Resolution of Algorithmic Problems and Learning Objects: A Review of the Literature

  • María Luisa Velasco Ramírez Universidad Veracruzana

Abstract

The process of solving algorithmic problems has been identified as a great conflict topic between university students in computer science area. To try to understand those difficulties that appear repeatedly in the resolution of algorithmic problems, and if learning objects have been used in order to diminished them, a systematic literature review was carried out to summarize studies on solving problem models and the use of learning objects as a techno-pedagogical strategy. Initially, a search was made in databases such as the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and 35 studies published in the last 10 years were selected. In a second phase, 26 were the final studies that met the defined quality criteria. The review revealed the need to develop the capacity for abstraction and analysis to identify and understand the problem in students, as well as the interest in defining and manipulating strategies that encourage algorithmic thinking as problem-solving skills, distinguishing between learning objects as an alternative for their development.
