Viviana Harari — 2020-07-09

The term "anticipatory space", used in multiple disciplines, had no formal definition in Informatics. Concepts related to the virtual were analysed in order to arrive at a definition within that field, and a possible classification was set forth. Moreover, FI3D is presented as an example, which is an application used as the basis for two educational proposals that allowed the analysis and evaluation of the impact of having an anticipatory space -- TIVU Virtual, a challenge-based serious game aimed at University first-year students, and ProBots3D, an environment for the first approach to programming at schools.

Dulce María Flores Olvera — 2020-09-18

Learning in virtual environments consists of a conscious, planned and controlled process (metacognitive skills), so the teacher must identify if there are difficulties. The objective was to identify metacognitive skills in higher level students through knowing their planning and control capacity in a game situation (Tower of Hanoi) (Flores, Ostrosky y Lozano, 2013). 93 students participated, average of 20 years (60 women and 33 men). Overall results point to average performance in your planning capacity and in execution time. However, some participants will need more personalized accompaniment.
