Abstract

The need arises from the insufficient development of logical-mathematical thinking, which makes it difficult for students to create solutions to different exercises; this leads to frustration with the programming subject. The importance of the proposal lies in that, through the application of a methodological approach, students can decompose, review, and analyze exercises, reducing the time required to find solutions. This approach allows for simplifying complex cases and developing a sequence of steps that lead to solutions through the use of computational tools.

The present research aims to propose a structured procedure for learning programming. The study adopts a quantitative approach and uses the quasi-experimental method, with a diagnosis carried out through the Román González test, which measures problem-solving skills. The evaluation will be conducted with 74 students from the first year of Unified General High School at the “La Inmaculada” Educational Unit in Latacunga-Ecuador. The result is a methodological procedure with four phases: diagnosis, planning, application, and
