Study of Educational Activities Present in the Literature on Computer Education in Brazilian Elementary School: A Systematic Analysis of Identified Skills, according to the Complementary Standards to the BNCC

Abstract

The teaching of Computing has gained relevance in the Brazilian basic education curriculum, driven by the growing integration of technology in all spheres of human activity and the approval of Resolution No. 1/2022 of the National Education Council (Standards on Computing in Basic Education – Complement to BNCC), which establishes mandatory computing teaching in basic education. This movement reflects global trends and highlights the urgency of adapting educational curricula to the demands of contemporary society. With this in mind, the present work aims to identify the skills, as defined in the standards complementary to the BNCC, worked on in the teaching-learning activities described in the literature on the teaching of Computing in Brazilian Basic Education, more specifically in the Elementary School stage. (Early Years and Final Years), and the frequency with which each of these skills occurs. To this end, the research method adopted in this research included a preliminary study of curricular guidelines and the carrying out of a systematic mapping of the literature. The results obtained showed a predominance of primary studies focusing on the development of Computational Thinking. On the other hand, primary studies aimed at teaching skills related to the Digital World and Digital Culture axis were considerably less recurrent, most evidently the last one. Thus, it is concluded that there is a need to expand teacher training and adapt curricula to more effectively incorporate the contents of the Digital World and Digital Culture axes, in addition to developing related teaching resources. This study offers a basis for future educational and curricular initiatives, promoting a more holistic integration of Computing in basic education.
