It is shown as an innovative possibility that goes beyond the classic work with pencil and paper and even the work with specific software dedicated to diagramming. In particular, diagrams made in pencil and paper and diagrams elaborated with Araucaria software are compared through the construction of network graphs obtained by juxtaposing individual diagrams made by the students. The results show that there are no significant differences in the indices compared and that the verified variations respond to differences in the representation systems. Finally, the study suggests that the Network Analysis Software inaugurates a new form of diagrammatic cartographies with interest for the teaching of Logic.","PeriodicalId":278097,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116853075","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}

The ultimate purpose is to build skills in teachers to design more robust rubrics and thus to form an institutional bank of evaluation instruments to share among colleagues.

In these organizations, in addition to breakfast and lunch, they are offered school attendance in different subjects using the computer as a tool. Since 2007, advanced student and teacher volunteers of the Faculty of Informatics of the National University of La Plata UNLP [1] traveled to social diners in order to introduce computing concepts to children and teenagers with limited economic resources, mainly supporting their activities in the school. They participate in the project called “Inclusive Computing” accepted in several calls for extension projects of the Ministry of Education of Argentina [2]. This project basically aims to strengthen links between the University and the slums through the teaching of Informatics. During the year 2016, 30 children from the Green Hope and Los Robles social institutions were trained in Programming [3]. In this article, we will address the details of the educational process, the methodology used, the pedagogical resources used and the results obtained. Although the lack of resources, the disparity of previous training of the students and the unfavorable context where they live, the results were highly satisfactory, with a high level of participation and interest.
