In response to this demand, a pedagogical activity was developed and executed to facilitate students in applying ethical theories to occupational and societal challenges while enhancing their critical thinking abilities. This activity involves students participating in a debate where they are assigned a moral stance to uphold and must utilize one of the ethical theories explored in class to bolster their case. This paper offers an in-depth account of the conception and execution of this educational activity, as well as the encouraging results observed. Furthermore, the paper showcases the scenario utilized in the activity, which outlines a professional conundrum in the realm of Computer Engineering. The findings of this educational activity indicate its efficacy as a teaching instrument for ethics in engineering programs, with potential applicability to other engineering fields. By integrating such pedagogical activities into engineering programs, educators can empower students with essential ethical values and skills to tackle intricate ethical issues in their professional and social spheres while also fostering critical thinking and encouraging dialogue among students.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10443691","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140135231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selected population consisted of 200 third-grade high school students, with the experimental sample comprising 30 students selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling, based on inclusion criteria such as technological skills and tool management. The activities developed detail learning sessions designed to develop various aspects of collaborative work using the Classcraft gamification platform. The data collection instrument includes a questionnaire divided into 5 dimensions: Positive interdependence, task interdependence, individual and group responsibility, interpersonal and small group skills, and internal team management. Each dimension contains items rated on a scale from 1 to 5. The pretest results showed that the majority of students had a regular level of collaborative work. However, in the posttest, a significant increase in the “Good” level was observed, indicating effective development of collaborative work following the intervention with the Classcraft platform. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the use of the Classcraft gamification platform had a positive impact on the development of collaborative work in high school students. The results suggest that the implementation of this platform contributed to strengthening internal team management skills and collaborative learning, improving interdependence, and individual and group responsibility among students. These findings support the initial hypothesis and underscore the importance of gamification in the educational context for promoting effective collaboration among students.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140550147","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}

Based on the empirical observation of a rejection by students of the use of these systems, the authors made the decision to completely replace their use with that of a version control system widely used for software development, Git, specifically for teaching students of the Computer Engineering career, for the Operating Systems course.
