Learning Outcomes and the TeachingLearning Process: A proposal Nowadays computer programming and disciplines associated with informatics are increasingly necessary for the training of future professionals. The challenge is even greater if we think about the training of future computer engineers, as specialists in the development of software systems. On the other hand, the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of the University of La Frontera is developing a review of the curricula of its 14 Civil Engineering careers, in the context of which the process of redesigning the career of Computer Engineering is framed. This paper presents a proposal called EMRA2, that aims to discuss the learning outcomes and its relationship with Bloomu0027s Taxonomy and the teachinglearning process. The results show that a more detailed review of the learning outcomes and their alignment with the levels of curricular advancement, the training cycles, and Bloomu0027s Taxonomy must be carried out.

An exploration of STEM freshmens attitudes, engagement and autonomous learning in introductory computer programming Programming skills and computational thinking are fundamental concerns in professional training in Science, Technologyxe2x80x99 Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In spite of this, in the Chilean higher education system, as in most parts of the world, teaching programming is a challenging endeavor, partly because the majority of freshmen students in STEM undergraduate programs have not been introduced to the fundamentals of the discipline and its applications in K12 education. Therefore, studentsu0027 attitudes, engagement, and autonomous learning can make a difference in how students in STEM disciplines in higher education face their first programming course. In the present study, we carried out measurement of variables associated to these constructs involving a sample of 1694 freshmen of seventeen STEM programs in a Chilean research university. Relevant differences were found among different STEM programs, and by student gender. Implications of the results obtained and future research avenues are discussed.
