Aplicación y evaluación de una metodología de programación visual para el desarrollo de competencias matemáticas

El uso de la programación visual en metodología docente es un aspecto novedoso de especial interés en el ámbito educativo actual. Más concretamente, pensamos que la utilización del lenguaje de programación Scratch puede contribuir positivamente, entre otros aspectos, al desarrollo de competencias matemáticas. Por este motivo se ha procedido, en el trabajo que aquí se presenta, al diseño, aplicación y evaluación de una metodología docente de programación visual mediante lenguaje Scratch. Ello se ha desarrollado en el contexto de la formación de maestros de educación primaria, buscando, además de la adquisición de competencias matemáticas, el conocimiento de nuevas metodologías para su futuro como docentes

Characterizing Community-Based Mental Health Services for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Disruptive Behavior Problems

This study describes the characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with disruptive behavior problems served in community-based mental health clinics, characterizes psychotherapy process and outcome, and examines differences between children with ASD and a non-ASD comparison group. Results indicate that children with ASD served in this setting are high functioning and diagnostically complex. Certain research-based behavioral and cognitive behavioral psychotherapeutic strategies were observed frequently, while parent training strategies and active teaching strategies were observed less frequently. The intensity or thoroughness with which strategies were pursued was relatively low. Outcome analyses indicate improvement in child symptoms and family functioning. Treatment delivery and outcome were similar for children with and without ASD. These findings represent the first detailed observational data characterizing community-based mental health services for children with ASD

From computer algebra to discretized continuous logic

The aim of this paper is to present a new algebraic approach from computer algebra to a discretized continuous logic. It makes use of a previous model of p-valued logic (where p is a prime number) based on the use of Grobner bases of polynomial ideals. A five-valued logic (i.e., p = 5) with some modal operators has been considered as a compromise between precision and complexity of the polynomials involved. Therefore the continuous truth values are discretized into five intervals corresponding to the likelihood levels: impossible or very unlikely unlikely dubious probably almost sure or absolutely sure. It is therefore posible to obtain the likelihood level of any given logic formula. Moreover, it is possible to perform knowledge extraction and verification of small Rule Based Expert System whose knowledge is represented by this logic. An implementation in the computer algebra system Maple is included
