This article, which is the result of research, presents the design of an application as a proposal to implement free Arduino software and hardware as a facilitating axis for learning skills in natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (stem). The objective of this research was to carry out a didactic and technological innovation in the teaching and learning process of the subject of technology and computer science to develop stem competencies in students necessary to perform in a digital world. The qualitative methodology consisted of delivering didactic planning in an application based on a project-based pedagogy and integrative didactics. In this way, it was possible to identify the development of research skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication, and collaboration, all related to the stem approach. In addition, the educational community where the research experience took place showed great interest in using these resources in the classroom and the possibility of applying them in productive projects of the institution's technical agricultural, livestock, and business management modalities. The application can be used by technology and computer science teachers in the eleventh grade and can be adapted to other educational levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

the evaluation of the plan for the area of technology and computer science in the schools of Villavicencio allows the reader to learn about the methodologies, plans and programs that are developed in the area. The results will enable the reader to have a clear vision of the way in which the teaching process is developed and, based on this, to identify the actions that could eventually be developed in an educational institution that intends to promote the use of computer science and technology. This research, with a qualitative approach began with interviews of teachers and culminated with the review of the subject plan; these data were categorized to be submitted to the triangulation of results in order to evaluate the plans for the area. It was found in some cases that there is a lack of knowledge of the concepts of pedagogical planning; that each institution has a specific model that deviates from the Ministry's guidelines based on the protection of school autonomy, and that area planning often follows the teacher's interests. All these generalities made it possible to demonstrate that there is no common path, but that there are many individual endeavors that try, with much effort, to make the development of the area more efficient. The research leads to the deduction that the area of technology and computer science could be developed in a transversal and interdisciplinary way with the other areas of the academic curriculum so that it can become the support required by basic secondary education in the city of Villavicencio.

A trend study consists to review and analyze a great amount of information that refers to a discipline, it is based on many sources of information. This paper shows the main trend topics in computer science around the world, this base on the advances in industry 4.0. The background shows a great interest in the practical application of theoretical topics studied in the academy inside the productive and governmental sectors. Then, it is relevant to present the current trend issues in many sectors and contexts. In this work, a study is presented from the perspective of governments, business, and academia, which evidences the relevant topics for computer sciences. This article pretends to contribute to the articulation between the academic, governmental, and productive sectors as a contribution to the development of the countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the 1950s and with the emergence of computers and Computer Science new perspectives opened up, new ways of thinking that profoundly changed the world. This article seeks to understand this new way of thinking and, although the philosophy of science deeply analyzes the traditional way of scientific thinking, Computational Sciences are still an unknown terrain for it. Because it is difficult to ask the right questions when you do not have concepts, theories or frameworks to formulate them. In addition, while people believe that they are aware of and properly understand the object of most sciences, not all are well understood. For example, although Nature Sciences study the world to develop new knowledge about the universe, what new ideas can be found in a device made by man as the computer? For that reason, some affirm that the Computer Sciences are an abstract field, as the mathematics, and that they do not really treat of computers, but of another thing. That is why they are still a scientific discipline that is still a source of much confusion. This article aims to develop an understanding of Computer Sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aims to provide a description of sparse matrices, as well as evidence of its importance, the functioning of these matrices and their different forms of representation, through the implementation of this theory in a Java programming language, used an editor called Net beans7.0. As is shown in the paper every day sparse matrices tend to be used in scientific computing applications, biomedical, and are characterized most elements are zero [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scientific advance in the use of computers for the replication of human intelligence, or Artificial Intelligence, is unstoppable today. The application of «smart» technology to carry out tasks that, until recently, were performed by lawyers or other staff working in law firms such as well-known paralegals. The development of legal tools based on artificial intelligence is given both for application in law firms, regardless of their size, although with greater impact on large firms. An important consequence is that the use of this technique and the provision of information to clients no longer necessarily have to be carried out by lawyers, since it is the tool itself that prepares the legal information requested. The expression «LegalTech» refers to the application of new technologies to the legal world, developing this work a thorough and comprehensive description of these developments that will change the legal professions.
