Los países del mundo han incluido en sus agendas educativas la incorporación del Pensamiento Computacional (PC) en la Educación Básica. A pesar de los esfuerzos de las autoridades escolares, los sistemas escolares tienen dificultades en desarrollar esta propuesta en las aulas tradicionales. En este artículo presentamos dos experiencias basadas en el uso de tecnologías y metodologías educativas que han ayudado a superar estas dificultades, logrando llevar el PC al aula de forma eficaz para los estudiantes, profesorado y centros escolares. Las experiencias se han desarrollado en colaboración con instituciones educativas y ministerios de educación de dos países de Latinoamérica. Las tecnologías educativas utilizadas son los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA), los sistemas de colaboración síncronos, y los entornos de programación online Scratch/Snap. Las metodologías educativas desarrolladas se basan en el trabajo colaborativo profesorado-tutores, profesorado-estudiantes, y estudiantes-estudiantes. Ambas, tecnologías y metodologías educativas, se han utilizado de forma conjunta para desarrollar a través del PC la capacidad de nuestros estudiantes para resolver problemas relacionados con la vida diaria y con el mundo laboral. Countries in the world have included in their educational agendas the incorporation of Computational Thinking (CT) in Compulsory Education. Despite the efforts of the school authorities, the school systems have difficulties in developing this proposal in the traditional classrooms. In this article we present two experiences based on the use of educational technologies and methodologies that have helped overcome these difficulties by bringing the PC to the Classroom effectively for students, teachers and schools. Experiences have been developed in collaboration with educational institutions and ministries of education in two Latin American countries. The educational technologies used are virtual learning environments (VLE), synchronous collaboration systems, and Scratch / Snap online programming environments. The educational methodologies developed are based on collaborative work teachers-tutors, teachers-students, and students-students. Both educational technologies and methodologies have been used together to develop, through the PC, the ability of our students to solve problems related to daily life and the working world.

The education based on simulation is an educationalstrategy where students learn from their errors, developing skills, knowledge, competences,etc. in a controlled environment. During the process of teaching by simulation, it is necessaryto execute various types of assessments (diagnostic, summative, formative) in order tomake adjustments or changes in the educational process of the students, therefore identifying areas of opportunity for improvement. With the simulation, different processes can be taught, like interprofessionalism and collaborative work. Nowadays, there is a major concern for added safety and the quality of care for the patients and their families. Therefore, a WHO study group determined the basic interprofessional competences, and has been given the task of disseminating and promoting interprofessional education. Some educational institutions in the US, Canada and Europe have integrated interprofessional and collaborative work in simulation practices. All the activity by simulation must be evaluated in order to provide feedback to the participants and establish improvement strategies. The assessment of the interprofessional work focuses on the evaluation of common skills and competencies among various health professionals.

The City

In the years 1918–1939, Częstochowa was a multicultural city just like the entire Second Republic was a multicultural country. Groups of people different in the aspects of their ethnic origin, speaking different languages, belonging to different religions, and also representing different cultures co-existed in it; nevertheless, it was Jews that constituted the dominant minority as far as religion was concerned. Economic development, territorial growth, and also increase in the population, observed throughout the period referred to hereinabove, and, first and foremost, a constantly increasing headcount of Jewish minority, rendered it necessary to organise social-cultural and educational institutions, the lion’s share of which were charitable and philanthropic organisations. The demographic structure in the years 1918–1939 determined the educational needs of the city as well. So as to ensure that Jewish population could undergo a compulsory education and complete it, the authorities of the city handed over three municipal primary schools (bearing the following numbers: 12, 13 and 15) to be used only and solely by the members of this very minority. The schools in question constituted an integral element of primary education in the city, and, therefore, suffered from the same difficulties with finding suitable buildings, personnel and organisation. It is, however, worth indicating that, thanks to the grassroots initiatives of the faculty in the aspect of the organisation of upbringing activities, these schools instilled the spirit of respect for the people of all confessions and nationalities, as well as for the state and local community.

Alfabetización Digital

En la actualidad, diferentes países del mundo han dirigido sus esfuerzos a elevar los estándares de calidad de sus sistemas educativos nacionales. Entre las prioridades aparece como una de la más relevantes las relacionadas con la alfabetización digital, entendida como las competencias que todo ciudadano y ciudadana debe desarrollar para considerarse alfabetizado en el siglo XXI. Dichas competencias refieren a la capacidad de utilizar las fuentes digitales de forma eficaz. Se trata de un tipo especial de mentalidad o pensamiento (Zapata-Ros, 2015). Con ello intentamos explicitar la concepción y el enfoque que sostenemos respecto de este tipo de alfabetización propia de las sociedades contemporáneas, es decir, informatizada o conocidas como sociedades del conocimiento y la información: un tipo de alfabetización que enfatiza aspectos cognitivos del trabajo en entornos digitales en comparación a otras definiciones que la conceptualizan focalizando en las habilidades técnicas involucradas en la utilización de dispositivos digitales. En este sentido, el presente artículo considera que la ausencia previa del desarrollo de tales competencias dificulta practicar otras habilidades propias del pensamiento computacional (en adelante PC) que implican la resolución de problemas mediante la utilización de ordenadores computacionales o en ausencia de estos. De lo anterior la preocupación y el objeto de reflexión de este trabajo se direcciona hacia conocer si los países latinoamericanos seleccionados, a saber, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile y México, han incorporado en el marco de sus políticas públicas de enseñanza las competencias y habilidades propias del PC y cuáles han sido las estrategias implementadas para concretarlo. Por último, el texto cuestiona la concepción acerca del PC que se deduce de las políticas y estrategias implementadas proveyendo una conclusión que destaca los enfoques respecto de cómo se conciben el aprendizaje de las competencias involucradas. Nowadays, different countries of the world have focused their efforts on raising the quality standards of their national educational systems. Among the priorities appears as one of the most relevant those related to digital literacy, understood as the skills that every citizen must develop to be considered literate in the 21st century. These competencies refer to the ability to use digital sources effectively. It is a special type of mentality or thought (Zapata-Ros, 2015). With this we try to explain the conception and the approach that we have regarding this type of literacy typical of contemporary societies, that is, computerized or known as societies of knowledge and information: a type of literacy that emphasizes cognitive aspects of work in digital environments compared to other definitions that conceptualize it focusing on the technical skills involved in the use of digital devices. In this sense, the present monograph considers that the previous absence of the development of such competencies makes it difficult to practice other abilities of computational thinking (PC) that involve the resolution of problems through the use of computer computers or in their absence. From the above, the concern and the object of reflection of this work is directed towards knowing if the selected Latin American countries, namely Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico, have incorporated their own skills and abilities within their public education policies of the PC and what have been the strategies implemented to specify it. Finally, the text questions the conception about the PC that is deduced from the policies and strategies implemented, providing a conclusion that highlights the approaches to how the learning of the competences involved is conceived.

Отмечается, что современное состояние профессионального образования находится на уровне модернизации в пользу использования инновационных образовательных технологий. Акцентируется внимание на главной тенденции современного профессионального образования – его цифровизации. Ситуация, вызванная COVID-19, привела к тому, что образовательные учреждения были вынуждены перейти на новые форматы обучения (дистанционное и онлайн-обучение). Основными факторами, повлиявшими на данную ситуацию, названы пандемия COVID-19, накопленный международный опыт, современные потребности общества и рыночной экономики. Несмотря на технологические и организационные трудности, выработаны общие подходы к профессиональному обучению дистанционно и онлайн, создана база образовательного контента. The article analyzes the current state of vocational education. Vocational education is considered as a social phenomenon. The characteristics of vocational education as a component of the educational system at the present stage of development are presented. It is noted that the current state of vocational education is at the level of modernization in favor of the use of innovative educational technologies. Attention is focused on the main trend of modern professional education – its digitalization. Integration of the Russian vocational education system into the world educational system is one of the priorities of the state educational policy. It is noted that the basis of modern vocational education is at the level of modernization in favor of the use of innovative educational technologies. The principles underlying modern education are highlighted: continuity, practice-orientedness, integration, continuous professional development, learning “online + offline. The situation caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 led to the fact that educational institutions were forced to switch to new formats of education (distance and online learning). The main factors that influenced this situation are the COVID-19 pandemic, the accumulated international experience, the modern needs of society and the market economy. It is noted that, despite the technological and organizational difficulties, common approaches to professional training remotely and online were developed, a database of educational content was created.

The Impact

Argentina has traditionally stood out in terms of educational outcomes among its Latin American counterparts. Schooling of older children, however, still shows room for improvement especially among the more vulnerable. Fortunately, during the last years a sizeable improvement in attendance rates for children aged 15 through 17 took place. This could be related to the 2006 National Education Law that made upper-secondary education compulsory. In this paper, instead, we claim that the Asignación Universal por Hijo (Universal Child Allowance, AUH) -a massive conditional cash transfer program implemented in 2009 in Argentina- may be mostly responsible for this improvement. Using a difference-in-difference strategy we estimate that the program accounts for a 3.9 percentage point increase in the probability of attending secondary school among eligible children aged 15 through 17. The impact seems to be led by boys and is more relevant for children living in larger families where the head of household has a lower educational level.

Oriented Approach

New time challenges cause new contradictions that are peculiar for educational environment in Russia and they require instant solutions. We have identified the contradictions which defined our target to determine the techniques and methods of distance education for students of pedagogical specializations based on practice-oriented approach, implementation of media educational technologies into the preparation of university students aimed at the development of knowledge, competencies and skills in distance learning in different types of educational institutions. Media educational technologies are conditioned by general pedagogical and didactic principles and the choice of pedagogical methods directly depends on the content of educational discipline, conditions of its implementation and other factors. Media educational technologies used for the completion of social-pedagogical disciplines for university students consist of creative and game tasks. Using them it is essential to consider special features of various media and the target of the lesson. Practice is another relevant purpose in the process of distance learning. We believe that this problem will be dominating in the nearest future as practice in distance learning is focused on by higher education institutions. In this article some techniques and types of this practical training are presented being shaped by the format of distance learning. During various practices the students of pedagogical specializations will be able not only to prepare for their future work but also to assist subject teachers, social pedagogues in schools and to make considerable contributions in this work.

In our age, computational thinking that involves understanding human behavior and designing systems for solving problems is important as much as reading, writing and arithmetic for everyone. Computer programming is one of the ways that could be promote the process of developing computational thinking, in addition to developing higher-order thinking skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking skills etc. However, instead of focusing on problems and sub-problems, algorithms, or the most effective and efficient solution, focusing on programming language specific needs and problems affects the computational thinking process negatively. Many educators use different tools and pedagogical approaches to overcome these difficulties such as, individual work, collaborative work and visual programming tools etc. In this study, researchers analyze four visual programming tools (Scratch, Small Basic, Alice, App Inventor) for students in K-12 level and three methodologies (Project-based learning, Problem-based learning and Design-based learning) while teaching programming in K-12 level. In summary, this chapter presents general description of visual programming tools and pedagogical approaches, examples of how each tool can be used in programming education in accordance with the CT process and the probable benefits of these tools and approaches to explore the practices of computational thinking.

Course Management System (CMS) is now probably the most used educational technologies in higher education, behind only the Internet and common office software. It can facilitate posting content, participating in discussions, maintaining a grade book, tracking participation and managing learning activities in an online environment for instructors and learners. But question arises to what extent these systems are successful in developing countries like Bangladesh. Unfortunately there are very few reports and publication that have tried to focus on above issues. In this study, an evaluation and analysis of CMS in developing countries like Bangladesh was carried out to assess the success of the system by using “ITPOSMO' model. The study found that CMS is partially failing in higher educational institutions in Bangladesh.
