Torneios Baseados em Robocode para Incentivar Jovens a Aprender Programação
Abstract
Students from the current generation, inserted in a context of connectivity in the digital world may consider demotivating the traditional learning environment. This article points a new approach to teaching programming through the development of scientific competitions based on the digital educational game Robocode. The study presents the experience of organizing scientific competitions involving contests and leagues based on the educational game Robocode over five years and it discuss how these can be used as promising tools to diversify playful and collaborative learning methods.
