Abstract

ABSTRACT

Learning to program involves understanding a set of theories and practices, knowledge about language paradigms, syntax and semantics, logical, mathematical, and abstract and algorithmic reasoning skills. These aspects make learning difficult for beginning students, being a subject with high failure and dropout rates. Several studies have pointed out the visual and block programming environments as tools that can help overcome some of the initial barriers. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review on the use of the MIT App Inventor block programming environment in teaching and learning to program. To this end, a systematic search of articles published between 2011 and 2020 was carried out in six of the main databases related to computer science and education. The results of the 10 articles analyzed highlighted the potential of the environment for learning programming concepts and also revealed the lack of experimental studies that analyze the effect of its use on students' learning and motivation.

Keywords: Block-based programming. Learning programming. MIT app inventor. Systematic review.
