PSeInt Technological tool to develop logical-mathematical intelligence in structured computer programming

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have an increasing influence on the way of communicating, learning and life; and that the challenge is to use these technologies effectively so that they serve the interests of the students as a whole and of the entire educational community as didactic strategies to support the students, in their arduous task of learning topics related to the development of the logic of computer programming, since for them it is a factor that makes it difficult to solve problems in algorithmic form, independently of any programming language. In the search to improve the teaching-learning process in the fundamentals of the logic of computer programming, the present work aims to describe the experience where the first semester students of the Computer Systems Engineering of the Technological of Advanced Studies of the East of the State of Mexico (TESOEM) learned to develop their skills to understand such logic, necessary to solve problems in algorithmic form using a psedolanguage as a pseudocode, where the PseInt program was used as an educational support tool significantly influencing the understanding of this logic.
