Mirror classes as a pedagogical strategy for learning algorithms and strengthening soft skills
Acquiring the logic of programming in students of first academic event can be complex, knowing that it is a new course for the vast majority; furthermore, these topics are not addressed in basic and secondary education, and there are few schools that include the subject of algorithms and programming within their studies; therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies that achieve a dynamic and interactive way to address the fundamental concepts in algorithms in order to achieve the learning outcomes. The objectives of this presentation are the following: Describe the significant experience of mirror classes, as an inter-institutional and international collaborative learning strategy, for the students of the first programming course.
Show complementary strategies of accompaniment-learning previously established in order to achieve the learning results proposed in the algorithms course. Present how mirror classes foster academic networks between teachers and students from other institutions and countries to promote academic mobility virtually.
