Unplugged Computing as a methodological proposal for teaching and learning Computational Thinking in High School

Abstract

The development of Computational Thinking (CP) is among the didactic-pedagogical objectives in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). Its approach originates in several techniques of Computer Science, bringing innovation to the way of teaching in schools in several countries around the world. In Brazil, the BNCC already contemplates the CP, however, in practice, there is a deficit in teacher training, in addition to the lack of adequate infrastructure to achieve the objectives proposed in the BNCC, since, sometimes, there are no computing devices, internet and, in some cases, even electricity in the teaching units. The objective of this article is to propose a learning workshop through Unplugged Computing (CD) using the methodology of Computational Thinking (PC) to teachers of schools in the state network. Thus, this work presents a didactic-pedagogical proposal with practical workshops aimed at teachers, thus enabling the development of competences in the application of CT, through CD, in public education without the need for electronic resources.
