The Use of the Educational Software "Aprenda Scratch" in the programming teaching by Students of a Distance Technical Computing Course
Abstract
With complex and extensive syntax, programming has always been a great challenge in courses involving computer science. The Aprenda Scratch was developed in 2015 to try to make the learning process of programming easer. It is a web education software that helps students use Scratch independently. The software was used by 298 students of the Technical Course in Informatics at a Distance from Ifes. The experience proved to be quite successful: 90% stated that the Learning Scratch has facilitated the understanding of programming language concepts, while 89% considered that the experience served to build a basis for learning more complex languages.
