Abstract

Abstract: This research work determines the benefits that the Scratch tool in learning programming concepts, this is through Strengthening your knowledge of programming concepts. The research is Mixed type with descriptive scope. Data was collected from 39 students through the pre-test and post-test technique that was reflected in a ten-question questionnaire. After the initial diagnosis, the deficiencies in the different indicators and in Based on this, various sessions were developed that involve the Integration of the five indicators; abstraction, parallelism, logical thinking, synchronization and cycles. Once Once the sessions were over, the post-test was applied, when analyzing the results it was possible determine the improvement in the level of understanding of programming concepts in the students. In this way it was possible to verify that the teaching of programming accompanied by active teaching strategies and friendly programming environments such as Scratch contributes to a significant acquisition of knowledge.
