Efecto en el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional a través de una actividad tecnológica escolar que promueve un sistema Mocap

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) represents a learning opportunity that involves a set of skills focused on problem-solving practices. Therefore, the implementation of school technology activities (ATE) can support the development of elements that characterize CT, allowing students to approach knowledge and the use of technologies. This study proposes the design of an ATE based on learning through construction where complex problems are posed by addressing strategies explored in practices related to PC, such as: the UMC progression (Use-Modify-Create), unplugged activities and activities connected, with the intention of promoting the simulation and construction of a device that incorporates a set of inertial sensors that record the tracking of an extremity of the human body, the data obtained is sent to a visualization environment to animate a 3D digital model . The entire process is based on Mocap systems (Motion Capture, or Motion Capture, in English). These intentional actions seek to know the effect on the development of computational thinking from the cognitive process that includes the skills: decomposition, generalization, abstraction, algorithmic thinking and evaluation.
