SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP IN COMPUTING IN HIGH SCHOOL: USING VISUAL-G AS A PRACTICAL PROGRAMMING TOOL

Abstract

This work is a report of experiences lived during the Supervised Internship in Computing II, held at the Thomé Ferreira Santiago State School, in the modality of High School. The Supervised Internship is part of the Degree Course in Computing of the Higher Education Center of Careiro Castanho - (NESCAC), of the University of the State of Amazonas-UEA. During the practical activities, information was collected in the field notebook of the students, referring to the experiences lived during the 3 stages that make up the methodological procedures, with the first stage of observation, followed by the stage of co-participation. This experience was important to get to know the school, the manager, the teachers, the staff and the students, in addition to experiencing the reality in the classroom, to know the teaching and learning process, the profile of the students, the teaching methodology, seeking to identify problems to be solved in the regency stage. The target audience that aroused interest for the elaboration of the regency lesson plan was the class of the 2nd year 2, and applied in the discipline of Mathematics, with the help of the teacher. The objective of the class was to explore the concepts and practices of programming using Visual-G, awakening the ability to concentrate, the ability to work in teams, interpretation and problem solving. The use of visual-G software to teach basic programming reinforces the need to seek viable alternatives to combat students' disinterest and make classes more participatory.
