lenguaje de programación; pensamiento computacional; infancia; alfabetizaciónResumen
Este artículo describe el trabajo realizado por la autora y su equipo de colaboradores sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje de programación gratuito, ScratchJr,, para niños y niñas de 5 a 7 años. Luego, detalla su enfoque pedagógico llamado “Código como otro Lenguaje” (CAL-Coding as Another Language) que entiende la enseñanza de programación no sólo como resolución de problemas sino como una actividad expresiva que permite a los individuos manipular un sistema simbólico situado socialmente, con una gramática y sintaxis, para comunicar ideas y crear artefactos compartibles. El artículo describe ScratchJr y CAL como si fuera una plaza donde los niños aprenden jugando, inventando, creando y socializando.
