A aprendizagem em lógica de programação com auxílio da inteligência computacional

Abstract

Technological advancement has led to several changes in the way man has interacted with the environment and these changes have influenced several areas such as economic, political and social. With knowledge of programming logic and algorithms it is possible to learn a programming language. The content is very relevant nowadays, as the vast majority of information and communication technologies use technologies based on some programming language, the vast majority of developers and professionals who work with a certain language are valued by the market. In this sense, learning programming logic becomes fundamental knowledge for human development. Learning programming logic contributes to the development of skills such as: logical reasoning, creativity, organization and cognitive development. The research aimed to propose a tool to analyze the learning activity in programming logic with the aid of computational intelligence. Seventeen students of the Computer Networks Technical Course at the Federal Institute of Amapá - Campus Macapá participated of this study. This proposal is part of the research line Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education, Macroproject 3 - Educational Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. The research had a quali-quantitative approach, with an applied, bibliographic, descriptive purpose (focused on describing a study or knowledge that already exists). Questionnaires and documents that provided data for analyzing the results were used as a research instrument. For data analysis, Content Analysis was used as a technique. The results obtained by the research show that learning can be significant, with the use of methodologies and technologies that helped students reflect on the importance of programming logic in their training. The use of the application developed contributed as a teaching resource in formal and non-formal environments, making learning more attractive and dynamic. In this sense, the research results were satisfactory, they highlighted the importance of learning programming logic as prior knowledge and in human training.
