Popis: The learning programming is an arduous and complex process, which is why many individuals leave it quickly. One of the most frustrating tasks in this process is the debugging of the programs, which consists of understanding, locating and solving a bug. In this work two studies are carried out to extract the main strategies and resources used by teams of children to debug programs based on the block paradigm. The first study, from secondary sources, is a review of the literature from which it is conceptualized about the purification, its strategies and resources used. The second study, based on primary sources, is a case study in which the debugging strategies that a group of children implicitly use to understand, locate, and solve bugs are explored of programs not made by them. The studies have allowed to establish a set of strategies and resources, as well as a life cycle for the debugging of block-based programs.
