PRÁTICAS DE REUTILIZAÇÃO E RECOMBINAÇÃO NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DO PENSAMENTO COMPUTACIONAL: UMA SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA PARA O CURSO TÉCNICO EM INFORMÁTICA PARA A INTERNET INTEGRADO AO MÉDIO

Abstract

How can we spark students’ interest in computational thinking in Integrated High School education? This dissertation, developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Program in Vocational and Technological Education (ProfEPT), invites the reader to explore an innovative proposal that investigates how reusing and remixing practices, mediated by the MIT App Inventor 2 platform, contribute to the development of computational thinking in the context of Vocational and Technological Education (VTE).The theoretical framework included a systematic literature review, Papert's constructionism, and the computational teaching practices advocated by Resnick and Wing. The sequence was implemented at IF Goiano – Campus Trindade and evaluated through questionnaires and participant observation. The results revealed that reusing and remixing promote meaningful learning, student engagement, and the strengthening of logical reasoning and creativity, establishing themselves as effective methodological practices for teaching computational thinking. Thus, this work contributes to the advancement of active methodologies in Professional and Technological Education, consolidating the developed educational product as an innovative and replicable alternative for teaching computational thinking.
