This paper addresses a study carried out in the context of the Higher Level Teaching Specialization in Didactics of Computer Science for Primary Education, whose design and implementation was carried out by a team of teachers from a local Public University (Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires- UNICEN) and a Higher Institute of Teacher and Technical Training (ISFDyT No. 166). The goal of this work is to inquire about the constructions of didactic sequences carried out by primary level teachers who are studying the Specialization. These sequences were designed as part of the work carried out during the courses of the modules of Problem Solving with Computers, Introduction to Programming 1 and Integrative Practice II of the Specialization, where pedagogical-didactic contents and methodologies were addressed for teaching, in the primary level, the control structures, a basic concept in programming.
