The educational proposal presented in this master degree research is aimed for supporting the primarly school teachers’ development through the use of the Scratch programming language, which can be mastered by learning how to send commands aligned with pedagogical and methodological goals in the teaching of sciences to be executed by a computer. In the end, learning how to send such commands will left primarly school teachers to acquire a new knowledge. Additionally, this research is composed by three parts as follows: 1) presentation about the Scratch visual programming language; 2) important considerations about how learning programming can impact in the teacher’s development; 3) explanation about the methodology for implementing actions by programming with Scratch to learn sciences. Last, but not least, this research lists allbibliographic references, as well as appendices and all supporting materials for the proposed actions. It is hoped that the proposal presented will be representative so that future teachers can experience the use of the visual programming language Scratch, to build teacher knowledge and to potentiate the learning of science contents in basic education, inside a perspective of knowledge construction.
