Análise do aplicativo ProPenCom e suas contribuições para o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional no contexto educacional.

Abstract

This work weaves reflections on the analysis of the Propencom application and the development of Computational Thinking. Its main purpose is to analyze the contributions of the Propencom application to the process of developing Computational Thinking in Basic Education students. Computational Thinking is an essential competence in contemporary education, promoting skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, and creativity. In this study, we address the relevance of using educational applications to strengthen these skills from the early years of basic education. The theoretical framework is based on studies on Computational Thinking and the use of the Propencom application in the educational context, highlighting how this tool can positively influence the teaching and learning process. However, the research also points out some limitations in the use of the application, suggesting the need for adjustments and improvements. It is concluded that Propencom is a promising tool for basic education, capable of enriching pedagogical practice and supporting the development of key competencies for the 21st century. The continuity of studies on the subject is suggested, as well as the expansion of the use of educational technologies that can complement teaching.
