O jogo de xadrez como material instrucional para o ensino de pensamento computacional

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal of an instructional material for teaching computational thinking using the chess game as a learning resource. We aim to contribute to the educational computing scenario developing low cost pedagogical resources . Using a board game as an unplugged and playful activity, analogies were created to present the concept of algorithm, as well as to explore the potential of chess as a pedagogical material.
