Abstract

This article presents the research results obtained from the educational Thinking Challenge project, on Computational Thinking, applied for students of the academic program Technology in Software Development of the Universidad de San Buenaventura (Bogotá-Colombia). The aim of the project was to increase computational thinking development in the students from this university academic program. The learning environment applied on the project is supported by the creation of a course in computational thinking structured in four learning units. The research was carried out through a mixed approach, favoring the interpretive perspective. The methodological design of evaluative research corresponding to the CIPP model was applied. The results showed that it is possible to determine an improvement in the computational thinking skills of the participants. Likewise, a high expectation was motivated in relation to the incorporation of computational thinking in their academic training for a future professional performance; furthermore, the didactic strategies that strengthened this process were identified.
