- Abstract
This research emerged from the implementation in kindergarten context of the curriculum "Powerful Ideas And The KIBO Robot Curriculum: The Traditional Children's Stories, for The Integration Of Programming And Robotics" developed by (Miranda-Pinto, 2021) in a perspective of replicating this previously designed curriculum. Case study was usedto observe skills associated with computational thinking, in a specific group of pre-school children, having been implemented in June/July 2021, with a duration of 20 hours. The main data collection tool, Positive Technological Development framework (Bers, 2018); (Bers, 2012) was used to observe children's behavior in their activities with the KIBO robot. The results reveal maximum levels of the indicators of the various dimensions (6 «C´s»), which in preschool represents engagement and significant learning. However, this work would have had more consistent results if it had been developed during the whole school year, which is an ideal situation when integrating robotics into preschool curricular activities. Previous research (Miranda-Pinto et al., 2021) allowed us to understand that the most complex programming concepts can be worked on when the work progresses at a playful pace, parallel to the children's learning and gradually throughout the school year.
