Using a robot sensitive to color and distance, children are able to use everyday objects in order to interact with it and program its movements. An eleven session intervention program using this robot was designed with the objective of creating playful learning instances were children would practice abilities associated with what is generally thought of as computational thinking. We'll assess children's computational thinking, fluid intelligence, working memory, planning, sequencing, number recognition and magnitude comparison, vocabulary, mental rotation, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility to test for cognitive effects of the intervention. An active control in which children interact with the robot by remotely controlling it was used.","PeriodicalId":229069,"journal":{"name":"2019 XIV Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125300364","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}

This paper aims to indicate the aspects to consider in the selection of an educational repository of 3D objects, in addition to the characteristics of a repository such as interoperability, functionality, interactivity and standardization. To facilitate the reuse of 3D objects a distinctive feature is the real-time interaction with each of the stored resources, this is possible thanks to the use of the WebGL standard. For the selection of the repository a descriptive investigation was carried out where variables such as metadata and technology were triggers for the selection. As a result, the Sketchfab repository was selected and adapted because it complied with the evaluation characteristics proposed in which 54 3D UTPL models were uploaded. It can be concluded that it is necessary to promote the use of own metadata for 3D objects in the repositories.","PeriodicalId":229069,"journal":{"name":"2019 XIV Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114553390","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}

This application allows parents or guardians of deaf children to be taught the sign language that allows them to communicate adequately with their children. The tests were conducted with 10 parents in the district of Andahuaylas in Apurímac-Peru.

This paper brings a comparative study of EDM impact, using institutional data and trace data generated by a virtual learning environment to predict academic failure or success. For this, we created a model of educational data mining using logistic regression as a classifier and cross validation as a test method. Logistic Regression is widely used as a classifier (or predictor) in educational data mining. The developed model was applied to a public data set of 32,593 students, distributed among seven courses. The results show that the application of the proposed model in the trace data favors excellent predictions, on average 42% better, in relation to using just the institutional data. The results also revealed that it is better to separate the trace data from the institutional data in the model application, since the gain in the prediction is negligible and the computational time spent is around four times greater if the both data sets are combined. In addition to contributing to the findings, we also believe that our methodology can be re-applied by researchers, educators and education managers.","PeriodicalId":229069,"journal":{"name":"2019 XIV Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121434197","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}
