USING SCRATCHJR FOR DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING: YOUNG CHILDREN'S NARRATIVES ABOUT THIS PROCESS

This article has the general objective of understanding how the use of ScratchJr can contribute to the process of development and learning with children from Kindergarten I and what they narrate about this process. For the accomplishment of the proposed objectives, a research was carried out in a qualitative approach, with a literature review and field research. The data generation instruments were participant observation, the written record of the children through the researcher's diaries, semi-structured interviews and the use of technological and multimedia resources: ScratchJr, photographs and videos. The main authors who contributed to the reasoning were: Belloni (2001), Kenski (2003, 2008), Levy (1999), among others. We conclude that interactions and learning occurred, since the children actively participated in the proposed activities, however there is always a need to learn more, looking for training to always improve our practice and provide a quality education for our children.
