Eduscrum como ferramenta do ensino de pensamento computacional para o curso técnico de informática do IFPI/CATZS

Abstract

Abstract: Computational Thinking is an essential competency in contemporary education, involving skills such as decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design. Its development is fundamental for problem-solving across different areas of knowledge. In this context, active methodologies such as EduScrum have been used to promote collaborative learning, task organization, and student protagonism, contributing to the development of these skills. Objective: To analyze the application of EduScrum in teaching Computational Thinking to students in the Technical Course in Informatics at the Federal Institute of Piauí – Teresina Zona Sul Campus. Methodology: This study is characterized as exploratory, applied in nature, with a qualitative approach and action-research procedures. Ten first-year high school students participated. A 30-hour Arduino course was developed, in which students built a traffic light project. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The results indicated advances in the four pillars of Computational Thinking, especially decomposition and algorithms. Pattern recognition showed intermediate performance, while abstraction presented greater difficulty. A positive perception regarding collaborative work was also observed, despite variations in group organization. Conclusion: It is concluded that the use of EduScrum contributed to the development of Computational Thinking, fostering active and collaborative learning, although abstraction and team organization still require greater pedagogical attention.
