FDRobô: um framework didático para auxiliar o ensino de linguagem de programação adaptada ao método de aprendizagem cooperativa e competitiva

Abstract

The production of new approaches using the technological resources in the teaching-learning process has grown in the educational environment. Therefore, the use of educational applications focused on robotics, is facilitating learning in education. However, engineering students, specifically in the discipline of programming languages are difficult to learn the standardized method to communicate instructions to a computer station. This dissertation addresses the frames of dedicated resources and methods of cooperative-competitive learning in order to facilitate the process of learning programming languages. It also seeks to define a software architecture to manipulate a robot in the real learning environment. The purpose is to promote a tool to assist in interpreting programming language instructions by a robot. The architecture definition process and set of methods to manipulate the robot was held to assist the difficulties encountered in students the discipline of programming languages. From these findings, it was possible to develop a system model, specific to the C programming language The prototype built in this paper is different from commercial products, because it took into account the adaptation of cooperative and competitive learning method. We attempted to offer an option that facilitates the editing of source code and its interpretation as to its use in the teaching-learning process. The evaluation process of the prototype was carried out by the methods of Usability Engineering. Based on results of experiments show that the environment has contributed to the process of teaching-learning programming languages. Therefore, the usability of the measurement criteria established by the ISO 9241 standard, claim that the proposal is another tool I support technological resources that can be used in education.
