Uma análise da ferramenta Alice no ensino da lógica de programação.

Abstract

This article evaluates the Alice tool as a way to encourage students to succeed in the discipline of Programming Logic in technical courses in Informatics at professional schools in the city of Fortaleza. The choice of such educational software was due to the fact that the environment is easy to use, attracting the student through animations and interactions between characters and objects, very reminiscent of video games, something present in the student's daily life. Therefore, we seek to show whether this tool actually brings positive results for the teaching of programming logic, which is considered a difficult discipline by many students. The methodology used was descriptive research, with data analysis made with students of a choice in Fortaleza. Based on the results of the work, we verified that, through the use of the Alice tool, there was an improvement in the grades of this discipline and we noticed a great enthusiasm for this new way of teaching and learning programming logic.
