Resumo:
The teaching and learning of programming, in general, has proven to be a challenge
for students of computer and related courses, since they present challenges and
require complex skills, such as logical-mathematical reasoning, for their good
development. Furthermore, the traditional teaching model is not able to motivate
students and arouse their interest in the topic. There is, therefore, a need for the
actors involved in education to review their way of teaching, integrating information
and communication technologies in education in the same way as they are present in
our daily lives. In this sense, the use of an Open Educational Resource (OER) not
only has the potential to contribute to the modernization of the current teaching
model, but also to collaborate on improving the quality of education. The tool
proposed herein, the REA-LP, aims to facilitate studying and retention of content
related to the discipline of programming logic at the technical level, by presenting its
content through various types of media, such as audio, video, text, and static and
dynamic images. Therefore, the tool allows students to actively participate in the
construction of their knowledge, favoring engagement and motivation, in addition to
enabling the review of content considered essential for the proper development of the
discipline. To assess the perception of use by students and its impact on the study of
algorithms and programming logic, as well as to evaluate the resource pedagogically,
an empirical study was carried out with 39 students of an informatics technical course
integrated with secondary school. In the research, some questionnaires were applied,
as well as focus groups interviews and a performance test were carried out. The
results allow concluding that the tool was very well accepted, being effective in its
function of facilitating and assisting students in their learning, motivation, and interest
in classes, mainly due to the way in which the content is presented at REA-LP, with
emphasis on animated media and review modules, exceeding their expectations.
