Abstract
En Chile existe un bajo desarrollo de habilidades relacionadas con las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) en estudiantes de educación escolar, lo que los deja en una desventaja en el mundo actual. El presente documento describe la elaboración de un taller extracurricular para estudiantes de 7º básico a 4º medio, basado en el currículo “The Beauty and Joy of Computing” (BJC), con el objetivo de desarrollar el pensamiento computacional a través de la programación en Scratch, y la discusión de implicaciones sociales de la informática. Se realizó un análisis del currículo del Nivel Básico de los Talleres OCI Labs y del currículo BJC, seleccionando aspectos relevantes para adaptarlos a la realidad nacional. Para validar la propuesta, se implementó un taller piloto de 8 clases en el contexto de los Talleres OCI Labs, donde se aplicaron encuestas de entrada y salida para evaluar la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la informática y la implementación del taller. Los resultados sugieren un alto nivel de satisfacción de los estudiantes respecto al piloto, así como un cambio positivo en su motivación por aprender a programar.
In Chile, there is a lack in the development of skills related to information and communication technologies (ICT) in school students, which leaves students at a disadvantage in today’s world. This paper describes the development of an extracurricular workshop for students from 7th grade (elementary school) to 4th grade (secondary school), based on the curriculum “The Beauty and Joy of Computing” (BJC), to develop computational thinking through programming using Scratch, including the discussion of the social implications of computer science. An analysis of the Basic Level curriculum of the OCI Labs Workshops and the BJC curriculum was conducted, identifying relevant aspects to adapt them to the national reality. To validate the proposed workshop, a pilot of 8 classes was implemented in the context of the OCI Labs Workshops, where initial and final surveys were applied to evaluate the students’ perception regarding computer science and the workshop implementation. The results suggest a high level of student satisfaction with the pilot, as well as a positive change in their motivation to learn programming.
