The four books were jointly developed by the National Universities and the Art Specialists Program from the Sadosky Foundation.
The educational materials are intended for teachers of the various courses to integrate content into programming, computer operation, the Internet, and online security and privacy, among others.
The initiative started in 2016 when it had been thought so since inception “Computer science had to be included in a part of formal teaching.” Fernando Chapachnik, Director of the Sadosky Foundation AR Initiative, explained during the hypothetical projection.
“But the challenge was if we got the curriculum space: What would be taught? What content could be taught?”The specialist asked.
In this sense, he has broken it down as “There were no study plans.” It also happens with classic study materials “We had to start identifying what was important to us.”For this purpose, a survey of the state of the situation in other countries and how this issue is being addressed was conducted.
Shapachnik specified that with the materials developed, a meeting was held with the authorities of the National Education Profile to analyze the possibility of integrating this knowledge into the curriculum, but “Everything stopped because of the epidemic.” And I noticed that “We hope that this agenda will resume in the near future, and official announcements can be made in this regard,” he added.
