We believe that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. All of us consider that we have an identity, a singular way of being and that this makes us unique and different from others. Nonetheless, we eventually end up leading pretty similar lives. Public life makes us the same, private life differentiates us. We, as modern individuals, value our private identity. This was not always the case, since in ancient times, it was the public subject and not the private one that stood out. However, what is a fact is that humanity has always been defined by plurality. This paper aims, firstly, to point out the importance that for humanity has the development of identity. Secondly, it tries to show to what extent this development requires times and spaces of solitude. Third, we will describe the possibilities that a young person has today in this regard in a world governed by information and communication technology (ICT). Finally, we will conclude by affirming that, if we want to raise unique and responsible individuals with moral capacity, it will be necessary to promote among young people the possibility of enjoying times and spaces of solitude; that is, times and spaces in which they can be with themselves and disconnect.","PeriodicalId":430095,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133373848","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}

For this reason, the faculty had to change the training to a completely online model, in a very short period of time and without the possibility of planning the process of change. The COVID-19 remains in our lives and continues to affect the training model. Currently, there are teachers using online training, face-to-face classes and there are even dual models where the faculty teaches both presence-based and online classes at the same time. For this reason, there is a need for training methods capable of adapting to different situations. In this work the Flipped Classroom model (a method used in face-to-face classes to make students more active) has been adapted to a hybrid model which can be implemented in any situation at any time. The model was applied during confinement in programming laboratories and the impact of this model has been measured through the works generated by students during the continuous evaluation. The result has been highly positive because the number of works presented by students the generated academic doubts have increased, as well as the average grades obtained during the continuous evaluation.","PeriodicalId":430095,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125457964","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}

Programming is part of the curriculum of many courses, but especially in computer science, and most teaching and learning is problematic. Despite all the efforts of the researchers, it seems to be difficult to find an effective method of teaching that is suitable for all students. This paper describes a set of possible instructional strategies for teaching and learning and its application to an introductory programming course. The goal of utilizing a smart learning system was to increase student scores, pass rate, and increase efficiency for both students and teachers. The set of instructional strategies based on technology was implemented in an introductory programming course over several academic years. Data were collected and the results are analyzed. The results show that there are significant improvements in the grade distributions, the pass/fail rate, in the interest and participation of the students in the different activities developed throughout the course, greater motivation and passion in solving problems, and the more efficient use of teacher time and effort.","PeriodicalId":430095,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124147189","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 pedagogical proposal involved conducting a critical debate from a pragma-dialectical perspective, which took place utilizing the collaborative software Digalo. Results are based on the collection of information through various tools, including a final activity report for each debate position, individual introspective reports and a group activity evaluation of the principal elements of the pedagogical activity. Results indicate that the computer-supported intervention favored argumentation skills related to critical debate and the activation of self-regulated strategies.

Scientific practices based on OS are increasingly determined by laws and decrees that regulate a research culture, which results in the need for institutional technological ecosystems that should be interoperable and respond to the guidelines derived from the OS movement. A lot of research institutions in the world already have regulations on these practices, while others are developing or seeking consensus. In this work we present a doctoral research plan, focused on studying the culture of open science research and open practices in a Mexican university, so that, derived from the information obtained offer a proposal of a technological ecosystem to contribute to the research exercise of the institution, facing the 0S scheme. The objective is to offer the researchers of the institution the necessary elements to do their work under the OS context, by offering an ecosystem that allows the social appropriation of Science and Technology in the region. The advances in research to date allow us to recognize the taxonomic elements of OS and the theoretical origins of this proposal.

Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) are a good tool to boost Climate literacy through education to address this issue due to their characteristics. We have used this tool to investigate the Climate Competence in primary and secondary teachers and developed a research program around this issue. In this paper, we look into one particular problem of the MOOCs: The high dropout rate. We discuss what are some of the reasons for this high dropout rate in the literature and describe how the MOOC can be designed to overcome this issue. We also look, into the different characteristics that online formation can have to affect this rate.

For this, the application of thermal stress is used, by immersing the hands in cold water to visualize the reperfusion of the hands. Learning, based on the visualization and analysis of thermographic images, allows the acquisition of specific competences at the university level. In graduate studies such as physiotherapy and nursing, the use of virtual tools and materials that allow the acquisition of skills and technical knowledge is essential for the job performance of future professionals. The application of this methodology is proposed in practical sessions of subjects in the area of knowledge of Physiology, to demonstrate and facilitate the understanding of the circulatory system. This approach is framed within the discipline of virtual laboratories since the virtual materials generated can be used for the acquisition of skills and practical competencies, as well as for the evaluation of competencies in e-learning courses. In this way, by recording a pedagogical video that shows a short practice, 5 minutes long, it is possible to establish the necessary knowledge bases to expand them later.
