Abstract

 This research has a mixed approach, its purpose is to know the state in which is the computational thinking of children 9 to 10 years of the educational institution Jose Miguel de Restrepo y Puerta. This school population will be chosen randomly and the progress of their computational thinking will be analyzed after a non-intensive course where they will be taught to program in blocks in the scratch and code.org platform.

 The correct development of computational thinking at an early age allows them to acquire skills for social interactions as well as better performance in the area of mathematics. However, most educational establishments do not have the necessary basis to develop it properly.


Resumen

La presente investigación tiene un enfoque mixto, su finalidad es conocer el estado en el cual se encuentra el pensamiento computacional de los niños de 9 a 10 años de la Institución Educativa Jose Miguel de Restrepo y Puerta. Esta población escolar se escogerá de manera aleatoria y se analizará el progreso de su pensamiento computacional después de realizar un curso no intensivo donde se les enseñará a programar en bloques en la plataforma de Scratch y code.org.

El correcto desarrollo del pensamiento computacional a temprana edad les permite adquirir habilidades para las interacciones sociales además de un mejor desempeño en el área de matemáticas, sin embargo, gran parte de los establecimientos educativos no tienen las bases necesarias para desarrollarlo adecuadamente.

Conclusions

Imagen
- From the results, it is concluded that block programming and other types of strategies are important for the development of computational thinking. - It is important to develop good computational thinking at an early age because it influences the mathematical logic dimension, so it could be a good strategy to incorporate basic programming concepts in the curriculum of educational institutions.  - We consider that if at some point this project is to be continued, it should be done the following year with the same children since, according to the words of the educator, the course will continue in the month of January, in addition to those studies to see the progress in order to make a study plan that could be implemented in the classroom.
