"Children are Assets": Meta-Synthesis of ‘the Value of Children’ in the Lani and Acehnese Tribes
Authors: Laksono Agung Dwi , Wulandari Ratna Dwi
Published: May 2019

The choice of contraceptive methods and the value of children was very closely related. The desire to have many children or to control the number of children was reflected in the people's choice to use contraception or not. This research was conducted to synthesize the value of children in the Acehnese and Lani tribes. The research was conducted with the meta-synthesis method on two manuscripts of the results of ethnographic research on health, namely the "Dilemma of the Family Planning Program" conducted on the Acehnese in East Aceh District, Aceh Province and "Portrait of Noken Children in the Lani Culture" carried out in the Lani Tribe Tolikara Regency, Papua Province. Economically, the Acehnese and Lanny assess children as investments. This applies especially to girls. Socially both tribes judge children as a complement to the life of a family and a source of happiness. Religiously, Acehnese consider that the child is the successor of religion, increasing children is an effort to increase the number of people. While the Lani people believe in Christian teachings that encourage them to spread on the surface of the earth, which was done by multiplying offspring. For Acehnese boys were important. They assume that Acehnese boys could be family pride and successors. Meanwhile, Lani people rate girls more than men. The conclusion of the study was that Acehnese and Lani parents still want a large number of children. Between 4-7 children. Social values of children were a source of happiness. It was also in line with the religious values believed by the parents of the Acehnese and Lani tribes. Parents of both tribes also hold strong economic values of children, children were assets.
Early phonetic learning without phonetic categories -- Insights from large-scale simulations on realistic input
Authors: Schatz Thomas , Feldman Naomi , Goldwater Sharon , Cao Xuan Nga , Dupoux Emmanuel
Published: May 2019

Before they even speak, infants become attuned to the sounds of the language(s) they hear, processing native phonetic contrasts more easily than non-native ones. For example, between 6-8 months and 10-12 months, infants learning American English get better at distinguishing English [ɹ] and [l], as in ‘rock’ vs ‘lock’, relative to infants learning Japanese. Influential accounts of this early phonetic learning phenomenon initially proposed that infants group sounds into native vowel- and consonant-like phonetic categories—like [ɹ] and [l] in English—through a statistical clustering mechanism dubbed ‘distributional learning’. The feasibility of this mechanism for learning phonetic categories has been challenged, however. Here we demonstrate that a distributional learning algorithm operating on naturalistic speech can predict early phonetic learning as observed in Japanese and American English infants, suggesting that infants might learn through distributional learning after all. We further show, however, that contrary to the original distributional learning proposal, our model learns units too brief and too fine-grained acoustically to correspond to phonetic categories. This challenges the influential idea that what infants learn are phonetic categories. More broadly, our work introduces a novel mechanism-driven approach to the study of early phonetic learning, together with a quantitative modeling framework that can handle realistic input. This allows, for the first time, accounts of early phonetic learning to be linked to concrete, systematic predictions regarding infants’ attunement.

Skin color variation: A study on Eastern and North East India
Authors: Maitra Sumit , Chatterjee Diptendu , Bandyopadhyay Arup Ratan
Published: May 2019

Background: Skin pigmentation is one of the most variable phenotypic traits and most noticeable of human polymorphisms. Skin pigmentation in humans is largely determined by the quantity and distribution of the pigment melanin. The literature review on skin color variation revealed a few works on skin pigmentation variation has been conducted in India from Southern, Western and Northern part.
Aims and Objectives: To best of the knowledge, the present discourse is the first attempt to understand skin color variation from Eastern and North Eastern part of India among three populations.
Materials and Methods: The present study consisted of 312 participants from Chakma and Tripuri groups of Tripura, North East India, and participants from Bengalee Hindu caste population from West Bengal. Skin color was measured by Konica Minolta CR-10 spectrophotometer which measures and quantifies the colors with a 3D color space (CIELAB) color space created by 3 axes. All the skin color measurements from each participant were taken from unexposed (underarm) left and right to get a mean and exposed (forehead) to sunlight.
Results: The distribution of skin color variation among the three populations demonstrated significant (p<0.05) difference in lightness for unexposed and exposed indicating lightness in unexposed area. Furthermore, the present study revealed significant difference (p<0.05) in skin color among the ethnic groups across the body location and all three attributes (lightness, redness and yellowness).
Conclusion: Generally, skin color variation may be elucidated by two main factors: individual differences in lightness and yellowness and by and large due to ethnicity, where diversity in redness is due to primarily due to different body locations. Variation in lightness have more characteristic probability. The present study first time reports the wide range of quantitative skin color variation among the three ethnic groups from Eastern and North East India and highest yellowness (b*) among the population from North East India.

The quantitative and qualitative findings show these parents and families of ASD children experienced stigma in various ways which played a major role in making their lives difficult. This study offers a lens through which to view attitudes towards disability, stigmatisation, especially when resources are scarce. It was conducted in Greece during the period of austerity, affecting the delivery of education within social – cultural restraints. So studies at a different time or in another place could produce other findings.
Decentralised Education Policy in Indonesia
Authors: Rahman Ahmad Ardillah
Published: May 2019

This review aims to discover and investigate using available literature, the advantages and the challenges of changing the educational policy from a centralisation to a decentralisation, particularly to look at more closely on teachers’ readiness toward the new educational transformation in Indonesia. Since 2003, with the introduction of decentralisation in Indonesian educational system, teachers and principals have been given more influence and authorities to manage their educational practices. However, there are some problems and challenges faced by teachers and the government in implementing the system. Therefore, this review evaluates benefits and obstacles of the implementation of decentralisation in Indonesian contexts. Findings of this study were gained through a synthesis research where the current empirical studies surrounding the notion of decentralised education were descriptively analysed, integrated and synthesised. It reveals that while the decentralisation has offered several promises that might contribute to the better movement of educational practices, the decentralised education system in Indonesia is still distrait by uneven teachers’ quality, low commitments of teachers and principals, and the poor participation of parents and local societies in succeeding the school committee program. Therefore, in order to succeed the transformation, this review concludes that promoting continual teachers’ education and training, creating teachers’ professional career pathway, and encouraging local monitoring for teachers are fundamental aspects to be developed.

Published: May 2019

The Warwick Postgraduate Colloquium in Computer Science (WPCCS) is an annual event for research students in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick. The aims of the colloquium are to provide: (i) an experience of a conference setting for students, (ii) a place to practise presentation skills, (iii) a place to receive feedback and suggestions on their research, and (iv) an opportunity to learn about research being performed by other attendees. WPCCS has been held annually since 2003, but since 2016 many changes have been made to the event; in particular the introduction of networking aids (such as conference guides and lanyards), a new venue, the introduction of guest speakers and various efforts to encourage attendance. Meanwhile the number of submissions has increased, placing strain on the colloquium’s schedule and budget. In this paper the organising committees from 2016, 2017, and 2018 reflect critically on the experience WPCCS delivers to the attendees. We present an examination of what worked well, what did not work, and what we would like to try in the future, with the aim that these experiences are useful to the organisers of similar events.
Actualización en los puntos clave de la endometriosis
Authors: Ulett Nathaniela María
Published: May 2019

La endometriosis es un desorden ginecológico caracterizado por el desarrollo de tejido endometrial fuera del útero. Es una enfermedad común, que induce una respuesta inflamatoria que más adelante podrá mediar una gran gama de síntomas, entre los que comunmente se destacan, dolor e infertilidad. Se desconoce la causa exacta de la endometriosis, pero se sabe que hay factores de riesgo conocidos para su aparición, como la menarca más temprana y la base genética que expone mayor riesgo con familiares de primer grado afectados. Sobre la etiología, se habla mayormente sobre la teoría de la menstruación retrógrada, la teoría de la metaplasia celómica y la de diseminación linfática o vascular. Para establecer el diagnóstico, la laparoscopía diagnóstica se continúa visualizando como el estándar de oro, aunque hay muchos otros métodos de imagen que nos pueden ser de gran utilidad en la evaluación. Finalmente, para ofrecer un tratamiento adecuado a las pacientes, a pesar de que cada día aparecen más opciones, es necesario individualizar la elección según las características, tolerabilidad y necesidades de cada una. Por lo anterior, existen diferentes tratamientos como: no hormonales, medicamentos hormonales convencionales, quirúrgicos y los emergentes.
Eventos tromboembólicos y el embarazo: actualización en anticoagulación en mujeres embarazadas
Authors: Camacho Solís Ana Elena , Méndez Zamora Ana Milena , Martín Zamora Ana Camila
Published: May 2019

El embarazo se asocia a múltiples cambios fisiológicos y anatómicos que llevan a un estado protrombótico. Este estado incrementa 5 veces el riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso. Además, durante el periodo de gestación y puerperio existen otras condiciones, independientes o relacionadas con el embarazo, en las cuales la tromboprofilaxis farmacológica o la anticoagulación están indicadas. El iniciar la terapia anticoagulante en la mujer embarazada implica un balance de riesgos y beneficios para la madre y el feto así como consideraciones especiales según el tiempo de gestación. La heparina de bajo peso molecular es el tratamiento de elección en la mayoría de las indicaciones, sin embargo, existen casos en los que la warfarina o los anticoagulantes orales directos son de utilidad y están indicados como primera línea.
Estrés oxidativo y antioxidantes: efectos en el embarazo

Published: May 2019

El oxígeno es un elemento importante del cual depende la vida de los organismo aerobios. Sin embargo, también es responsable de la degeneración que se puede dar a nivel celular en nuestro organismo, generando alteraciones orgánicas y funcionales. Se puede afirmar que en cantidades leves, los radicales libres no son nocivos para el cuerpo humano y más bien son parte de procesos beneficiosos para el organismo, pero conforme aumentan y se acumulan se genera el estrés oxidativo, siendo este coadyuvante de la progresión y evolución de enfermedades degeneravas. En el embarazo saludable es normal que se presente un aumento en la producción de radicales libres debido de la actividad placentaria, sin embargo, esto puede sobrepasar a estrés oxidativo si se presentan estímulos nocivos endógenos o exógenos que contribuyan a la carga de radicales libres. Se pueden desarrollar complicaciones como infertilidad o subfertilidad, aborto, preeclampsia, diabetes gestacional o ruptura prematura de membranas.  Es importante mantener un equilibrio oxidante-antioxidante debido a los desenlaces desfavorables, en madre o feto, que pueden tener las patologías mencionadas.

Published: May 2019

La enfermedad de Chagas es una patología infecciosa producida por el parásito Trypanosoma cruzi. Debido a su carga estimada de enfermedad es considerada la enfermedad parasitaria más importante en occidente.

T. cruzi es trasmitido principalmente de manera vectorial y su principal vector es Triatoma dimidiata. Cuando T. cruzi infecta a su hospedero este destruye las células infectadas y provoca una respuesta inflamatoria en diferentes órganos y tejidos. Debido a la suceptibilidad miocárdica y su baja capacidad de regeneración, el corazón es de los principales órganos implicados. La cardiopatía chagásica crónica (CCC) es la complicación más severa de la enfermedad, con gran diversidad de manifestaciones, desde infección asintomática hasta insuficiencia cardiaca con miocardiopatía dilatada y muerte súbita.

Para su diagnóstico se utilizan diferentes técnicas según sea la fase en la que se encuentre la enfermedad. Asimismo, se emplean estudios de gabinete para su evaluación, con el fin de caracterizar de manera precisa la afección cardiaca. El objetivo del tratamiento es el control de la insuficiencia cardiaca y prevención de fenómenos tromboembólicos. Además para el tratamiento contra la infección como tal, se cuenta con nifurtimox y benznidazol, medicamentos a los que se les ha probado su eficacia contra T. cruzi.

dışında armağan ettiği maddi ve manevi değerlerin bir bütünü ve bu bütünlüğün
bir kuşaktan diğerine aktarılmasıdır. Bu önemli değerlerden biriside spordur. Spor,
hareket etme, eylemde bulunma gibi anlamları ifade etmektedir. Ayrıca spor,
belirli bir sistem çerçevesinde, belirli prensipler ve otoriteye dayalı yapılan
eylemlerin rekorla sonuçlandırılmasını amaçlayan etkinlikler olarak da
tanımlanmaktadır. Geniş bir coğrafyaya egemen olan Türkler birçok spor
faaliyetlerinin öncülüğünü yapmış, göç ettikleri her coğrafyada Türk
kültüründen kaynaklanan sporları yaşatmış, geleneksel hale getirmiş ve
kuşaklara aktarmak için çaba harcamışlardır. Bu sporlardan birisi de belirli
bölgelerde top ve sopa ile oynanmış olan “Topa Dara (Topa Garane)” oyunudur.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk kültür ve spor
tarihinde önemli yeri olan bu oyunun geniş bir perspektif ile araştırılması, ulusal
ve uluslararası düzeyde tanıtılmasıdır.

Çalışmada
geçmişin ışığında, günümüzdeki durumu belirtmek için kullanılan araştırma
yöntemlerinden gözden geçirme derleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama
aracı olarak ise mülakat yöntemi ve doküman analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.

Elde edilen veriler ışığında oyunun tarihçesi,

daha öncesine dayandığı özellikle Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinde oynandığı, Yapısı itibariyle
Amerika’da oynanan beyzbol oyunu ile benzeştiği ancak birebir etkileşimin
olamayacağı anlaşılmaktadır. Oyunda kullanılan sopa ve topun halen oyuncuların
kendi imkânlarıyla oluşturdukları doğal ürünlerden meydana getirildiği
görülmüştür. Son yıllarda oyunun unutulmaya yüz tuttuğu belirli köyler dışında
genel olarak yeni kuşaklar tarafından oynanmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Tipe dan Fungsi Humor dalam Acara Indonesia Lawak Klub di Trans 7
Authors: Suaib Ema , Rafli Zainal , Muliastuti Liliana
Published: May 2019

The humor type and function contained in the Indonesian Lawak Klub (ILK) program are interesting to research. There are three types of humor theories in ILK that explain the reasons why someone can  laugh or smile. The three types of humor are the theory of liberation (release), the theory of excellence (superiority), and the theory of incongruity. Whereas the seven functions of humor as communication activities in the social context discussed in this paper are the functions of social control, face-searching tools, building common ground, intelligence, regulating discourse, strengthening social bonds of friendship, and improving tense situations. This paper aims to describe the type of humor theory and the function of humor contained in the ILK program. This research uses the method of qualitative description with observing, note-taking, and study literature techniques. The results of this research then find out how things can arouse laughter or amusement on someone and various functions of humor that are spoken by speakers. This research also illustrates that utterances or dialogues in ILK containing implicatures can produce broader speech meanings than just ordinary utterances. With implicature and humorous discourse in dialogue, criticism and control of the government, the most dominant type of humor theory that appears in ILK is the type of peculiar theory. Whereas the most dominant function of humor appears in ILK is functioned as a tool to improve tense and rigid situations.Tipe dan fungsi humor yang terkandung dalam acara Indonesia Lawak Klub (ILK) menarik untuk diteliti.  Terdapat tiga tipe teori humor dalam ILK yang menjelaskan penyebab mengapa seseorang bisa tertawa atau tersenyum. Ketiga tipe humor itu adalah teori pembebasan (pelepasan), teori keunggulan (superioritas), dan teori keganjilan (incongruity). Tujuh fungsi humor sebagai aktivitas komunikasi dalam konteks sosial yang dibahas dalam tulisan ini, yaitu fungsi mengontrol tindakan sosial, mencari muka/mencari perhatian orang lain, membangun landasan bersama, menunjukkan kecerdasan, mengatur wacana, memperkuat ikatan sosial pertemanan, dan memperbaiki situasi tegang. Tulisan ini bertujuan menggambarkan tipe dan fungsi humor yang terdapat dalam acara ILK. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode deskripsi kualitatif dengan teknik simak, catat, dan studi pustaka. Dari hasil analisis ini ditemukan bagaimana suatu hal dapat membangkitkan tawa atau geli pada seseorang dan berbagai fungsi humor yang diujarkan penutur. Tulisan ini juga menghasilkan gambaran bahwa ujaran atau dialog-dialog dalam ILK yang mengandung implikatur dapat menghasilkan makna ujaran yang lebih luas dari sekadar ujaran biasa. Dengan implikatur dan wacana humor dalam dialog, kritik, dan kontrol terhadap pemerintah ataupun individu dapat dilakukan tanpa terkesan menggurui. Tipe teori humor yang paling dominan muncul dalam ILK, yaitu tipe teori keganjilan; sedangkan fungsi humor yang paling dominan muncul dalam ILK, yaitu sebagai alat untuk memperbaiki situasi tegang dan kaku.
Deception and Israeli Peacemaking since 1967
Authors: Golan Galia
Published: May 2019

The failure to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict for many years
has often been attributed in significant part to the absence of trust in the
sincerity of the other side and, more specifically, to the recalcitrant nature
of the opponent. Analyses of past proposals and actual negotiations have
pointed out missed opportunities, possibly the result of misperceptions
or misunderstandings. Recent archival research, publications, and interviews
regarding the Israeli protagonists reveal that actual deception, as
distinct from ‘misperception’, may have been at play. The article examines
this phenomenon as it has appeared since 1967 in six instances of Israeli
government dealings with its own public and with the US or the international
community, even in recent months, due primarily to an unwillingness
to withdraw from the Occupied Territories or agree to enter serious
negotiations for ending the conflict with the Palestinians.

Objective: To identify the knowledge about physiotherapy as a treatment of urinary incontinence in continent women. Methods: The study was characterized by a cross-sectional and quantitative study. A ten items questionnaire, created by the researchers, was used with related questions about women's health. The sample consisted of 60 continents women, aged between 20-90 years, divided into age groups, accommodating ten participants in each age delimitation as follows: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-90. Results: The results showed that 65% of the women did not know about the physiotherapeutic treatment for UI, 28.33% had heard and 6.67% knew about it. The channels of knowledge selected by the volunteers who claimed to know or hear about physiotherapy in the UI were 18.18% media, 31.82% were people known, 45.45% were health professionals, and 4.55% were other unna/med forms. It was also found that women aged between 60 and 90 years have more knowledge on the subject (15%) than those aged 20 to 39 (5%) and 40 to 59 years (0%). Conclusion: It is concluded, therefore, that continents women need more information regarding physical therapy treatment for urinary incontinence. In addition, this awareness should occur in a multidisciplinary way to cover a greater number of women and information providers, in view of the search for treatment early avoid greater complications.
Blurring the Lines of Traditional Gender Roles among Qatar Young Generations
Authors: Lari Noora
Published: May 2019

How is traditional gender roles and values related to the young generations in the State of Qatar? In the last few decades, rapid socioeconomic development in Qatar has brought dramatic changes regarding the gender roles assigned to men and women. Research shows that geographical settings, economic status, and social and cultural structures are factors that might have great implications for attitudinal shifts among individuals, which can contribute, to the women empowerment process. We use nationally representative survey data from Qatari nationals to explore the relationship between gender stereotypes and young generation in Qatar. Findings indicate that the young Qatari generation is able to play an outstanding role in changing gender role stereotypes through their educational and cultural strength.
Rhythm is a Dancer
Authors: Loos-Sant'Ana Helga , Sant'Ana-Loos René Simonato , Costa Aldemar Balbino da
Published: May 2019

This essay is an invitation to consider the possibilities of dancing as a process of education and human development. The intention of this theoretical work is to bring some foundations about how human development may benefit from dancing as a reference for constructing parameters based on affectivity and the search for existential self-realization. With this ambition, we explore the notions of human development, corporeity, affectivity, interaction, playfulness, arts and dancing. The primary foundation is the Theoretical System of Affectfulness and the respective concepts of Affectfulness and Psychic Cell. Further, we dialogue with other authors in order to expand the discussion. We support dancing as an artistic expression with the potential to extend individual’s perception, balance and sensitivity. If experienced as an activity connected with the sense of harmony that gives us existential pleasure, i.e. if the dancers experience corporeity while willing to connect to the implicit needs of their bodies towards a rhythmic harmony, dancing may lead to discovery of the unfragmented essence of being, in consonance with nature and the universe. This is owed to the potential of dancing to outline affective-emotional parameters that may serve as models to be generalized to other interactional situations, contributing to nourishing a cycle of more positive and pleasant interactions.

The aim of this study was to investigate how it manifests obesity in the school context. The study included 21 obese and 10 directors. Research instruments used were semi-structured interviews with adolescents and questionnaire with the directors. The results show that there is little dialogue between the families of obese and school; the directors are unaware of the treatments performed for obesity by his students, directors attribute the responsibility of feeding the nutritionist at the Department of Education; bullying was presented as a factor in the school context as well, obesity is not regarded as a disease or as a factor of social exclusion, the educators also disclaim any responsibility or interference in this matter. Finally, it appears that obese adolescents are neglected in the context studied.

We need to mobilize students' enthusiasm and creativity, in improving the efficiency of teaching and strengthen students' research interest in intelligent transportation system.
ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Mattar Joao , Ramos Daniela Karine
Published: May 2019

The aim of this article is to explore how active methodologies and digital technologies can foster a more active participation of students in their learning process and suggests possible changes in pedagogical practices. Blended learning, conceived in a stricter sense as the mix of face-to-face and online activities, and in a broader sense as the mix of different methodologies and spaces, is considered the future of educational activities. The following methodologies are discussed: flipped classroom, peer instruction, problem-based learning, project-based learning, and game-based learning. Research shows that these methodologies, when adequately combined with information and communication technologies, result in greater motivation and involvement of the students. Although these strategies do not generate improvement in immediate retention of knowledge, more complex skills are developed when compared to traditional education methods, such as: problem solving, the transfer of knowledge to reality, and retention of knowledge in the longer term. The article concludes with a critique of the contemporary discourses that position the student at the center of the teaching and learning process, claiming for a de-centered pedagogy, in which students interact with each other, teachers and other actors, in collaboratively groups where there is no need for a center, or in which each of these actors can alternatively perform a central function.

Published: May 2019

Considering the definition of the optimal environment tax, according to the sub-optimal choice under real conditions, Marginal cost of emission reduction is regarded as environmental tax payable and listed as a dependent variable. Through setting the independent variables, selecting samples and making empirical analysis, the conclusions of the paper are as follows: The actual environmental tax charged is positively correlated with government supervision and public participation, and negatively correlated with enterprise environmental investment, government environmental expenditure, upgrading of industrial structure and size of enterprise. At last, the paper puts forward some suggestions: strictly enforce the environmental tax, encourage public participation and increase the investment on environmental protection.
Oasis Skateboard Factory: Return to the One-Room Schoolhouse
Authors: Robertson William
Published: May 2019

How can you get young people interested in science and mathematics? What efforts are there to integrate the experiences of high school students into the things they need to do and learn in school? How can action sports, like skateboarding be used to teach science, mathematics, language arts, history and help at-rick and marginalized students to grow in their engagement and motivation in high school, as well as to graduate?

This is in part answered at the Oasis Skateboard Factory (OSF) an alternative high school in Toronto, Canada. The factory, under the direction of founding teacher Craig Morrison, has enjoyed success since it opened in 2008. The OSF enrolls 25 students per semester and they earn academic credits as they develop their artwork, design and manufacturing skills through a skateboard-centric academic construction process. Additionally, students who are part of this academic program have a 95 percent graduation rate.
Socio-cultural theory and the "New Man"

Published: May 2019

The aim of this article is to present the influences that the Soviet historical context of the Russian post-revolution of 1917 had on the construction of cultural historical theory, mainly in the perspective of the creation of a new society and a new man.. The predominance of the Marxist-Leninist vision inspired the thoughts of Lev Vygotsky, Alexander Luria and Alexei Leontiev on human development and learning. We also discuss some applications to the process of teaching learning that historical cultural theory, elaborated in the Soviet historical context, has managed to achieve. For example, the importance of mediation for the learning teaching process; the development of defectology and its influence on inclusive education and the contributions to the neurosciences that had repercussions in the school education.  The methodology used was the bibliographic review. We conclude that understanding the context in which this theory emerges can bring significant contributions to the understanding of the cultural historical approach in our day, such as its potential, its limitations, its challenges and perspectives. The thesis on the importance of speech in social interaction as a promoter of development and the prospective approach of man as a come to be with the mediation of the other, opens a hopeful path for the education of present and future generations.

Published: May 2019

Computational Thinking (CT) has been placing the focus of educational innovation as a set of troubleshooting skills. Unfortunately, there is not a consensus if the teaching methodology and the available materials attend the expectations of the lecturers. To prove the impact that CT training has in primary school, we attempted to evaluate primary school students with a Quasi-Experimental approach and taking Unplugged CT classes in Brazilian Schools with Social and Economic Vulnerabilities. The research happened in two schools to prove if the activities are effective for students who live in areas where there are no electronic devices, Internet or even electrical power can be also benefited. The results show statistically significant improvement. Our study finds shows that we are able to reinforce the claim that CS unplugged is an effective approach and it is an alternative for students who live in unprivileged areas.
