Abstract

Programming teaching is currently included in a wide range of academic and technical courses mostly due to technological advances. Despite the fact that this approach is reaching more and more students, the literature has described a set of limitations in the acquisition of this complex learning and presented microworlds as a possible solution. Although they have been closely associated with constructivist models combined with the 4C/ID model, they have shown promising results in recent studies. This chapter explores the use of microworlds associated with the 4C/ID model to facing the learning difficulties on programming in technical courses. It also presents a set of practical examples that the reader could put into practice.
