Iniciação à programação em blocos utilizando Ardublock e plataforma Arduino

Abstract

This work was completed with the purpose of designing the creation of an instructional material with the focus on the introduction to Arduino programming using Ardublock software. The construction of the first version was tested through a pilot study, where it was used as a research reference Damiani (2013), where it describes the research through a pedagogical intervention. The construction of the material, followed as a reference the theory of Significant Learning of David Ausubel (2003). The results obtained in the pedagogical interventions allowed the creation of a new version of the instructional material, with corrections and extra explanations of concepts that were not clear in the intervention, also inserting new themes in the work. This material has the objective of introducing Arduino programming in Elementary School, in this book contains the introduction to programming logic, commands in the Ardublock, voltage division, sensors and actuators and small projects involving Arduino / Ardublock platform, so that the work as a basis for more advanced projects. Also, modifications were made to the Ardublock, with the insertion of new functions to the software, this is due in part, because it is an opensource program, such modifications were made with the objective of scheduling a meteorological mini-session, in which the program initially did not had sufficient functions for this.
