The objective of this study is to qualitatively analyze the teaching and learning of selected Physics and Mathematics subjects through experiential learning, employing an Automated Guided Vehicle as a Learning Object for practical activities. The research led to the development of a Didactic Sequence, which was implemented with students enrolled in the Integrated Technical High School Course. The Experiential Learning proposed, aimed to involve students as the primary actors in the learning process, engaging them actively in constructing their own knowledge. It was observed that the use of AGV emerges as a relevant educational tool, capable of enhancing the teaching and learning processes, and providing students with a more tangible and meaningful experience, combining work, science, and culture through activities that embrace a polytechnic education.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 4","pages":"344-353"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136257361","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 shows that using interactive digital tools helped increase student interest and active participation. The assessment and the presentation of the content were positively influenced by the pedagogical thinking and negatively influenced by the technological thinking. This means that there are still some teachers who continue to evaluate only for the purpose of measuring academic performance and not to stimulate learning, even though there are teachers in distance education who have increased formative evaluation.

This has inspired ideas for new lesson plans, instructional strategies, teacher guidance, and, most importantly, new approaches to grading these skills. Aim: This article presents the results of a systematic review initially focused on identifying the various ways of assessing CT in school and their relationship to relevant CT skills. Method: We conducted a systematic review of the literature to assess CT in schools. This review applied a semi-automatic search for specific terms within the selected papers. These terms came from the analysis of several established definitions of CT. Results: We present a set of the most representative competencies and concepts developed in various experiences, in which the main topic is the assessment of CT, as well as some that have not been developed and that may be the subject of future works. Conclusions: The evaluation of CT in the school requires multiple approaches; it is a challenge to have a single method or strategy to evaluate everything that CT implies.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 4","pages":"319-330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136209837","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}

Adapting to new technological resources and tools is also an important skill, which also builds on the curious and inquisitive nature associated with data science, and is fuelled by rapidly changing data science ecosystems in industry. In this regard, Project-based learning (PBL) has clear benefits for engaging students in data science courses. However, the exploratory character of data science projects, which do not start with a clear specification of what to do, but some data to analyse, pose some challenges to the application of PBL. Our aim is to improve students’ data science learning experiences and outcomes through the use of PBL. In this paper, we share our experiences with PBL and present an assessment rubric that focuses on value, innovation and narrative, which can be used as a scaffolding structure for data science courses. Our analysis of a PBL data science course at MSc level, together with data from student surveys, shows how the methodology and rubric align well with the exploratory nature of data science and the proactive, curious, and inquisitive skills required of data scientists.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 3","pages":"295-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43712214","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 is crucial for engineering students who continuously quantify and anal-yze system operations. In the current context, where in-person and virtual work blend together thanks to technological advances, professional education must establish flexible alternatives to assimilate phenomenological knowledge without sacrificing essential aspects of real experimentation. Remote laboratories emerge as an alternative to strengthen these aspects through distance learning. This paper presents a proposed and developed functional architecture scheme for remote interaction-based mechanical physics laboratories, allowing the configuration of initial operating conditions, execution of experiments, and data collection for three fundamental physics practices: free fall, Hooke’s law, and parabolic motion. The proposed architecture is scalable under the Internet of Things approach, using the necessary hardware and software elements with user-friendly interaction interfaces, making the developed remote laboratories a viable option for engineering students’ education, without requiring physical presence for their execution.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 3","pages":"305-312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47208641","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 is especially relevant when a fundamentally practical and progressive learning approach is required, such as in introductory programming courses. This article describes an intervention conducted in a first-year subject of the Computer Engineering degree called “Programming Fundamentals”. This subject poses many challenges related to the introduction of abstract concepts, the completion of programming exercises in a specific language, and the monitoring of the pace of proposed learning activities so that students can achieve adequate learning. Based on academic results from several semesters, it was decided to make an intervention that modified the planning of learning activities to maintain motivation and learning pace throughout the semester, while reducing the time between completing the activities and receiving feedback. An analysis of the results following the change shows that more students complete the core activities, with a decrease in dropouts from continuous assessment and an increase in the number of students passing the course. Data analysis has been validated using propensity score matching, a method for evaluating interventions with a quasi-experimental design.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 3","pages":"287-294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47088042","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 methodology followed is quantitative, in which an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 24 students, were selected through convenience random sampling. In the experimental group, 25 learning sessions were conducted using the Duolingo application over a period of 3 months, while the control group received no treatment. A Pre-Test and a Post-Test, extracted from the official “British Council” website, were implemented. Entrance tests, feedback tests, and exit tests were administered. The results demonstrated that the Duolingo application has a positive and direct influence on the consolidation of the competence to read various types of written texts in English as a foreign language. A significant improvement was evident compared to the initial results with the exit test, with 77.3% of the sample achieving or surpassing the expected level of performance. In conclusion, participants expressed interest in various aspects of Duolingo, such as forums, podcasts, and identifiable themes in each lesson. However, two drawbacks have been identified, namely occasional issues with speech recognition and limitations in advanced language skills.","PeriodicalId":38963,"journal":{"name":"Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje","volume":"18 3","pages":"278-286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46149159","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}
