Computational thinking in mathematics teacher training

a curriculum analysis in undergraduate mathematics courses at Federal Institutes and Universities in the northeast

Abstract

In the context of discussions on the incorporation of Computational Thinking (CP) in basic education, one of the main current challenges is in teacher training that provides the development of activities that are solved using PC techniques. The National Curricular Common Base (BNCC) approved in 2018, in the area of ​​mathematics and its technologies,addresses computational thinking as another object of knowledge to be explored by mathematics teachers in your classes. With that, the investigation of this study aroused for a curriculum analysis of courses of graduation in Mathematics as form to identify if the curriculum offered curricular components in the area of computing and if these components pointed to elements of computational thinking to be developed skills inherent the formation theory and practice of the mathematics teacher.The results presented they are in frame format, from a document analysis of course political projects focusing on the curriculum,this way, there is a need curriculum reformulation of graduation in Mathematics in favor of meet the need of Basic Education with the computational thinking,furthermore,a consistent definition of Computational Thinking and its application for problem solving in basic education.
