Among the measures provided by schools in their strategic plans, special mention should be made to teacher training in three key areas: methodological/didactic, organizational/pedagogical and civic/social. In order to ensure that the strategic plans of the schools from Tomar, Ourém and Ferreira do Zêzere are implemented, Os Templários (a training centre bringing together clusters of schools from various municipalities) has launched in partnership with the Laboratòrio de Tecnologia Educativa (LabTE) of the University of Coimbra and the Instituto Politécnico de Tomar, the Project MobEdu — Mobile Technologies and Devices in Education — that includes various workshops using computer applications. This contributed to meet the training needs of the clusters of schools which regarded the use of technology in education as one of the main areas of intervention. In order to measure the impact of the training actions among students, teachers and the schools themselves several case studies will be conducted in the Médio Tejo clusters of schools covered by the project.","PeriodicalId":173351,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE)","volume":"731 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131283794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given its novelty, there are no similar systems to compare with. Therefore, it is necessary to test OptimEx usability in order to enhance its design. A previous evaluation identified high usability but it also allowed identifying a number of elements to improve. In this paper, we present an enhanced version of OptimEx as well as the results of a second usability evaluation. The result is very high OptimEx usability.","PeriodicalId":173351,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133525936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this study, we intend to examine whether digital technology improving the number of success cases and decisionmaking in solving mathematical tasks involving repetition patterns, compared the tasks solved by using the standard blocks. This research, comparative in nature, was based on a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) data processing level. Our intervention was structured in 3 phases. In the first phase, the 23 students who made up the class solved 4 tasks with repeating patterns through a work record (repeating Patterns: ABAB, ABCABC, ABBABB e ABBCCABBCC). The responses of students, in the schedule of work, were analyzed through a holistic scale focused adaptation of [1], in which it was ranked each response between 0 to 2 points. From the ratings obtained by students, the class was divided into 2 homogenous groups. On the other hand, in the second phase, the students who were part of the Group (11 students) solved the same tasks using an applet, while students who comprised the Group B (12 students) solved the same tasks through manipulable material (standard blocks). To proceed to correction of the tasks of the group, we ran the ‘screenshots’ to computer screens for each task. On the other hand, the answers of the students of Group B were analyzed using not only to work but also the photos of the compositions performed. In the third stage we proposed the same tasks, in which all students in the class, decided the issues through a worksheet. After the data analysis we found that there were no statistically significant differences between the results obtained by the students who worked with the applet compared students who worked with manipulable materials. Although both groups of the 1st to the 3rd stage have improved substantially in terms of decision-making, as well as the number of replies considered assertive, but not so complete that work with the applet was better for the work with manipulable materials.","PeriodicalId":173351,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132919364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Spain, teaching is regulated with RDA (Royal Decree Act) 89/2014. According to this RDA, the subject “Technology and Digital Resources for Learning Improvement” is configured as an Autonomic Free Configuration Subject, and in the case of Autonomous Community of Madrid (ACM), the subject is compulsory. This paper presents the results of a survey sent to 318 educational centers in Madrid. The goal of the survey was to find out the current situation of programming teaching in Primary Education. Forty six schools filled and returned the survey showing that: (a) 100% of the schools consider that teaching programming in Primary Education is useful; and, (b) 39.1% of the schools are unable to teach programming because they find difficult to accommodate the timetable of the subject, and (or) they lack teachers with enough knowledge and training for the subject. In the schools where the subject is taught, most teachers rely on using Scratch or games, but they lack an adequate methodology. When the schools were asked about the possibility of implementing a methodology based on metaphors, 63% of them approved the idea, and 61% were in favor of applying it in their classrooms.","PeriodicalId":173351,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125696418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
