A relação entre as dificuldades no aprendizado de programação e o transtorno do déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH) em alunos do eixo de informática do IFPI- Campus Floriano.

Abstract

This article presents the results of an investigation into the relationship between difficulties in learning programming and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in students from the computer science axis at the Federal Institute of Piauí, Campus Floriano. The research aimed to ascertain the presence of ADHD symptoms in this specific sample and further understand their relationship with difficulties in learning programming disciplines. A descriptive and qualitative research methodology, divided into 4 distinct stages, was chosen. The study's results revealed that the possible presence of the disorder among computer science students is a minority, which may also be related to the difficulties faced by this minority in programming disciplines. The research objectives were successfully achieved. As a suggestion for future research, the development of a computational tool to assist individuals with the disorder in the programming field is proposed.
