AAP - Um Ambiente para Aprendizagem de Programação

Abstract

Several research groups around the world have studied the process of learning how to program a computer. The learning of programming continues to be a complex problem because of the multiple skills and multiple stages required to the programming process. In the view of many students, introductory programming courses are considered difficult, this results in poor performance and many failures. In this research, we are interested in the creation of a supportive environment for learning programming in its several stages. Thus we define a virtual environment with computing resources to support the implementation of pedagogical architectures useful for learning programming. We present the elements of these architectures (objectives, strategies and digital resources) and their validations based on the apprentices’ experiences.
