Pedagogical strategy for strengthening computational thinking in teachers

Abstract

The development of skills related to computational thinking that involve problem solving is of utmost importance for teachers in their educational work. In this sense, the main objective of this research was to strengthen computational thinking in primary school teachers at the Pizanda Educational Institution (Nariño), through a pedagogical strategy based on the use of digital tools. The methodology is framed in the mixed approach and a correlational descriptive scope, a diagnosis was carried out on a sample of 6 teachers, subsequently, an intervention proposal was developed based on the Scratch tool, which allowed the linking of educational processes to the development of computational thinking skills. The application of the strategy contributed to teachers having an approach towards the development of these skills through forums, exercises, questionnaires and final projects, ensuring that they made use of new technologies, learning that will be very useful for their work. educational.
