Proposta de Integração do Pensamento Computacional em habilidades da Matemática na BNCC

Abstract

In today’s world, you need more than knowing how to read, write, add and subtract. Due to the advancement of technology, the set of skills for the full exercise of citizenship becomes, with each passing day, more comprehensive. One of these essential skills for citizens is Computational Thinking. Computational Thinking (CP) can be seen as a methodology to solve problems in the most diverse areas based on Computer Science concepts. Due to its importance, it was introduced in 2018 in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). The BNCC is a guiding document and mandatory reference for the elaboration of school curricula and pedagogical proposals from kindergarten to high school in Brazil. She makes references to CP and related skills, but in a punctual way and, mainly, related to the thematic unit Algebra of Mathematics. However, the skills proposed in the BNCC do not directly address the PC concepts. In this work, skills are presented that relate one or more thematic areas of Mathematics and some CT concepts with the objective of illustrating the scope and feasibility of integrating this methodology into the curriculum since the early years of teaching. The work is divided into two stages, the first presents skills that relate different areas of Mathematics in the first year of Elementary School and some concepts of the PC. In the second, skills are presented that extend the skills of the Algebra of Mathematics thematic area of the first three years of Elementary School to integrate the same concepts of CT. Through a questionnaire, the proposals are evaluated by mathematics and pedagogy teachers in order to verify the clarity, coherence, feasibility and replicability of the relationships made. As a main objective, it is expected that educators manage to appropriate the established relationships, replicate them to other existing thematic units, as well as develop them in the classroom.
