Abstract(s)
The GEN10S Portugal project has been offering Scratch
programming courses, with a 15-hour duration, in face-to-face
mode, to groups of students and two or more teachers of each
class, from schools that are project members. Two Scratch
teachers per class, hired by the project, have also participated
in 12 of these 15 hours, supporting the activities. When the
schools’ face-to-face activities stopped, in January 2021, a 12-
hour Scratch course was tested. This course was then replicated
eleven times, between July and August 2021, involving 132
students. In this paper, we will use a qualitative methodology to
analyse the perceptions of the students involved about the course
they had the opportunity to participate. We will also look at the
teachers' evaluation of their final work, carried out in groups,
to try to understand if a methodology, totally based on online
training, can have satisfactory results with students attending
the 5th and 6th grade. The results achieved point out to the
success of the courses, having obtained very positive opinions
from the students who attended it and most of the final works,
done by the students, have been classified above average, when
comparing them with all those that were carried out throughout
the GEN10S project.
