SUMMARY:

The dissertation presented here is situated in the debate about the importance of stimulating, since the Early Years of Elementary School, skills such as logical reasoning and problem solving, pointed out by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) as essential for the citizens of the 21st century. The research presents Computational Thinking (PC) as a means of stimulating these skills, from the development of strategies to take it to the most different classrooms, considering different social, economic and cultural contexts, in order to democratize access. to this type of knowledge. In this sense, the general objective is to develop didactic-pedagogical strategies for elementary school teachers to teach Computational Thinking from classics of children's literature. To achieve this objective, specific objectives for the research were listed, namely: a) To analyze the previous knowledge of teachers in the Initial Years of Elementary School about the PC; b) Develop and validate CP activities that can be replicated in different contexts; c) Produce an e-book with the systematization of the concepts and activities worked during the research. The methodology used throughout the work is based on the principles of action research and is guided by the steps indicated in the work of Gil (2002), being carried out, at first, a study of works on Computational Thinking and new technologies (BRACKMANN , 2017), production of didactic material (FILATRO and CAIRO, 2015), children's literature and development of skills and abilities (BNCC), and then the production of a didactic material on the teaching of CT, having as target audience elementary school teachers. Based on the studies carried out and the proposal implemented, the research revealed the feasibility of working with the PC from classics of children's literature, since children's narratives facilitate the understanding of the concepts studied. The systematization of the process resulted in the production of an e-book for teachers, containing reports of experiences, a set of activities based on children's stories and suggestions for PC classes that do not require digital resources for execution. Thus, this work points to the importance of developing strategies to expand the teaching of computational thinking in the face of the diversity of educational realities in Brazil.
