Connecting students to IT using low-code development environments to promote public health and digital literacy
Description
The technological revolution of the last decades has contributed to the consolidation of a new social paradigm known as knowledge society or information society. This paradigm is reflected in a globalized and multilingual world, full of economic, commercial, political, social, and cultural relations, where professional specialization is a necessity. Aiming to help achieve this specialization, the educational scenario supports ICT teachers in expanding students’ skills in a way they are not just passive consumers of technology, but active content creators too. Learning how to code can support students’ engagement in the development of innovative solutions that benefit the health of their community, while developing general problem-solving skills central to success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) curricula and careers. By learning how to code students go from being passive users of apps, digital content, and web pages to actively participate in their creation with meaningful purpose.
