Problemas de ensino e aprendizagem dos fundamentos de programação
Resumo
Dentro dos cenários relacionados com a informática, as atividades de aprendizagem ligadas à programação de computadores têm sido reconhecidas com um alto grau de dificuldade, segundo os antecedentes revelados no presente artigo de revisão. Com esta situação, que aparentemente, é bastante comum no âmbito global, as causas que geram dita problemática estão relacionadas com determinadas características que acontecem dentro da sala de aula. Certas habilidades cognitivas são relevantes no momento da aprendizagem dos fundamentos de programação, ta s como a capacidade de abstração, uma boa aptidão lógico-matemática e a facilidade para a resolução de problemas de ordens algorítmicos. Além disso, fatores motivadores são necessários, no momento de se confrontar com os temas associados com os fundamentos de programação dentro dos cenários de prática. O conteúdo desta revisão envolve experiências em diferentes áreas do planeta, cujo interesse tem o objetivo de descobrir as origens do problema. Finalmente, é elaborada uma reflexão na busca de possíveis soluções, e onde se abre o espaço de atuação para uma nova orientação baseado no núcleo da Essência da Semat.
