Implementar nociones de lenguaje de programación en los estudiantes del grado segundo de primaria del Liceo Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, por medio de la herramienta Scratch

Abstract

In recent years, the increase in the use of the tools offered by the Internet and that are applied in different areas of knowledge. With the use of technological devices curiosity begins to want to learn in depth how these different platforms are programmed that are used daily. For this reason, it is important to acquire knowledge of the programming language, which for a child of the age of 7 or 8 years finds it very easy to understand. This project seeks to implement beginnings of programming in the students of the second grade of the Liceo Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, through the Scratch program, with the support of other programming tools that allow strengthening thinking computing in students. It is implemented to a sample of 30 students, under the collaborative learning methodology and problem-based learning, in order to motivate the student to carry out the proposed activities, achieving significant learning, taking into account the institutional educational project of the school "Constructivist pedagogical model". The purpose of the project is to offer bases that allow students to start in this field of programming strengthen computational skills, development of logical thinking and solution of problems, through tasks directed specifically to increase the development of the creativity through programming in Scratch. When implementing the project, an approximation to basic concepts of programming, its implementation at the time of creating the step by step of an algorithm of a program and understanding of it
