Abstract

In this paper, we present the initial results of a systematic mapping which included the analysis of articles on computer education in basic education in Brazil, published in the last four years (2009-2012) in three major national events: the Brazilian Symposium Computing in Education (SBIE), the Workshop on Information Technology School (WIE) and the Workshop on Computer Education (WEI). Those results can be used in the future to guide the development of a curriculum applied to teaching computing to basic education compatible with the skills required of individuals in the new century, considering social e cultural aspects of the Brazilian context.
