PROGRAMAÇÃO TANGÍVEL PARA A INCLUSÃO E PROMOÇÃO DAS STEM
CONTRIBUTOS PARA A FORMAÇÃO CONTÍNUA DE PROFESSORES
Resumo
O pensamento computacional tem sido destacado como uma importante competência do século XXI. A programação tangível constitui-se uma poderosa via para o seu desenvolvimento. Permite uma aprendizagem ativa dos alunos desde o início da escolaridade, pode contribuir para práticas inclusivas e aliar-se a uma abordagem curricular integradora e flexível nas áreas STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Foram estes os pressupostos do projeto TangIn “Tangible programming & inclusion”, cujo principal objetivo foi (co)desenvolver um kit didático para apoiar a utilização da programação tangível em contexto escolar. Este artigo foca-se na apresentação do Projeto e na apresentação dos resultados da avaliação dos eventos realizados na Bulgária, Espanha, Letónia e Portugal para disseminação da referida toolbox.
