Abstract

Abstract: The present study makes a qualitative and bibliographic review of Popper's main ideas, based, initially, on the discussions of the problems of induction and demarcation, in which the author approaches the problems in the justifications of the experiments. Another aspect raised is the difficulty in distinguishing between the mathematical and logical areas of the others. Furthermore, it focuses on the Popperian defense of falsifiability and verifiability within the scientific method and the hypothetical constructive process. From Popper's point of view, we intend to answer the following question: How can Popperian deductive logic contribute to the teaching of programming? The idea of ??deductive logic and the Popperian deductive method stands out, with which, knowing their properties, it is possible to formulate a methodology to reach the formulation of a certain law. The points discussed by authors such as Silveira (2009) and Ellwanger are also brought up; Alves (2016), which demonstrate the importance and potential of Popper's vision in science teaching. Finally, an application of the key ideas discussed in the context of the concept of inheritance in programming teaching is proposed, thus presenting the flexibility and timelessness of Popper's conjectures.
