Abstract

Nowadays, one of the biggest challenges in the Computer Education area is how to teach programming. In this context, this research aims to help beginners to develop their programming skills by teaching them how to program in a meaningful, incremental and systematic manner. To do this, my research main goal is to define teaching strategies in order to help the students to understand programming topics and, also, to help them in the reflection process of applying the right programming language structures to build their own programs. After that, the objective is to evaluate the proposed methodology through a mixed methods study.
