Mapeamento de barreiras na aprendizagem de programação e proposição de uma solução educacional digital

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the results of a quantitative study conducted with students from the Computer Science Technical Course at IFPI – Floriano Campus. The objective was to identify the main obstacles to programming learning and suggest a digital solution that addresses these needs. The study involved 114 students, of whom 112 responded to a questionnaire with 45 items organized into six dimensions: cognitive, emotional, metacognitive, structural, personal, and belonging. The data analysis revealed the presence of various barriers that go beyond technical difficulties, highlighting the importance of emotional support, self-regulation, and a sense of belonging for academic success. As a proposal, a digital tool focused on study personalization, positive feedback, and pedagogical support was suggested. The research concludes that humanized and integrated technological solutions can increase student engagement and contribute to their retention in technical programming courses.
