- A systematic mapping literature review of education around sexual and gender diversities(Frontiers, 2022-08-23) López Orozco, Christian Fernando; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Education around sexual and gender identities is highly important to understand diversity and prevent discrimination, violence, and even murder. Nevertheless, educational institutions around the world are lacking a curriculum that explicitly includes diversity and acknowledges the LGBTQ+ community, a minority that over the years has been facing consequences from this exclusion. This study presents a detailed description of the process applied to analyze the studies using a systematic mapping literature review, as well as the positive results found from those educational institutions that started their path to inclusion around sexual and gender diversities through their curricula. The research questions targeted in this work are: What is being taught in educational institutions regarding sexual and gender diversities? What are the approaches used inside the classrooms to teach sexual and gender diversities? Which students are receiving education regarding sexual and gender diversities? Is there a technological approach and/or tool used to teach sexual and gender diversities? After applying the filtering processes, 69 studies were selected from five dierent online libraries: ACM, DOAJ, Lens.org, SCOPUS, and SpringerLink. The conclusions made from the findings of this review are that those studies that do tackle concerns around the topic have proven to benefit the LGBTQ+ community, the education around sexual and gender diversities predominates within the healthcare field, there are a lack of studies around this topic in Latin American countries, and technological tools are minimally used during the teaching processes.
- Improving the attention span of elementary school children for physical education through an NAO robotics platform in developed countries(Springer Nature, 2022-03-17) Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Education today faces a powerful enemy: the lack of interest from students, who, even if attending class, find themselves distracted. This enemy has been in our schools for a long time, but it has never been as strong as it is now. Technology has made it strong; phone-bearing children have become its ally. This investigation intends to return technology to our side as educators by proposing the use of an assistive robot, proving that it attracts the attention of students and motivates them to enjoy Physical Education (PE) class, where children learn how to live a healthy life, avoiding diseases and conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. To prove this, we measured the attention levels and motivation of the students in two primary school classes, one, a traditional class, and the other, a robot-assisted class. The data was analyzed from both engineering and psychological perspectives. This study concludes that the attention span of children improves, and their motivation increases as a result of using an NAO robot. Consequently, a robot-assisted PE class can decrease diabetes, obesity, and strengthen heart functions when the children learn how to live a healthy life effectively.
- Physical therapy using robotics:A project-based learning experience for undergraduate students(Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET), 2021-12-06) López Caudana, Edgar Omar; López Orozco, Christian Fernando; Mendoza Bárbara, César Alfonso; Baltazar Reyes, German Eduardo; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Chong Quero, Jesús Enrique; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The dynamic society we live in requires constant adaptation and innovation on every aspect of our daily lives, allowing us to improve the necessities of different people by doing it. For this study, we used a new approach with project-based learning to go beyond the typical environment in higher education and bring solutions to real-life scenarios. The project was developed with undergraduate engineering students in collaboration with a rehabilitation institute in Mexico City to design a physical therapy routine using the NAO robot. It allowed interaction between young patients in real time and fostered empathy while developing a final usable product. The study measured the usability of the robotic platform during the rehabilitation sessions and the reproducibility of the project through Cronbach's alpha evaluation. The usability results show a higher interest in the project from both the patients and the medical staff involved while constructing the material needed to develop a product that matches the standards given by the rehabilitation institute.
- Role assignment analysis of an assistive robotic platform in a high school mathematics class, through a gamification and usability evaluation(Springer, 2020-09-18) Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25This project implements an assistive robotic platform in a mathematics high school class to support the professor’s teaching process while analyzing its performance by using a gamification approach and the Octalysis framework. The results obtained from this study evaluated both the platform usability and the general class perception from the students and the professors involved in the experimentation. This paper demonstrates that the implementation of a robotic platform as a supportive tool for the professor improves the class’ dynamism and the cooperative behavior of the students, by following the Octalysis approach. Finally, the results helped to determine a better role assignment for future cases where the professor implements a robotic platform during class, leaving the theoretical explanations and class control to the professor, and giving the robot the role of enhancing the activities and review exercises.
- Improving education in developing countries using robotic platforms(Springer, 2019-05-24) Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25In developing countries, educational programs have been using an out of date teaching methodology, where students’ only work is to listen to the professors’ lessons without having practical applications or hands-on experience, thereby provoking a decrease in student attention span, motivation, and boredom with learning processes. This work proposes the use of robotic platforms inside elementary schools and universities to improve and evaluate the usability and efectiveness of robots on students’ attention spans, motivation, and knowledge acquirement during their classes. This work mentions a case of study in Mexico where the use of the robotic platforms was evaluated. To evaluate the learning process of undergraduate students, a hexapod robot was used throughout a basic programming course to help the students learn about robotics programming and path planning algorithms. At the end of the course, several surveys were given to the students to evaluate their perceptions about the course and the use of the robotic platform. In the elementary school, a NAO Robot was used to give students four diferent diligences in physics, mathematics and physical education classes. During these experimentations, the attention span of the students and their ability to use the robotic platforms were observed, using a behavior observation protocol; also, their knowledge acquisition before and after class was evaluated. The results showed that the use of a robotic platform in class helps the students improve their knowledge acquisition and increases their motivation and attention span. Also, the surveys and usability analysis demonstrate that the design of the diligences and course projects were sufcient to generate greater interest among the students in the topics taught in school.
