Abstract

 This paper recovers the student's demand to make sense of learning programming in technical schools in Córdoba city. Through a case analysis, a qualitative research was carried out in which categories were built as interviews, observations and focus groups in technical schools oriented to programming were analyzed. As a result, it was identified that the student group linked the work in computing as something not very visible that was directly related to not finding meaning or usefulness in what they were learning. This allows us to address some reflections on the importance, not only of what we are going to teach (content) but also how we are going to teach it (its form), which allows us to continue contributing to the development of the didactics of Computer Science.
