Potencialidades da resolução de problemas em matemática no ensino médio para o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional

Abstract

The general objective of this research was to investigate the process of teaching and learning measures of central tendency, with the objective of developing computational thinking (CT), using the MIT App Inventor as a pedagogical resource. The development of the proposed activities took place with students in a class of the 3rd year of high school at ECITE Henrique de Fernandes de Farias, located in the city of Curral De Cima. The choice of research was due to the great emphasis that the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC (BRASIL, 2018) gave to computational thinking, which was always and only present in the mathematics assignments of the document. The most relevant concepts for the development of this research were raised, as the pillars of computational thinking are related to solving mathematical problems. The theoretical basis had as main references Wing, Bocconi and Brackmann. As for the approach to the object, it is classified as qualitative in nature and for data collection it is a case study research. It was highlighted in this research problems that the relationship between the PC and the resolution of mathematical problems is inseparable, because the resolution of mathematical problems is directly with the pillars of computational thinking. As well, it was analyzed that the use of App Inventor as a pedagogical tool in the curricular components of mathematics, allows the student to have the first contact with the programming environment.
