Introduction State of the art

The argument today is all around us. Whether in The detection of argumentation in texts has been electronic media such as forums or blogs, in carried out at the level of paragraphs, sentences which people write their opinions and present or clauses. Researchers like Moens et al. (2007), elements (evidence) so that these opinions are make the classification of argumentative and accepted as true, as well as in written media, non-argumentative sentences in the Araucaria such as: newspapers, magazines, legal texts, corpus, for which they represent sentences with essays , scientific articles, thesis or research characteristics such as combinations of word reports. From these means, particularly for pairs, verbs and text statistics. Using a Bayes scientific texts, it is necessary to offer reasoned classifier they report 73.75% accuracy. arguments developed from clearly presented Furthermore, Mochales and Moens (2011) use evidence that lead to a consistent conclusion the ECHR corpus of legal texts with 47 (Lindsay, 2011). annotated documents, where the clauses (sub- sentence) of the sentences are classified as In recent years, researchers have studied argumentative or not using a maximum entropy the task of automatic argument processing in a classifier, and report an accuracy of 80% for that variety of fields such as law, with the aim of task. It is important to note that legal texts have facilitating access to the jurisprudence that a particular structure that allows lawyers to supports a case (Mochales and Moens, 2008, clearly identify the arguments. 2011; Wyner and Bench, Capon, 2007; Wyner et al., 2010). In political documents, automatic On the other hand, the identification of argument analysis has been studied to classify argumentative paragraphs is investigated by arguments into concepts and modes such as Florou et al. (2013) who use 5 sets of argument politics, fact, and value (Fierro et al., 2017). In categories (justification, explanation, deduction, scientific papers, particularly in biomedicine, refutation, and conditional) and characteristics automatic argument processing can be applied to based on the verb tense and tense. In this work, more quickly identify arguments for or against a it is possible to identify text segments with hypothesis under investigation (Green, 2015). In argumentation, using a J48 decision tree social networks, argumentation analysis is also classification algorithm, reporting an F measure used to identify the general position (for or of 0.764. against) of comments in a debate (Cabrio and Villata, 2012). There are also studies aimed at Another approach for identifying evaluating argumentation in trials (Persing and argumentation in text segments is presented by Ng, 2015; Stab, 2017). Still, studies are lacking Goudas et al. (2014), who build a corpus from for larger and more complex academic papers, 204 documents collected from social networks, such as academic theses, particularly in Spanish. which are annotated with their premises. They use structural, lexical, contextual, and In this article, we present a method for grammatical features to represent each sentence. identifying argumentative paragraphs using Using a logistic regression classifier they report computational learning techniques with a an F measure of 0.77. representation based on argumentative marker categories: justification, explanation, deduction, Argument structure refutation, and conditional. To evaluate our method, a corpus of thesis arguments and end- The design of the argument structure is made of-course projects were constructed with using the argument diagramming technique with annotated argumentative paragraphs. which it is possible to transfer the arguments from natural language to a structured representation, to analyze and evaluate them. This technique helps students formulate their arguments. This is done by identifying each premise and conclusion with a letter, which are associated with nodes of a graph.

Subsequently, using directed arcs Corpus of Arguments (arrows) it is possible to indicate the relationships between these components. A The corpus was created using the Coltypi simple argument has only one premise that is collection (Collection of theses and research used as the basis to support a conclusion proposals) (González-López and López-López, (Walton, 2005). 2015), which has 468 theses and research proposals from the area of computer science and Argument example: [Today, information technology, written in Spanish.

In particular, our study focuses on the Problem As seen in the example, the first sentence Statement, Justification and Conclusions is a premise (in brackets / P1) that supports the sections, since these are considered highly conclusion in the second sentence (in brackets / argumentative (López Ferrero and García C2). In the simple argument, a premise provides Negroni, 2003). the foundation for supporting the veracity of the associated conclusion.

Sets of patterns were created based that, in conclusion, consequently, definitively, on the review of different sources of finally, in summary, in summarizing account, in argumentative markers in Spanish (Briz et al., itself, in synthesis, in sum, in such a case, then, 2008; Rodríguez, 2009; Sánchez Avendaño, to establish that , finally, imply that, infer that, 2005). Some examples of these patterns are reach it, reach the conclusion, to, to conclude, to 'since-for', for the justification category, this finish, to be able to infer that, therefore, pattern is related to the argumentative therefore, therefore, therefore, therefore, for this component of premise; or 'therefore', for the reason, therefore, finally, to prove that, that, to deduction category, which indicates a summarize, to detach, detach from, I know what conclusion.

Introduction There are previous qualitative research of LMS (Dagger, O'Connor, Lawless, & Walsh, Currently, Information and Communication 2007), (Liaw, 2008), (Piccoli and Adhmad, Technologies (ICT) have become a strategy for 2009), (Al-Busaidi & Al-Shini, 2010), ( Sumak, universities in the development of the teaching- Hericko, Pusnik, and Polancig, 2011), (Shu- learning process, generating in students Personal Shen, 2013), (Humanante, García, & Conde, Learning Environments (PLE, Personal 2015) (Ahmad, 2015) and (Ramirez, Sabat, Learning Environment), (Humanante, García , & Audet, & Lordan, 2017), without However, no Conde, 2015); With the use of ICT, students systematic quantitative studies have been found have the opportunity to study outside the that point to a model for evaluating the university site, without requiring a physical acceptance and performance of LMS. meeting between teachers and students using an e-learning model (Masud, 2016), which has Evaluation studies are found; of the use great advantages in which services can be of technology are: Technology Acceptance offered. academic, through a Learning Model (TAM, Technology Acceptance Model), Management System (LMS), which allow the (Davis, 1989), its purpose is to determine the administration of courses taught at universities. factors of the use of ICT, and is based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA, Theory of Different investigations have been Reasoned Action) (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980); carried out to identify the ability to dynamically Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of create a Virtual Learning Environment EVA Technology (UTAUT) (Venkatesh, Morris, & (VLE, Virtual Learning Enviroment), (Raaij & Davis, 2003). Schepers, 2008); (de Jesús, & Gabriel ,, 2020) I use the EVAs through the “Moodlecloud” The authors (Yong Varela, Rivas Tovar, platform, in order to promote the achievement of & Chaparro, 2010), observed in their study “that learning. the use of TAM has been very supportive in predicting when a system should be (Pineda López, 2020) I generate didactic implemented, and they conclude that students as strategies in virtual methodology for online they advance in their professional careers, they teachers, which allows the continuous increase the use of ICT ”(2010, p.202). improvement of the teaching-learning processes in virtual education. It is necessary to highlight the constructs that define the TAM model: Behavioral The third generation of LMS (Dagger, Intention (BI): It is the degree to which a person O'Connor, Lawless, & Walsh, 2007) that refer to has expressed behaviorally, whether or not they "the strategy of using technological resources plan to use a specific technology; Attitude through Web 2.0, which plays an important role Towards Using (A): An individual's negative or in the use of resources through ICTs external to positive feeling about the performance of the the LMS and that allow students greater objective behavior, for example, using an interaction, with the “e-learning model” (Oprea, information system; Perceived Uselfulness 2014) and “Through the use of technology, new (PU): The degree to which a person believes that learning environments have been generated, the use of the system will help them achieve which facilitate the performance of academic progress in the performance of their work; activities and improve the performance ”(Soto, Perceived Ease of Use (PEU): The degree of Martinez, & Otero, 2009). ease associated with using the system or technology. While for (Rivera, & Dayan, 2020) the use of technological mediations, allow to increase the quality in the teaching-learning processes, and (Rosa, Riaño, & Rodríguez, 2020) observed that academic work is more productive for young people through the use of technological tools and collaborative work.

In this study, the constructs of (Ajzen & There is previous research on LMS. Fishbein, 1980) and (Davis, 1989) were used for Edmodo is a free option LMS for educational (Raaij & Schepers, 2008) in their study on ELV centers, where the corporate author presents applying TAM and as evaluated variables; A, PU elements of support for the interaction of and PEU; while in a PLE study the variables learning, with online tools of free access were: PU, PEU, (Humanante, García, & Conde, (Edmodo, 2018), that previous investigation 2015); On the other hand, and taking into (Sáez & Fernández, 2012), indicate that the use account that ICTs have boomed with the use of of Edmodo allows evaluating student learning mobile devices in recent years, the m-learning through the elements that the corporate author model has been studied in the LMS (Ahmad, Edmodo provides on his platform, Google 2015), using the TAM and UTAUT models, with Classroom is an LMS that in its study (Iftakhar, variables A, BI, PU and FC Condition Factors. 2016) supported by the theory of (Rogers, 2010), The conclusions of the author Ahmad (2015) is by applying a survey to students evaluated the that “reality indicates that not all the scope is use of Classroom in their learning, in Classroom available to cover the acceptance aspects of its corporate author indicates that it is perfect for mobile use in education, for this reason he work inside and outside the classroom; online, describes that there is still much to investigate this platform has different tools, virtual. and contribute to the models for the use of Schoology (Friedman, Hwang, & Kindler, technology in educational centers ”(Ahmad, 2009), its objective was to create a learning 2015). strategy for students and motivate students to study online, resources from external platforms On the other hand, studies indicate that can be integrated, it presents statistics on the LMS must have support resources for students, progress of each student and is a free platform one of them is the virtual library to study outside use (Schoology, 2018) the university (Mee, 2013). The study by (Leppisaari, 2012) stated that a well-designed There are studies for the implementation Online Learning environment allows increasing of ICTs, with experimentation on groups of student learning. For (Junfeng Yang, 2014) students, calculating by statistical coefficients shows in his study that to obtain strategies for the factors of systems that support e-learning, collaborative online learning which used a with interactive virtual campuses, informative mixed methods research method using websites and LMS, in isolation they are questionnaire, interview and content analysis, evaluated with the Cronbach's Alpha the findings could explain the fact that the coefficients, (Cronbach, 1951), to know the level Collaborative Computer Learning, (CSCL, of reliability, and the correlation coefficient to Computer Supported Collaborative Learning), identify the correlation of the evaluated factors. (Huang, Zhang, Chen, & Xu, 2007). The author (Armas Jaramillo, 2020) used quantitative research to assess the quality of For (Navarro, Cristóbal, & Fernández, work using the Cronbach coefficient. 2011) they indicate that the design, development and maintenance of large virtual campuses that Methodology are used for e-learning are complex issues.

For (Pérez, Giampaolo, & Perazzi, 2014) they indicated that the precision they found predominates the value greater than 0.25, which they indicate is due to the lack of planning due to the error in the investigation levels. In this investigation, a result greater than 0.25, this indicates that you must have a strategy in planning possible errors in the LMS. In the study (Pulido et al, 2013) it was found that the correlation between the use of technologies and psychological variables, with correlation results of (-0-001), (0.122) and (0.001), with the LMS there is no relationship between factors.

Introduction Material and methods

The general purpose of this research is to Methodology investigate the level of knowledge of the free software office package in basic education for The research method used was the descriptive both students and teachers, obtaining as a result and exploratory method, based on an analysis a high rate of ignorance of this teaching tool, carried out at the secondary schools in the town, regarding this it was shown great availability and which are: Manuel F. Montoya, Colegio enthusiasm from both parties to get to know it Salvatierra and Técnica 24, where two survey and learn how to use it, as they are aware that instruments and questionnaires were taken to having this new alternative will help improve carry carried out an analysis on the knowledge their performance. and use of the free software office package, this allowed the collection of data, which contributed Although it is true, the Secretary of to the analysis related to the study topic. Public Education (SEP), has set aside a capital for the purchase of office automation package Likewise, the secondary schools were licenses that are used in the laboratories that visited to collect information on the population exist in the different schools, which is the reason of students and teachers of each one of them. for the investigation. , it is noted that a low 푁σ²푍2 percentage of the study population believe that 푛 = (1) some free software office packages are aware, (푁−1)ᵨ2+휎²푍² however, there is resistance to change. The benefit of free software is that it does not have a The formula shown above was applied, cost as such. which showed that 135 students and 44 teachers from the total population of the secondary By adopting this package of free software schools in the town had to be interviewed. Where office, both parties will benefit because in n is equal to the sample size, z is the confidence addition to knowing one that is the Microsoft level, which was determined to be 95%, N equals Suite, it will help to have more than one the number of people that make up the alternative for the development of tasks such as population to be studied (135 students and 44 their assignment. teachers); ⃙ corresponds to the desired sample error, which is 5%. Next, the methods used in the research process will be disclosed, analyzing the data Then, 57 students from the Manuel F. obtained to specify the acceptance of this Montoya secondary school, 55 from the package based on free software, as well as the Technical 24 secondary school and 23 from the topics of: office automation package used in the Salvatierra School were selected. As for the secondary schools of the locality, being this teachers, 20 from the Manuel F. Montoya Microsoft Office in its entirety, also the secondary school were selected, 17 from the programs most used by students and teachers, Technical 24 secondary school and 7 of the both coinciding with the word processors, in the Salvatierra College, to carry out the surveys and same way the places where they use the office questionnaire, in order to obtain corresponding package are shown, obtaining by the teachers data and proceed to the analysis of the with a higher percentage work, while students at information, which were revealing data. school. Once the instruments for data collection The aforementioned results in the have been applied, the results obtained through proposal to migrate to LibreOffice as an the designed instruments will be presented, in alternative to the office software package order to determine relevant information about currently used by Microsoft Office, this will the different environments that exist in each of bring benefits to the institutions that implement the aforementioned schools. Each instrument it, in addition to promoting the use of free will be submitted to the evaluation, from the software in teaching, which will generate methodological point of view, in order to students and teachers expand their knowledge validate the applied tools, allowing to have a and skills by contributing to their academic and greater knowledge regarding the software professional development. installed in each of the secondary schools.

On the other hand, it should be A study was carried out in the secondary mentioned that most of the secondary schools schools in the town of Santa Rosalía (Manuel F. have Microsoft Office parcel installed in their Montoya, Colegio Salvatierra and Técnica 24) to computer laboratories, however, by find out the office package they use. implementing this tool they will benefit from familiarizing themselves with new software What office packages do you use? without having to pay for a license, giving guideline to new knowledge in the field of computing.

Graphic 1 Office equipment parcels used in the secondary Results schools of Santa Rosalía Baja California Sur Source: own elaboration; Taken from the study "Use of Secondary office automation parcel Free Software Office Package in Secondary Schools of Santa Rosalía Baja California Sur" Office packages are computer programs that are used to automate office activities, such as According to the results obtained from writing letters, generating reports, processing the study carried out on secondary school data; The importance of these programs in teachers and students, as shown in Graphic 1, it education is that they are of great help for the was obtained as a result that the three institutions academic development of students, because they surveyed in their entirety use the Microsoft are an instrument for carrying out school work Office office software package. with better presentation and formality, and they also promote quality in the work that students This causes secondary school students present, through the wide range of tools they and teachers to be unaware of other office have, it should be mentioned, in secondary software packages such as free software, which schools is where students have the first contact would provide benefits for the institution in with subjects focused on computing, therefore, terms of economics and for students because it is where they begin to familiarize themselves helps to develop skills and knowledge that with with the package of Office automation, software You cannot own it, as alternatives there throughout the country the office automation are free software packages that have an interface package used for education is the already known similar to Microsoft Office, such as LibreOffice, worldwide Microsoft Office, this is because which is considered optimal to carry out the most of the people automatically relate office migration to free software without causing a automation to the one already mentioned above, drastic change that has an impact on the this being the best known by both teachers and academic development of students or the students of this educational level considering it planning of teachers, because the adaptation the easiest to use, while the different alternatives time to this new package is considered short, Existing pathways are being wasted for the given that it has a friendly and intuitive interface educational field. for all types of users.

The author (Stallman R., 2016) argues that schools have a social mission to educate and teach students to be capable and independent of megacorporations, something that schools are not fulfilling, because they are only limited to the use of Microsoft Office, however, they forget to promote the use of free software, which provokes and increases the students' lack of knowledge about other office software alternatives, such as free software.

Introduction An educational mobile application is the assimilation instrument proposal for this work. In Mexico, only 5.1% of third-year high school Today, most students have portable devices at students can solve a mathematical problem by their fingertips. A mobile application are small, combining fractional and decimal numbers, simple and elegant applications called “apps”, according to the 2017 National Results of the which fulfill specific functions on an electronic Planea Test, which included the sample from the tablet or on a smartphone (Johnson et al., 2012). National Institute for Educational Evaluation In view of the latest technological advances, it is (INEE, 2017). In 2019, the Secretary of Public necessary to take into account that the learning Education, in coordination with the state process of the students has varied, their same educational authorities, carried out the information processing is not the same as some application of the Plan Basic Education 3er test. years ago (Duran-Quispe, 2020). Secondary grade to 1'056,701 students corresponding to 34,209 secondary, public and It would also be desirable to ask the private schools across the country. With Planea, educational authorities to get hold of educational mathematics, language and communication were materials and that they arrive every year at the evaluated, and the results are expected to be Educational Institutions, in order to be used in comparable with those of 2017 and 2018 teaching, learning and developing skills in (PLANEA, 2019). Today in 2020, it will be students (Cruz-Calle, 2020). difficult to compare the results, since INEE did not apply the corresponding sample, due to a Fraction Talks budget cut last year. Professor Nat Banting created a technique called One way to tackle the problem of low "Fraction Talks". This consists of drawing school achievement is to interest infant students fractional square figures using pencil and paper in solving problems of daily life through play. A to improve the reasoning of their students. well-chosen game can be used to: introduce a Squares divided by straight lines, when joined topic, help to better understand the concepts, with others, form new flat geometric figures: strengthen those already acquired, acquire skill squares, rectangles and triangles. The fractional in an algorithm or discover the importance of a square is called the “Fraction Square” (Banting, property, also reinforce automatisms and 2020). consolidate content seen in class. The game helps students to acquire skills in the The teacher in the classroom performs an mathematical development of their knowledge. activity that consists of introducing students to A class with a game is a motivated session from one or more “Fraction Squares”. For example, start to finish, it produces enthusiasm, fun, color some of the sections in the “Fraction interest, unlocking, and a taste for studying and Square” and ask students what fraction of the knowing more mathematics (Salvador, 2017). illuminated part or portion represents the entire square. Students should reason and record on an The game constitutes a form of answer sheet. As the days go by, the teacher relationship and communication between the keeps a history of the answers that his students students and an instrument of assimilation and have, so that he can evaluate his reasoning ability integration in the "world of adults". It has a clear related to fractions. See Figure 1. educational value and turns out to be a methodological element. However, most educational systems consider it an unserious activity, not adequate for the learning processes that take place in the classroom. The game is a didactic instrument that can help us in an active pedagogy, to "do math in the math class", as opposed to passive, repetitive, verbal learning; to take into account the intellectual and affective processes for: the improvement of attitudes, exchanges of points of view, active participation, teamwork, promoting creativity and imagination (Salvador, 2017).

Video games can be considered tools for learning. Currently, video games have characteristics that make them attractive to players and give them great potential as instruments to learn or develop specific strategies for acquiring knowledge (Gros, 2007).

Other characteristics of video games as tools in educational settings are: competition, the presence of objectives, the existence of well- defined rules and the need to make decisions at the moment (Charsky, 2010). See Figure 2.

Figure 1 Fraction Talks Source: (Banting, 2020)

Banting's work is interesting, since: it reinforces, interests and unlocks the student in the classroom and gradually assimilates the use of fundamental mathematical concepts for the following courses. Concepts such as: fraction, representation of fractions and fractional unit.

Remember that the fractional unit is each of the parts obtained by dividing the unit into n equal Figure 2 Educational video game parts (Crilly, 2016). Source: (DIDACTOONS, 2020)

Educational video games Chromecast™ device

Video games are electronic programs that The ChromeCast ™ is a “dongle” or small involve the interaction of one or more people device with an HDMI connection port (High- with a machine or "interface" that generates Definition Multimedia Interface), it connects to graphics (Prensky, 2001). a television and is used to play multimedia content and the internet (GOOGLE, 2020). Once Video games have been gaining more the television is turned on, a configuration app is public presence in recent decades. These have downloaded. The app configures ChromeCast ™ transcended their initial role as a source of and connects to the closest Wi-Fi network. Once entertainment for children and have become a the device is configured, users can download cultural product (Albarracín et al., 2017). The compatible applications, such as a video game target audience has expanded its age range, due developed in this project. to the increase in the number and type of devices that it is possible to play on: laptops, The Chromecast ™ device is shaped like a smartphones and more recently consoles. circular disk and weighs 39 grams, as shown in Figure 3.

This one looked a bit like pinball machines, but instead of a game table it had a television (Pérez-Latorre, 2010). The game called Pong and created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, later founding young engineers of the Atari company (Kent, 2001).

Methodology

This section describes the prototyping methodology. It is the prototyping of software applications, which initially show little functionality. The process follows an iterative development cycle that gradually adds new features until the final product is finished. (Sommerville, 2011)

Below are the main activities to develop a prototype:

1) Identification of requirements.

2) Development of the initial prototype. Figure 4 Prototype one Source: self made 3) Review of the prototype. 2. Prototype two 4) Improve the prototype. Prototype One was reviewed and modified to

make it a Chromecast ™ app. That is, adding 1. Prototype one software libraries to a Chrome app (GOOGLE,

2020). A Chromecast ™ application is defined The first prototype was a to as the sum of two applications running at the generate "Fraction Squares", that is, a puzzle same time: “the sender and the receiver”. The made up of flat geometric figures that can be of "sender application" is installed on mobile different colors and sizes as already mentioned. devices and the "receiver application" is See Figure 4. installed on the Chromecast ™. In the end, they

interact with TV. See Figure 5. With the following user requirements:

i. Draw squares, rectangles, and triangles to form puzzles.

ii. Select the fraction that represents the Figure. iii. Draw right triangles, isosceles or scalenes according to the fraction they represent. iv. Select the color of the figures.

v. Make the figures move up, down, left, and Figure 5 Prototype two right. Source: self made

3. Prototype three

With the previous prototype, the following requirements are requested to be added:

i. Puzzles can be added to containers called challenges.

ii. The puzzles can be used in as many challenges as desired and can also be repeated in the same challenge. iii. A list is requested to add new puzzles. iv. A list of challenges is requested so that new challenges can be created and the desired puzzles can be assigned.

Lists and challenges are managed in this Figure 7 Graphical interface of the mobile app prototype. A challenge is an activity that can Source: self made include one or more puzzles and the teacher decides when to apply by dates (activity 4. Prototype four calendar). In the "receiver application" the methods and user interface to manage the puzzle Here a database was added to store the question- list by challenge are added, as can be seen in answer relationship in a table called Figure 6. Challenges_Puzzle. In addition the following requirements are added:

i. Each puzzle belonging to a challenge can be assigned a question and an answer.

ii. The challenges can be published to be used in the mobile application.

With the “sender application”, a screen was added to enter questions and answers. There are three types of possible answers: those that indicate integers, fractions and colors. In this prototype only the response in the form of fractions was used. See Figure 8.

Figure 6 Prototype three Source: self made

The "sender application" has been modified to allow you to create puzzles as in the previous prototype, but also have the option of creating new challenges and adding previously made puzzles to it from the puzzle list. See the graphical interface in Figure 7.
