Resumen

The objective of the study was to determine to what extent the model of active methodologies developed computational thinking in the infants of the Futuros Navegantes institution, Guayaquil 2021. Applied research was used with the quasi-experimental design, considering two groups of infants from the initial level 2, the first called control group with 30 children and the second 31 students for the experimental group. Applying an observation guide with 20 items, with a polytomous response option. The descriptive results revealed in the pre-test of the experimental group that the infants were at the beginning level with 96.77%, differing in the post-test with 61.29% in process and 19.35% reached achievement. Admitting the affirmative hypothesis and rejecting the null hypothesis, concluding that the active methodologies model made a significant difference in computational thinking, as well as in logical thinking, problem solving and creative thinking.
