The study of computer-related careers is a perfect opportunity for young people due to the high impact that technology has today since there is an increase in job opportunities for qualified personnel in this area. In addition to having a high offer of jobs, most of these are the best paid today. The most encouraging part of preparing in this area is that in the immediate future, it is envisioned to continue with this demand and have a career that will not be absorbed by automation and the development of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the means of communication where young people can find out about the academic offer are isolated, or they must have a clear idea of a university, or it is generally achieved by recommendation of another professor or by having seen a lecture by a particular professor. Notice that students do not have a general vision of the academic offer. This article presents an initiative to concentrate information on careers related to Computing in Mexico and presents statistics on the data collected. This study aims to present an academic offer to young people in careers related to computing. The academic degrees are bachelor's/engineering, master's, and doctoral. The data presented corresponds to 33 bachelor's/engineering, 30 master's, and 21 doctoral programs. The careers related to computing and information technology most offered in Mexico in 2022 were: computer systems engineering and computer engineering. The information presented here is available at: http://computo.fismat.umich.mx/smcc/mapaComputacion/. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this literature review was to perform an analysis of Computational Thinking (CT) definitions, aiming to find points of convergence among the 62 analyzed definitions. The publication year, authors, and country of origin of the first author were considered as variables to understand the behavior of the CT construct, assuming different perspectives proposed from 2006 to 2022. To achieve this purpose, five sources of information were reviewed, and 62 articles that presented a definition of CT were selected. According to the results, the years with the highest number of proposals were 2015 and 2017. The countries with the most publications featuring definitions were the United States, followed by Spain. The most representative authors were Jeannette Marie Wing, Cynthia Selby, and Francisco José García-Peñalvo. Regarding the analysis of the words, two lines stand out: one corresponds to approaches related to informatics, computing, technology, or programming, and the other assumes the absence of these terms. It is important to highlight the prominence of the word "problem(s)," which appeared with a frequency of 89% in the analyzed articles' definitions, and the word "solve(s)" with 54%. In line with the results, it is concluded that there is diversity in the proposals to define CT, making it challenging to find a point of convergence. Therefore, it is concluded that those interested in investigating the construct can adopt the definition that suits their research needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of new technologies in higher education is now a basic instrumental skill for students. However, there are few available sources to help university professors to choose the right applications for their classes. This pedagogical proposal is based on a selection of applications of interest for teachers and students in policy analysis which aims to maintain the balance between pedagogy and technology. These applications are designed to develop skills related with the public policy cycle, along with transversal issues like policy actors, institutions, ideas and territoriality. Each application is evaluated according to three variables: it must be free-of-charge, accessible and stable. The paper also includes some comments about their graphic interface and operability.

This research refers to alternative hardware as it is for optional use, not all computers have certain functions, however, these devices allow a computer to be endowed with different characteristics and also get more out of its functionalities. It should be noted that it serves us both for educational use and for professional life, before this type of hardware was more used than today since computers were often very limited and did not allow to supply all the needs of the user, with the implementation of USB ports was greatly reduced in use. There are different types of expansion cards, each one for a specific need, these cards are connected in the expansion slots; among the most used we have the PCI, PCI EXPRESS and AGP. The main objective of this scientific research is to provide information about how these devices provide new features to our computers and the benefit of adapting them to our own. Nowadays, alternative hardware is very popular in its use, both for children and adults, the main methodology used was the bibliographic review. The result of the analysis carried out in this research was able to show that at present this technology has greatly contributed to users, therefore they have been very well received by them.

The digital scholarly edition (DSE) concept is reviewed and discussed, as well as the various denominations used to refer to it. The study investigates the scope of the quality standards set for this type of edition and explores the software available for its publication. The work is completed with an evaluative analysis of a sample of applications, delving into their characteristics, the constraints on the user interfaces to which they give access, and how well they meet the standards. The conclusions confirm the urgent need to critically and systematically evaluate edition software. The gradual development of open and interoperable software stands out as a positive result, based on the coding of texts following the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), which optimizes data reuse and preservation. However, the durability of web interfaces and the sustainability of these digital projects require adequate research infrastructures, for which it is proposed to promote synergies with libraries and traditional publishers, among other mediators. Finally, to advance with the adaptation of publishing models to the digital paradigm, the need for the academic community to agree on DSE display formats is underlined, as well as to undertake user studies that guarantee the adaptation of DSEs to the target audience they address.

The primary objective of this research study is to apply an information management system based on analysis methodology and risk identification for university library processes. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard is adapted and applied by using the MARGERIT methodology to assess a university library. The results obtained from the intrinsic and effective risk calculations show the presence of safeguards and the evaluation of impacts. The percentage of influence in each risk by quality process is established, corrective measures are identified, and record formats are incorporated. It is concluded that incorporating the proposed formats to develop quality indicator controls and audits allow optimizing the information security management system (SGSI, in Spanish) of university library processes.

Este estudio proporciona evidencia sobre factores que facilitan el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional (PC) en estudiantes costarricenses de primaria, incluyendo el aporte de la propuesta de LIE++ que aborda conocimientos y prácticas del PC mediante proyectos de programación y computación física. Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental para comparar un grupo de estudiantes de LIE++ con un grupo de estudiantes de otra propuesta llamada LIEGuías que enfatiza aprendizajes con tecnologías digitales. En el estudio participaron 14.795 estudiantes, respondiendo voluntariamente una prueba en línea que se construyó y validó para estimar los puntajes alcanzados en PC. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes participantes de LIE++ obtuvieron mejores puntajes en comparación con el grupo de LIEGuías y mediante un modelo de regresión multinivel se identificaron que variables personales y sociales de los estudiantes y de la misma ejecución de la propuesta inciden en el favorecimiento de estos aprendizajes. Esta investigación es un primer acercamiento al tema en este contexto, que se refiere a la importancia de brindar oportunidades educativas que apunten a conocimientos y habilidades más avanzadas de la computación, así como a la relevancia de seguir desarrollando herramientas y metodologías que ayuden a generar evidencias sobre el PC en el ámbito educativo y así mejorar las intervenciones educativas. This study provides evidence about factors that facilitate the development of computational thinking (CT) in Costa Rican elementary school students, including the description of the contribution of the LIE++ proposal that addresses CT knowledge and practices through programming and physical computing projects. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare a group of students from the LIE++ educational proposal with a group of students from another proposal called LIE-Guides, which emphasizes learning with digital technologies. The study sample comprised 14,795 voluntary students, who answered an online test that was constructed and validated to estimate the scores achieved in CT. The results showed that the students participating in the LIE++ proposal obtained better scores compared to the LIE-Guides group. A multilevel regression model demonstrated that students' personal and social variables, as well as the proposal's execution scheme, positively affected student learning in CT. This research is a first approach to the subject in this context. It refers to the importance of providing educational opportunities that focus on more advanced computing knowledge and skills, as well as the relevance of continuing to develop tools and methodologies that help generate evidence about CT in education in order to improve educational interventions.

This work studied learning, adopting the cultural-historical approach, specially the theory of subjectivity as its psychological foundation. Major aspects of the design and creation of online courses, and the failure of these to consider learning as a subjective process were examined. Online courses which will be based on the theory of subjectivity are suggested as ways for eliminating this failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on vocational education and training (VET) has paid scarce attention to the families of the students in these programs. After the students complete compulsory education, the families become invisible to the educational system. Given the recent interest in promoting vocational training and the lack of employment opportunities for youth, we believe it is of interest to explore the perceptions of students' parents regarding VET. To achieve this aim, semi-structured interviews were carried out with parents to determine their views on the benefits of VET for their children. In particular, we focused on a firstcycle VET program in computing. The study was conducted taking into account three dimensions: the past (an analysis of students' academic pathways), the present (the assessment of their children's academic performance) and the future (expectations about labor market access). The findings provide important insight into this component of the educational community. The main results show that parents are satisfied with their children's decision to undergo vocational training and hope, rather than expect, that their children will enter the world of work and get a good job consonant with their qualifications.
