Resumo:
Programming courses are basic in all courses in the area of computing. However, these
disciplines traditionally have a high rate of disapproval and contribute to avoidance in
these courses. To help minimize the problem, several tools have been proposed. In this
work the Robocode tool, which approaches object oriented programming, was analyzed. It
was researched which contents were taught in the programming disciplines that approach
this paradigm. These contents were confronted with the functionalities of Robocode, in
order to analyze if the tool covers the themes taught. It was verified that the tool can be
useful to the learning of object orientation in a partial way, since previous knowledge is
necessary to be able to use it.
