This thesis aims to explore a bakhtinian’s perspective of concrete utterance as bases for exercises and projects to teaching and learning computer programing. First, we problematize “computational thinking” as a concept and its reception at an especific frame of Informatics at Education field using a documental/bibliographic survey with papers published between 2015 and 207 at WalgProg, a workshop part of Congresso Brasileiro de Informática na Educação (CBIE). Second, we define “computational thinking” as something very simmilar to what Computer Science calls abstraction. As we found a lack of specification in the way this concept is deal with, we propose to understand it looking from a more materialist approach supported by authors like Valentin Voloshinov, Mikhail Bakhtin, Lev Vigotski, Henry Lefebvre, Alvaro Vieira Pinto and others. This perspective change enables to understand as a mediation process between two concrete stances and language as a concrete activity and not just an abstracted system of signs. Trying to acomodate some questions that emerges when we understand abstraction and language, we propose to understand computer program writing as a concrete utterance, specially, in Bakhtin’s way. Finally, we present a documental survay based on material (e-mails and source codes) genereted by three learning activities which tries to show differences from working with a bakhtinian’s approach to write a text.
