Diego E. F. Pereira; Rodrigo D. Seabra – Informatics in Education, 2023
The teaching and learning of programming has proven to be a challenge for students of computer courses, since it presents challenges and requires complex skills for the good development of students. The traditional teaching model is not able to motivate students and arouse their interest in the topic. The tool proposed herein, the REA-LP, aims to…

Garcia, Fabrício Wickey da Silva; Oliveira, Sandro Ronaldo Bezerra; Carvalho, Elielton da Costa – Informatics in Education, 2023
The contents taught in the programming subjects have a great relevance in the formation of computing students. However, these subjects are characterized by high failure rates, as they require logical reasoning and mathematical knowledge. Thus, establishing knowledge through the subject of algorithms can help students to overcome these difficulties…

Carraher, Terezinha Nunes; Schliemann, Analucia Dias – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1985
Fifty Brazilian children aged seven-13 were individually given addition and subtraction exercises. Counting was the preferred procedure, with use of school-taught algorithms limited. Some children decomposed numbers into tens and units and then worked at both levels. They rarely referred to previous results when doing related exercises. (MNS)

Carraher, Terezinha Nunes; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1987
Sixteen Brazilian third graders aged 8-13 were given problems involving multidigit computation. School-taught algorithms were likely to be used in school-taught problems, with little carry-over to real problem situations, but resulted in more incorrect answers. (MNS)

Schliemann, Analucia Dias; And Others – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1993
A 14-year-old Brazilian boy in the fourth grade was given 170 problems orally, each asking for the sum of 2 2-digit numbers. Responses indicated he had invented his own algorithm for addition, similar to the school one, based largely on his experiences with money. (Contains 13 references.) (JAF)
