The line of research was based on the qualitative approach that considers the analysis of data collected through the instruments applied to the subjects, which thanks to them it was possible to make a critique and obtain the contributions and opinions that allowed the foundation of the proposal. In the research, the descriptive study type is applied, which, through the observation guides and the application of the focus group technique guide, allowed obtaining information from the subjects regarding the management and knowledge of the Scratch tool in the processes. educational. As a technique, participant observation was applied, and an observation sheet, which allowed the necessary information to be collected, the interview and the tool were also used through a guide with questions, another technique applied is the Focus Group to the legal representatives and the tool the question guide.
