In the last decades the area of informatics had an exponential growth. This led to a high number of young students being attracted to higher education courses in the IT area. However, many students face difficulties when they have to learn programming. This often causes frustration and even dropout for many students. This paper presents a tool designed plugin that allows students to build programs using flowcharts and see the animation of the execution of those programs. The main objective is to facilitate the comprehension and application of basic programming concepts in programs that may solve common introductory problems.
Student failure and commonly expressed difficulties in programming disciplines suggest that traditional approaches are not the most appropriate for many students. In this paper we present SICAS, a learning tool design...

Student failure and commonly expressed difficulties in programming disciplines suggest that traditional approaches are not the most appropriate for many students. In this paper we present SICAS, a learning tool designed to help students in the development of basic algorithmic and programming skills. With SICAS students can design, simulate, test and compare algorithms for proposed problems. We also report some evaluation findings, current changes and future extensions of the tool.
