Evaluación del Pensamiento Computacional utilizando cuatro robots educativos con estudiantes de primaria en Perú

Resumen

El desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento computacional en estudiantes de primaria puede llevarse a cabo a través de distintas actividades, con o sin el uso de computadoras o aparatos tecnológicos. En ese sentido, la utilización de robots programables trae consigo muchas de las ventajas de la robótica educativa para el contexto de la enseñanza de aspectos fundamentales de la computación. Este artículo describe una intervención educativa que evalúa el uso de cuatro modelos de robots educativos para mejorar el pensamiento computacional con estudiantes de primaria en la región de Huancavelica en Perú, Sudamérica. Esta región peruana es conocida por sus bajas tasas de desarrollo humano, donde la población aún enfrenta importantes barreras de acceso a la educación y a la tecnología. El estudio se desarrolló con un grupo de estudiantes de 6 a 13 años, durante un período de cuatro semanas. La evaluación del pensamiento computacional se realizó utilizando conceptos computacionales como secuencias, ciclos, eventos, paralelismo, condicionales, operadores y manipulación de datos. Los resultados de la evaluación mostraron que los niños preferían los robots que tienen más interacción, conectividad y características de programación, y que podrían contribuir significativamente al desarrollo de sus habilidades del pensamiento computacional.
