El presente número monográfico de RED se convocó con el título La educación en Matemáticas, Pensamiento Computacional y STEM apoyada por la tecnología digital. Su diseño instruccional. El principio de activación. En este artículo los autores queremos hacer la presentación del número haciendo énfasis en el principio de activación como fundamento teórico del pensamiento computacional y de la educación matemática y de STEM Hay numerosas destrezas y conceptos, propios de Pensamiento Computacional, Matemáticas y STEM, que son necesarios como base para los estudios de grado. Frecuentemente estos conceptos y procedimientos no constan de forma explícita en el currículo de los niveles anteriores a la universidad o, constando, no se garantizado su dominio. En estos casos no podemos esperar que aparezcan de forma espontánea, en el mismo momento en que se necesitan para los contenidos de grado o de secundaria superior. Es necesaria una sólida base cognitiva para que puedan ser evocados. El presente número monográfico está convocado con el objetivo de dar oportunidad de difundir investigaciones y casos que parcial o totalmente tengan como referencia esas ideas. E investiguen si efectivamente el uso del principio de activación (Merrill, 2002; 2020 revised edition) convenientemente utilizado en un diseño instruccional adecuado, con métodos, actividades y recursos, consigue una mejora en la calidad de los resultados de aprendizaje cuando lo aprendido en las etapas anteriores es evocado y reactivado convenientemente en los estudios de grado. La conclusión de todo él es que debe potenciarse una pedagogía que establezca valores en estas ideas y principios para las primeras etapas educativas. El principio de activación es pues clave para tenerlo en cuenta cuando se diseña la educación infantil y el primer ciclo de primaria, teniendo en el horizonte los aprendizajes futuros, incluidos los de STEM. This monographic issue of RED was convened with the title Education in Mathematics, Computational Thinking and STEM supported by digital technology. Its instructional design focus is the activation principle. In this article, the authors present the current issue, describe the activation principle as an important theoretical foundation of instructional design for computational thinking and mathematics and STEM Education, and introduce subsequent papers. There are numerous skills and concepts, specific to Computational Thinking, Mathematics and STEM, that are necessary as a basis for undergraduate studies. Often these concepts and procedures do not appear explicitly in the primary and secondary school curriuclum. Or, if they do appear, there is no guarantee students will have mastered them by graduation. We cannot expect these skills to appear spontaneously, at the very moment they are needed. A solid cognitive foundation is necessary for them to be activated. This special issue is presented with the aim of disseminating investigations and cases that partially or totally engage with these ideas. This can aid investigation of whether the effective use of the activation principle (Merrill, 2002; revised edition 2020), when used in an adequate instructional design, with methods, activites and resources, contributes to an improvement in the quality of learning results when what is learned in the previous stages is activated and reactivated sufficiently in undergraduate studies, and whether a pedagogy that establishes the value of these ideas and principles from the earliest educational stages should be promoted in order to prepare students for learning on the horizon, including STEM.
This discussion group aimed to use a work-in-progress project as an example to fuel discussion of curriculum coherence and the importance of the relationships between curriculum, context, and implementation. These are major considerations influencing curriculum development at national and international levels. Our example was the framework being developed by Cambridge Mathematics for presenting and organising the domain of school mathematics in a form that emphasises connections and interdependencies between learners' mathematical experiences, and the different routes that can successfully facilitate learners' development mathematical understanding.Two themes stood out strongly in both sessions. The first had to do with the importance of finding ways of communicating design, design methods, and research methods that can drive productive collaboration among researchers, administrators, policy makers, and teachers during framework development. Focal points for communication with one group of stakeholders might not provide critical information needed for another to engage. Consideration of the priorities and needs of each group in the collaborative process can help to make the final result more useful for all groups, and consequently more likely to be put to use and refined.Some specific features of a curriculum framework were identified as having the potential to benefit collaboration around emerging curriculum frameworks, and the subsequent quality of those frameworks. Framework design and documentation should be able to:
