Digital pedagogical resources: A look at the development of computational thinking in secondary school students
Keywords:
Computational thinking, Digital competence, Scratch, Virtual tool, Educational platformAbstract
Computational thinking and digital competence in recent years have revolutionized the academy through the Scratch software at the secondary education level, which is why the study objective of this research was oriented towards verifying the development of computational thinking. and training criteria of the same entity educating in the seventh year of basic general education and teachers of the same level, based on the dimensions of computational thinking, among which he referred to: error detection, use of instructions, operators, reuse, identification of patterns, abstraction and operation, sequence, variables, for which a pragmatic research paradigm of a mixed approach was used, in the quantitative part a quasi-experiment was used with the applicability of a pre-test and a post-test with documentary support and explanatory level , the results show that there is a significant difference in the development or computational thinking among students who use the Scratch app in the teaching and learning process.
Keywords: Computational thinking, Digital competence, Scratch, Virtual tool, Educational platform.
