Plataforma para auxílio no desenvolvimento de raciocínio lógico de crianças

Abstract

The development of playful activities by children aiming to arouse their interest and help in the learning of concepts and for the improvement of reasoning has been seen as a strong auxiliary in the early stages of school education. In addition, with the widespread use of information technology resources and the ever-increasing need for more complex software solutions, the interest and/or need to develop logical and abstract thinking has grown exponentially. This type of thinking has been increasingly needed in all human activities, but for the development of computer programs and applications it is indispensable and how much more accurate, better. Programming computers is an essentially abstract activity, although the result of code execution can be presented graphically (components and elements on computer screens). However, the computational resources themselves (hardware and software) can be used as teaching tools for teaching logic and concepts involved in programming and for the development of logical reasoning. There are several initiatives in this direction, such as code.org, which aims to provide technological tools for the learning of programming concepts and reasoning development. Through the accomplishment of this work a web platform was implemented that allows the composition of activities that aim to promote the development of logical reasoning in children. These activities are in the form of following a predetermined path using commands to move up, down, left, and right. These paths can be encapsulated in repeat structures (move right 5 times). For the development were these technologies as main: Material-UI, Axios, Konva.js, ReactJS, Redux, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, JavaScript e Robo 3T.
