“…For this to happen, students from a third-grade classroom of Istituto Superiore Majorana of Palermo, Italy, a computer-science high school, supported younger peer students in building and programming educational robots. Such an approach was chosen for the well-documented positive impact of peer-mentoring on both tutors' and tutees' learning and skills development [28].…”

Research has shown that educational robotics can be an effective tool to increase students’ acquisition of knowledge in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and promote, at the same time, a progression in the development of computational thinking (CT) skills in K–12 (kindergarten to 12th grade) education. Within this research field, the present study first sought to assess the effect of a robotics laboratory on the acquisition of CT-related skills in primary school children. The study also aimed to compare the magnitude of the effect of the laboratory across third- and fourth-grade students. For the purpose of the study, a quasi-experimental post-test-only design was adopted, and a group of 51 students, from third- and fourth-grade classrooms, participating in the robotics laboratories, were compared to a control group of 32 students from classrooms of the same grades. A set of Bebras tasks was selected as an overall measure of CT skills and was administered to children in both the intervention and control groups. Overall, the results showed that programming robotics artefacts may exert a positive impact on students’ learning of computational thinking skills. Moreover, the effect of the intervention was found to be greater among third-grade children.

RESUMOUm dos processos importantes na indústria de sericicultura que permite a separação dos indivíduos que poderão produzir fios mais longos e de melhor qualidade é a identificação do sexo do bicho da seda. Este artigo visa à construção de um protótipo de um sistema de penetração ótica, com infravermelho que permita inferir a existência, ou não, das glândulas de quitina. Objetiva-se realizar a inspeção visual no segmento do abdômen da pupa do bicho da seda através de emissão de infravermelho proveniente de um conjunto de leds e coletar a diferença das intensidades de entrada e saída das ondas emitidas por meio de foto transistores, e, de posse do resultado da diferença serão realizadas análises por mineração de dados com o software WEKA na modalidade de classificação, que permita inferir o gênero das pupas. Esta abordagem é rentável, de baixo custo, com boa velocidade de coleta e processamento, não sendo destrutiva para as pupas, diferentemente das técnicas de análise de DNA aplicadas atualmente. Os resultados apontam para a classificação por meio de uma árvore de decisão com grande precisão, que apresenta acertos de 96,75% o que é muito positivo para o processo produtivo que sofre com a classificação visual com índice de acerto menor que o alcançado nesta pesquisa. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Bombyx mori, Infravermelho, Mineração de dados. SILKWORM (BOMBYX MORI) PUPA SEX IDENTIFICATION WITH DATA MINING ABSTRACTOne of the important processes in the sericulture industry that allows the separation of individuals who can produce longer wires and better is the identification of the sex of the silkworm. This article aims to build a prototype of an optical penetration system with infrared that allows to infer the existence or not of chitin glands. The aim is to carry out visual inspection on the segment of the silk pupae pupae through infrared emission from a set of leds and to collect the difference of the input and output intensities of the waves emitted by means of phototransistors, the results of the difference will be performed by data mining with WEKA software in the classification mode, which allows inferring the genus of the pupae. This approach is cost-effective, low cost, with good collection and processing speed, and is not destructive to pupae,

Berpikir komputasional telah diakui sebagai suatu kebutuhan dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang kompleks. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk memperkenalkan keterampilan ini ke semua tingkat pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau penelitian tentang berpikir komputasi pada tingkat sekolah menengah. Khususnya, penelitian ini mengkaji domain penelitian, mengidentifikasi metode-metode untuk memperkenalkan berpikir komputasional, serta konsep-konsep berpikir komputasional yang diajarkan kepada pelajar. Tinjauan literatur sistematik dilakukan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: penelitian berpikir komputasional mencakup kajian teori, pengembangan kurikulum, pengukuran, dan pengembangan alat. Kajian teori ditujukan untuk memformulasikan konsep. Selain keterampilan teknis, soft-skills telah dinyatakan sebagai elemen berpikir komputasional. Namun, perhatian untuk melibatkan soft-skills dalam penelitian masih kurang. Sebagian besar penelitian difokuskan pada integrasi berpikir komptasional ke dalam kurikulum. Coding menjadi metode yang paling banyak digunakan untuk mengajarkan berpikir komputasional. Sehingga, algorithmic thinking dan abstraction muncul sebagai keterampilan yang paling sering diajarkan atau diukur. Akhirnya, penelitian ini menggarisbawahi adanya kesenjangan untuk dikaji lebih lanjut yaitu berkaitan dengan pengukuran keterampilan berpikir komputasional dan untuk menyertakan soft-skills pada penelitian berpikir komputasional. Kata Kunci—Berpikir komputasional, Sekolah menengah, Penyelesaian masalah
