Desenvolvimento de um ambiente web educacional para o ensino de pensamento computacional usando o arcabouço pedagógico MAPEAR

Abstract

Computational Thinking is considered an essential competency for developing cognitive and digital skills; however, its teaching in basic education still faces challenges, particularly due to the lack of integrated, contextualized, and accessible pedagogical approaches for teachers. To address this gap, the supervising professor proposed MAPEAR - a structured pedagogical framework for teaching Computational Thinking that emphasizes reflective learning and is designed for teacher education in both initial and continuing training programs. MAPEAR integrates various educational resources and strategies, such as Educational Robotics, gamification, active methodologies, and teaching materials specifically designed to support pedagogical practice. These elements are organized within the MAPEAR Protocol, which guides the planning, implementation, and critical reflection on teaching activities, providing structured support for teachers across diferente disciplines. Within the scope of the present Undergraduate Thesis, a new version of the framework, originally implemented in HTML and JavaScript, was developed using React and JavaScript. The new implementation made the system lighter, more modular, and functional, facilitating its use and maintenance while enhancing the user experience. Thus, this work helps consolidate MAPEAR as a robust technological and pedagogical tool that supports teacher education and the effective implementation of Computational Thinking in basic education.
