Impacto del uso de software libre en la formación de los ingenieros en sistemas computacionales como alternativa frente al software propietario para el desarrollo de las competencias específicas

Abstract

This review shows the results obtained from the first stage of the TIC's Educational Research project that aims to "Implement the use of free software in students of Computer Systems Engineering as an alternative to proprietary software for the development of specific competencies". In this first stage, it was considered the first specific objective to determine the degree of use of free software in students of the Systems Engineering degree. For the development of the research was considered a mixed methodology, based on previous data analysis, and the application, analysis and interpretation of survey for determining the degree of use, in students. In addition, the observation and participation to the students with which the Free Software Laboratory in Tecvalles will be collaborated and those who benefit from its actions was considered. Finally, this seeks to contribute to the generation of a culture of using free software as a learning strategy in application subjects to improve specific competencies, proposing the use of digital repositories to share code implement free software training days to encourage their use.
