Actividad tecnológica escolar para el desarrollo de la capacidad de solución de problemas mediante la construcción de un sistema de seguimiento del movimiento

Abstract

Design and validation of a Technological Activities at School (ATE) to strengthen the ability to solve problems, specifically the capacity of abstraction and the use of algorithms in students of the Liceo Mayor de Soacha. The central activity of the ATE is the construction of a motion tracking system of the human body, through the use of inertial unit sensors (IMU) and simulation in the programming software UNITY. The proposal articulates four relevant concepts: cognitive (problem solving and computational thinking), pedagogical (Papert's constructionism), didactic (analysis through construction type ATE) and technological (motion tracking systems - MOCAP). The methodology of the work is of a mixed type, where qualitative and quantitative variables are taken into account. Quantitative measurements are made through the application of pretest and posttest and qualitative measurements through interview and participant observation.
