    Visual programming languages integrated across the curriculum in elementary school: A two year case study using “Scratch” in five schools
    (Elsevier, 2016-03-05) Sáez López, José Manuel; Román González, Marcos; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    Several authors and studies highlight the benefits of the integration of Computer Science into K-12 education. Applications such as Scratch have been demonstrated to be effective in educational environments. The aim of this study is to assess the use of a Visual Pro- gramming Language using Scratch in classroom practice, analyzing the outcomes and at- titudes of 107 primary school students from 5th to 6th grade in five different schools in Spain. The intervention takes place in two academic years analyzing the practice of inte- grating coding and visual blocks programming in sciences and arts. The “Computational concepts and computational practices” dimension details a quasi-experimental approach, which showed significant improvement regarding learning programming concepts, logic, and computational practices with an active approach. The “Learning processes and coding in primary education” dimension analyzes the practice of the experimental group through questionnaires and structured observation. In this pedagogical design, students interact and create their own content related to curricular areas with several advantages, such as motivation, fun, commitment, and enthusiasm, showing improvements related to computational thinking and computational practices. Understanding of computational concepts through an active approach, Project Based Learning, usefulness, motivation, and commitment underline the importance and effectiveness of implementing a Visual Pro- gramming Language from active methodologies in primary education. Due to the afore- mentioned benefits and positive results obtained in this research, it is recommended to implement a Visual Programming Language in educational settings in 5th and 6th grade in primary education through a cross-curricular implementation.

    Exploring application, attitudes and integration of video games: MinecraftEdu in Middle School
    (2015-01-01) Miller, John; Domínguez Garrido, María Concepción; Sáez López, José Manuel; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    The aim of this study is to assess the use of MinecraftEdu in classroom practice analyzing the outcomes and attitudes of all members of the educational community through a quasi-experimental approach. The research presents three dimensions oriented to assessing the use of this application in a didactic unit “History and Architecture” compared through statistical inference (t-student) to a control group that develops the same unit with slides and traditional expositional methods. The second dimension values the attitudes of teachers, students and parents regarding the implementation of video games in formal education using descriptive analysis and nonparametric statistical inference through the Jonckheere-Terpstra test and the Kruskal-Wallis test, which allows each group ranks to be compared. The third dimension analyzes interactions in a virtual learning environment related to the implementation of MinecraftEdu. Although there are no significant improvements regarding academic outcomes and some parents hold negative attitudes, it is noteworthy that the majority of the sample considered that MinecraftEdu is fun, enhances creativity, develops discovery and is a good application for creating and exploring immersive historical environments.

    La imagen de los países a través de una didáctica digital ubicua: un estudio de caso con México
    (Consejo Mexicano de Investigación Educativa, 2016) López Meneses, Eloy; Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Sáez López, José Manuel
    La imagen de un país la conforman múltiples aspectos socioculturales, históricos, políticos, etcétera y se percibe desde fuera principalmente a través de los medios de comunicación y, en especial hoy en día, por medio de Internet. En esta investigación se analiza, a través de una metodología cualitativa en conjunción con el Análisis de Redes Sociales, un estudio de caso en el que profesores y alumnos españoles emplearon teléfonos inteligentes y aplicaciones móviles en la red para conocer y debatir sobre aspectos socioculturales, históricos y geográfi cos de México. Los resultados muestran cómo la imagen de México en los estudiantes españoles de secundaria se ha enriquecido sustancialmente abandonando tópicos preestablecidos; lo que sin duda ha repercutido en una imagen de México más real, completa, interesante y crítica.

    The Academic Use of the Laptop and the Smartphone by Spanish and Latin American University Students
    (Universidad de Salamanca. EUSAL Revistas, 2019-04-08) Sevillano García, María Luisa; Sáez López, José Manuel; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    El presente estudio analiza la utilización del ordenador portátil y el smartphone por parte de estudiantes universitarios, identificando sus beneficios y aplicaciones académicas. La muestra es no probabilística compuesta por 469 sujetos en 10 universidades, 5 de España y 5 de países iberoamericanos. Se ha empleado una metodología a partir del análisis descriptivo y factorial. Se concluye que existe una mayor presencia del ordenador portátil en el estudio y tareas académicas, mientras que el smartphone está más presente en la comunicación y el entretenimiento. El ordenador portátil tiene más presencia en las funciones instructiva, informativa, colaboradora e ilustrativa, y en actividades de aprendizaje. El smartphone obtiene mejores resultados en lo relativo a las funciones de entretenimiento y comunicación. En cualquier caso, son claros los beneficios y satisfacción en el uso de ambos dispositivos. Esta realidad obliga e impulsa a los docentes hacia una nueva metodología docente, incluyendo la preparación de recursos para ser aprovechados en línea.

    An evaluation of university students' latent and self-perceived digital competence in the use of mobile devices
    (Wiley, 2020) Sevillano García, Luisa; Leví Orta, Genoveva del Carmen; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    This article presents an experimental study of the assessment made by university students of their level of digital competence in the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets. The study was part of an investigation into ubiquitous learning with mobile devices and is based on the analysis of responses from a sample of 203 university students at eleven European and Latin American universities. Participants were asked questions about their performance on a set of digital activities that tested various components of digital competence. The analysis methodology was based on Item Response Theory (IRT). The survey data was analysed by applying a statistical model to represent the probability of obtaining an affirmative answer to each activity proposed. This enabled us to identify the difficulty and discrimination parameters of each activity. As an outcome of the study, measures on latent digital competence in individual participants were articulated. The results allowed us to describe how a number of devices and activities interacted. Understanding these types of interactions is necessary for a continued development of the evaluation of digital competence in students.
