Aplicação do método Eduscrum como ferramenta da Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos (ABPj) para o ensino do pensamento computacional na educação profissional e tecnológica

Abstract

This study proposes the use of the Eduscrum method, combined with Project-Based Learning (PBL), as an alternative for teaching Computational Thinking in the Technical Informatics course at the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí (IFPI), Campus Teresina Zona Sul (CATZS). Eduscrum is a methodology inspired by Scrum, adapted to the educational environment, which promotes collaboration among students, project development, and autonomous learning. Project-Based Learning is a teaching methodology that enables students to develop knowledge through projects or challenges that require real-life applicable skills. Students are encouraged to investigate and find solutions to problems, which demands concentration, teamwork, dialogue, leadership, and responsibility. The implementation of the Eduscrum method as a tool for PBL in teaching Computational Thinking has the potential to increase student motivation, enhance problem-solving skills, and foster teamwork. The importance of articulating theory and practice is emphasized to provide an education that goes beyond technical knowledge, forming individuals capable of solving everyday problems in a critical and reflective manner. The general objective of this research was to analyze the contributions of active methodologies to Vocational and Technological Education through the application of the Eduscrum method as a tool for Project-Based Learning. The research was conducted at the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí (IFPI), Campus Teresina Zona Sul. The adopted methodological approach was qualitative and exploratory, utilizing action research. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires applied to students who participated in the course, as well as direct observation. As an educational product, a course was developed to support the learning of students in the Technical Informatics course at IFPI, Campus Teresina Zona Sul.
