In 2022, the Ministerio de Educación Nacional, publishes the Orientaciones Curriculares para el Área de Tecnología e Informática en la Educación Básica y Media, including programming as a didactic strategy for the development of Computational Thinking; in turn, it proposes the use of digital tools such as Scratch and Code.org, in order to close the digital gap and improve fluency in the creation and use of technology of elementary, secondary and middle school students in the national territory. Likewise, the educational approach STEM+H (from human rights) and STEM+G (with a gender approach) is proposed.

According to UNESCO statistics, by July 2019, the world average rate of female researchers reached 29.3%. Although great efforts have been made to reduce this gap, there are family and social factors that promote gender stereotypes at the time of vocational choice of women and men, especially in disciplines such as mathematics, engineering and computer science. 

Thus, this document includes theoretical bases to conduct a study to determine the impact of the implementation of a learning path of the Code.org platform, for the development of Computational Thinking, in cognitive and socioemotional skills of ninth grade students, as well as in their vocational choice. This in order to guide future research and serve as a basis for the implementation of digital tools with a gender approach, to reduce the existing labor gaps in STEM areas.
