The curricular unit will be taught through theoretical-practical classes, seeking, however, to make a clear distinction between a theoretical aspect and another aspect of an essentially practical nature. Continuous assessment is carried out using individual or group programming work. Program evaluations (Scratch base) will be evaluated according to seven “dimensions”: logical thinking (LT), data information representation (IR), user interactivity (IN), flow control (FC), abstraction (AB) and problem decomposition, parallelism (PA) and synchronization (SN) – weight 60%; report component – weight 25% and presentation (poster session) – weight 15%.

After attending this curricular unit, the student should be able to develop computational thinking, coding projects in Scratch (MIT), using the several functionalities available in the software, including the connection to physical devices: makey makey, BBC microbit and autonomous robots (ex Cubetto).

Scratch programming language (MIT): variable declaration; Control blocks and various decision-operators, mathematical and comparison; Sprites control and functionality; practical projects of animation, games and storyteller.
Programming teaching in kindergarten and 1st cycle: Explore Scratch as a programming language. Understanding of the main programming concepts; algorithms, sequencing, repetition, variables and selection. Reflection on teaching-learning and classroom practice. Identify programming concepts through projects, whether digital or “offline” / unplugged. Apply a cross-curricular approach to programming. .

• - Individual and/or Group Work - 60.0%
• - Report component - 25.0%
• - Presentation (poster session) - 15.0%
