Computational thinking in the discussions of the National Congress of Education: A systematic mapping from 2014 to 2020

Abstract

This paper aims to present an overview of works related to computational thinking in all editions of CONEDU (National Congress of Education). To this end, a systematic mapping was carried out with the annals of CONEDU and a search was performed using the terms computational thinking, robotics and programming, present in the titles of all published works. The results showed that of the 21,510 studies found, only 99 fit the selection criteria of phases 1 and 2 of our mapping. Considering only the works that mention computational thinking, we found only 13 studies. These studies were analyzed in relation to the following aspects: year of publication, theoretical references used, type of research and target audience. What is concluded is that there is a lack of research in the annals of the event that discuss computational thinking in the educational scenario.
