Abstract

This article presents results, analysis and discussion derived from research made in a Computer Programming course in Systems and Computer Engineering whose objective was to establish comparative criteria that would capitalize the advantages of Connectivism with windows of time, as a learning instrument, in front of traditional methodology of evaluation by individual written exams. We proceeded to work forming two subgroups so that each one responds to a different methodology of evaluation to then compare them quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show great favorability towards the evaluation methodology supported in Conectivismo. It is concluded that, in a controlled environment, taking advantage of the options provided by the Connectivism, it is possible to achieve the motivation required for a more effective, more lasting learning and more tuned to the natural language of today's young people: technology.
