Abstract

In the 2015/2016 academic year, Portugal’s General Directorate of Education launched the pilot project IP1 – Beginners Programming in Primary School, addressing the goal that students learn to program and with this experience develop cognitive and social skills.
Programming is becoming popular in different levels of school in many countries due to its numerous advantages such as the development of competences for problem solving, divergent ways of thinking, creativity, communication and group work.
The work presented here is an initial work, implemented within the frame of a doctoral degree project that describes a program of 21 fifty-minute sessions’, using Scratch tools, designed to develop the computational thinking of students in the third year of primary school. This paper also describes the instruments that will be built to evaluate the program’s effectiveness.
This program can be a pedagogical reference for implementation of project IP1 in other primary schools. Final considerations will be raised about future steps.
