ESTUDO DA GAMIFICAÇÃO NO ENSINO DO PENSAMENTO COMPUTACIONAL E RACIOCINIO LÓGICO PARA ESTUDANTES DE PROGRAMAÇÃO DE COMPUTADORES

Abstract

This article seeks to demonstrate the benefits of using gamification techniques in teaching and developing computational thinking and logical reasoning skills. The methodology used to conceptualize the theme was a case study, with a qualitative and descriptive approach. Based on the study, the existence of difficulties in the development of such abilities by computer programming students was observed. The data collected allowed us to identify, in the authors' view, contributions from the application of gamification to the development of computational thinking and logical reasoning of students.
