was developed, in which the concepts of computational thinking were taught through unplugged computing. These activities were developed in a regionalized manner, with the aim of teaching and cultivating Amazonian culture. Furthermore, as a way of measuring students' knowledge, a before and after questionnaire was carried out for comparison. As a main result, better learning and cognitive development of students in skills involving computational thinking were observed.
