Bach eXperience: una aproximación creativa a la simetría cuatro π a través de Bach y la alfabetidad visual

Este artículo presenta una experiencia educativa de docencia universitaria a través de la cultura visual, la música, la ciencia, la tecnología y las matemáticas en el plan de formación de sesenta futuros diseñadores digitales. El objetivo de este estudio de caso es mostrar el aprendizaje de contenidos curriculares —como el concepto matemático de simetría cuatro π— a través de la alfabetidad visual, las manifestaciones artísticas y, en concreto, musicales como el Canon nº 5 de Johann Sebastian Bach de las Variaciones de Goldberg - BWV 1087. Para ello, se han utilizado marcos conceptuales basados en la pedagogía crítica, la transversalidad, la teoría del andamiaje, la gamificación y el conflicto cognitivo. La investigación fue analizada a partir de la triangulación entre los cuestionarios del alumnado, sus producciones artísticas y sus diarios de investigación, y fueron analizados a través del software ATLAS.ti (versión 7). Los resultados señalan el uso de la alfabetidad visual como generador de situaciones de aprendizaje creativas y disruptivas, posibilitando una mejora formativa en los estudiantes. Se concluye que este enfoque metodológico puede crear puentes entre disciplinas, capacitando a los estudiantes a abordar un pensamiento divergente e inclusivo en sus prácticas profesionales y en sus cotidianidades

COEDU-IN Project: an inclusive co-educational project for teaching computational thinking and digital skills at early ages

Learning to program is the new literacy of the 21st century. Computational thinking, closely related to programming, requires thinking and solving problems with different levels of abstraction and is independent of hardware devices. The early childhood education stage provides teachers with the opportunity to lay the foundations for a comprehensive quality education using innovative tools and technologies. Educational robotics in early childhood education becomes a tool that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge to children, playfully, based on the principles of interactivity, social interrelationships, collaborative work, creativity, constructivist and constructionist learning, and a student-centered didactic approach, allowing in turn that student can acquire digital competencies and develop logical and computational thinking in an underlying way. This project explores the current state of teaching and learning computational thinking and programming in early childhood education in an inclusive manner. Moreover, the lack of diversity and inequality is particularly latent in science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Therefore, this work considers this problem and presents an inclusive coeducation approach to this new literacy, eliminating gender stereotypes and extending them to people with Down syndrome and hospitalized minors

The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities, yet little is known about the specific genetic loci that influence human cortical structure. To identify genetic variants that affect cortical structure, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of brain magnetic resonance imaging data from 51,665 individuals. We analyzed the surface area and average thickness of the whole cortex and 34 regions with known functional specializations. We identified 199 significant loci and found significant enrichment for loci influencing total surface area within regulatory elements that are active during prenatal cortical development, supporting the radial unit hypothesis. Loci that affect regional surface area cluster near genes in Wnt signaling pathways, which influence progenitor expansion and areal identity. Variation in cortical structure is genetically correlated with cognitive function, Parkinson's disease, insomnia, depression, neuroticism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Empathy and virtual agents for learning applications in symbiotic systems

Ponencia de la conferencia "2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference - Emerging Trends and Challenges of Engineering Education, EDUCON 2018; Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands; Spain; 17 April 2018 through 20 April 2018"Transparency and ethics are the key issues to improve in the future generations of bots and robots. Communication between users and bots or robots must be clear and transparent to be audited. Empathy will be a valuable asset in a symbiotic domain (user/bot, bot/bot, bot/robot, robot/robot, user/robot). We expose some guidelines to UX designers to cope to new paradigms in HCI communication challenges

Gender design methods for engineering, responsible innovation and interaction

Ponencia de la conferencia "19th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, Interaccion 2018; Palma; Spain; 12 September 2018 through 14 September 2018"Although there is a large number of studies in the literature designed to analyze the low representation of women in technology and, especially, in information technology, studies to analyze how these technologies have been designed and constructed are scarce. In the area of HumanComputer Interaction (HCI) there is an emerging and promising field of research that focuses on the study of gender differences in the use of computers and the Internet, as well as providing recommendations for the design of technology with gender perspective. In this article, we will present different methodological approaches that allow for the inclusion of a gender perspective in technology design, and, recommendations for the design and development of software focused on gender
