Using robot to motivate computational thinking in high school students

Abstract

The importance today is the development of computational thinking of technological professionals. This kind of thinking is useful for solving algorithms, analyzing, designing, coding and generating tests in a computer language. Today, obtaining knowledge and skills is related to the use of technology. In this paper, a robot is used as a teaching element to motivate the generation process of computational thinking in students of high school level. Measurement of variables, such as: advantages, interest, competition and operating time serve as indices to determine the degree of acceptance of this educational tool.
