UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA ACERCA DO USO DE FERRAMENTAS DIDÁTICAS NO ENSINO DE LÓGICA DE PROGRAMAÇÃO

Abstract

Currently, the information technology (IT) sector is one of the most lucrative and important in society, organizations and institutions are increasingly demanding professionals who develop and manage information systems, with the adoption of these tools being essential for the success and improvement of quality of services. The higher education of IT professionals presents a problem widely known and debated in the scientific literature, evasion, responsible for a large loss of capital invested in courses and a low training rate in relation to the initial number of beginners in undergraduate courses. Evasion occurs in the vast majority in the first period of IT courses, one of the causes is the discipline of introduction to programming, a passing curricular requirement and which has a high degree of demand and difficulty, such factors challenge students who largely do not have basic logic and prior mathematics to adapt to the content, skills are outside most high school curriculum. Given the above, the present work aims to carry out a literature review whose theme is the use of didactic tools in the teaching and learning of programming logic. An exploratory research was carried out on scientific bases, looking for works that address how the integrated use of pedagogical programming tools can help the learning of contents related to the introductory programming discipline, increasing the chances of the student succeeding in the initial phase of the course, such as chances of evasion. Works identified as Scratch, VisuAlg, MOJO, BOCA-LAB, among others, are systematically discussed in specific chapters for each tool.
