Pensamento Computacional como ferramenta no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da Matemática do ensino básico

Abstract

Mathematics teaching has faced significant challenges, including a lack of student motivation and the perception that the subject is abstract and distant from their everyday lives. In this context, the integration of Computational Thinking emerges as an innovative approach to making mathematics teaching more engaging and relevant. This work aims to contextualize the theme of Computational Thinking in teaching mathematics, highlighting its importance and relevance in the educational context contemporary. The objectives of this study are: to understand the benefits and challenges of the integration of Computational Thinking in mathematics teaching, explore the strategies and methodologies used for its implementation and discuss the implications practices and policies of this integration. The justification for this study lies in the need to promote more effective and inclusive mathematics education, which prepares students to the challenges of the 21st century. Computational Thinking offers a unique opportunity to transform mathematics teaching, making it more dynamic, interactive and relevant for students. However, its implementation faces significant challenges, which will from the lack of technological infrastructure to the scarcity of teacher training. Therefore, it is essential to invest in educational policies and training programs for teachers who effectively promote the integration of Computational Thinking in mathematics teaching, ensuring quality mathematics education for all students.
