Abstract

In Education 4.0, a personalized learning process is expected, and that students are the protagonist. In this new education format, it is necessary to prepare students with the skills and competencies of the 21st-Century, such as teamwork, creativity, and autonomy. One of the ways to develop skills and competencies in students can be through block programming, which can be used with emerging technologies such as robotics and IoT and in an interdisciplinary way. Thus, block programming in High School is important because it is possible to work on aspects such as problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, among other skills (Perin et al., 2021), which are necessary in the contemporary world. Thus, our Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) aims to identify which block programming tools support of Education 4.0 in High School. Overall, 46 papers were selected, and data were extracted. Based on the results, a total of 24 identified block programming tools that can be used in high school collaboratively and playfully and with an interdisciplinary methodology. Moreover, it was possible to see that most studies address block programming with high school students, demonstrating a lack of studies that address block programming with teachers. This SMS contributed to identifying block programming tools, emerging technologies, audience (teacher or student), and learning spaces where block programming is being worked on.

调查高中块编程工具以支持教育4.0:一个系统的地图研究

在教育4.0中，个性化的学习过程是预期的，学生是主角。在这种新的教育模式下，有必要让学生具备21世纪的技能和能力，比如团队合作、创造力和自主性。培养学生技能和能力的方法之一是通过模块编程，它可以与机器人和物联网等新兴技术结合使用，并以跨学科的方式使用。因此，高中的块编程很重要，因为它可以在解决问题，算法思维等方面进行工作，以及其他技能(Perin等人，2021)，这在当代世界是必要的。因此，我们的系统映射研究(SMS)旨在确定哪些块编程工具支持高中教育4.0。共筛选出46篇论文，并进行数据提取。基于这些结果，共有24种确定的块编程工具可以在高中协作和有趣地使用，并采用跨学科的方法。此外，有可能看到大多数研究都是针对高中生的块编程，表明缺乏针对教师的块编程的研究。此SMS有助于识别块编程工具、新兴技术、受众(教师或学生)以及正在进行块编程的学习空间。

期刊介绍： INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION publishes original articles about theoretical, experimental and methodological studies in the fields of informatics (computer science) education and educational applications of information technology, ranging from primary to tertiary education. Multidisciplinary research studies that enhance our understanding of how theoretical and technological innovations translate into educational practice are most welcome. We are particularly interested in work at boundaries, both the boundaries of informatics and of education. The topics covered by INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION will range across diverse aspects of informatics (computer science) education research including: empirical studies, including composing different approaches to teach various subjects, studying availability of various concepts at a given age, measuring knowledge transfer and skills developed, addressing gender issues, etc. statistical research on big data related to informatics (computer science) activities including e.g. research on assessment, online teaching, competitions, etc. educational engineering focusing mainly on developing high quality original teaching sequences of different informatics (computer science) topics that offer new, successful ways for knowledge transfer and development of computational thinking machine learning of student''s behavior including the use of information technology to observe students in the learning process and discovering clusters of their working design and evaluation of educational tools that apply information technology in novel ways.
