El presente trabajo resume los resultados obtenidos después de aplicar la técnica de Análisis de Sentimientos en tweets publicados durante el Debate y las Vueltas Presidenciales Ecuatorianas del 2021. Se exponen criterios y alternativas para organizar y cuantificar las opiniones expresadas en Twitter por miles de usuarios sobre los temas en mención, y los personajes involucrados. Estas técnicas podrían beneficiar a entes gubernamentales que buscan medir la aceptación ciudadana, u organismos privados que procuran conocer la opinión general sobre un servicio o una marca.

Emotional disorders, mainly manifested in depression and anxiety, are challenges that affect a person's feelings, thoughts, and behaviour. In children, different efforts have existed to prevent emotional disorders that, depending on the case, can occur at different stages of academic development. Nevertheless, these attempts have proven to be ineffective among elementary education students. Since most children spend a large part of their time in schools, various authors argue that academic institutions are the prime location for detecting mental disorders as early as possible, in order to effectively guide students to adequate health services. However, are our teachers prepared for it? Are our academic institutions prepared for it? The close relationship between mental health and the process of learning in schools, justifies investigating that may reveal a real, emergent and unattended problem. These results might raise awareness in the academic society about a topic that should be considered at the moment of planning classes. This paper intends to justify further research on the preparation of teachers to deal adequately with students with mental disorders. In order to do so, it has been gathered different theories that show a problem that needs to be addressed. Besides, interviews applied to professors from elementary levels of Chilean schools included in this work, support this theory.

Nowadays, it is safe to say that technology is involved directly or indirectly in all professions and academic fields. Therefore it is common for software engineers to find themselves in multidisciplinary projects that require knowledge and skills different than their own. In this paper, a novel framework for designing and evaluating learning applications is proposed. It is intended for software engineers who may not have the assistance of educators to apply the basic principles of educational psychology while developing an EdTech solution. This framework is presented as a ready-to-use questionnaire to guide anyone who wants to evaluate a learning technology, thus leveraging collaboration between experts with diverse backgrounds. In order to assess its suitability, we present a use case showing the application of this framework on an actual educational software. CCS CONCEPTS • Social and professional topics → Computing education programs; • Software and its engineering → Software implementation planning.
