- Computational thinking assessment: Contributions to the development of complex thinking in higher education(2023-10-25) Suárez Brito, Paloma; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; George Reyes, Carlos Enrique; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, https://ror.org/00prsav78Computational thinking and complex thinking are two approaches of current importance in higher education today, since they seek to enhance trans- versal skills and contribute to solving complex problems effectively, as well as analyzing options from multiple perspectives. Both competencies are considered indispensable for the future, so that students can face life challenges in a better way and propose innovative solutions appropriate to each context. In this work, we present a rubric to measure the Computational Thinking (CT) competency in higher education contexts, designed based on Wing’s (2006) original definition which includes abstraction and automation processes. Our rubric produces quantitative measures about Computational Thinking skills from teachers’ observation. An expert validation procedure was carried out resulting in a tool with high levels of reliability and validity. Findings demonstrate realistic and practical use of the rubric in higher education scenarios and promote the development of trans- versal competencies (including Complex Thinking). Results are discussed in terms of the importance of the promotion of 21st century skills in higher education.
- Adoption of open educational resources: An analysis of student’s perceptions(2023-08-29) Glasserman Morales, Leonardo David; Alcántar Nieblas, Carolina; George Reyes, Carlos Enrique; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, https://ror.org/00prsav78Open Educational Resources (OER) have transformed teaching practices in higher education. This study aimed to analyze means and standard deviations of adopting available educational resources by research and academic degree discipline. The second stage examines the relationship between the dimensions of adopting open educational resources (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control). A total of 358 students from five public and private universities were considered, whereas 90 of them (25.1%) were male, 266 (74.3%) were female, and 1(.3%) preferred not to identify with any of the gender options. Ages ranged from 18 to 35 years (M= 21.0 and SD = 3.0). The results show that participants from disciplines related to health sciences have higher adoption of open educational resources. They observed that students with postgraduate training presented the highest means in all dimensions associated with OER. Correlations between the factors of adopting OER were statistically significant and cheerful; the correlation value is considered moderate. In conclusion, more studies are need to be done considering the factors that can influence the adoption of OER.
