Coding is increasingly recognized as a new literacy that should be encouraged at a young age. This understanding has recontextualized computer science as a compulsory school subject and has informed several developmentally appropriate approaches to computation, including for preschool children. This study focuses on the introduction of three approaches to computation in preschool (3–6 years), specifically computational thinking, programming, and robotics, from a cross-curricular perspective. This paper presents preliminary findings from one of the case studies currently being developed as part of project KML II—Laboratory of Technologies and Learning of Programming and Robotics for Preschool and Elementary School. The purpose of the KML II project is to characterize how approaches to computation can be integrated into preschool and elementary education, across different knowledge domains. The conclusions point to “expression and communication” as an initial framework for computational approaches in preschool, but also to multidisciplinary and more creative methodological activities that offer greater scope for the development of digital and computational competences, as well as for personal and social development.

This study focuses on developing and evaluating an online course aimed at preschool educators and primary school teachers. It presents a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on computational thinking, programming and robotics developed as part of the project “Laboratory for Technology and Programming and Robotics Learning in Primary and Preschool Education in Portugal (KML II)” The MOOC design was inspired by a blended learning model used in teacher professional development at the project’s inception and incorporates theoretical-pedagogical models of MOOC design as well as theoretical models of online interaction in virtual educational environments. The course will be offered on the NAU platform, a Portuguese MOOC platform. A pilot test was conducted with a purposive sample that included both participants from the target audience of the course as well as national and international experts specialised in these domains. The evaluation included a Likert scale questionnaire survey and open-ended questions. The results aim to validate the MOOC’s quality, including its structure, content relevance, proposed activities, and learning design. The findings provide evidence to improve the final version of the MOOC, contributing to its effectiveness and adequacy to the target audience.

El objetivo de este estudio es describir y determinar el estilo de e-liderazgo que asumen los líderes de comunidades virtuales de práctica de innovación educativa que emergen en Facebook. A partir de enfoque cualitativo basado en una metodología descriptiva e interpretativa, se describen los líderes que están al frente de dichas comunidades y se analizan la frecuencia de sus intervenciones, así como las reacciones generadas en los miembros de la comunidad, con el fin de determinar el estilo de e-liderazgo ejercido. Como resultado, se identifican tres tipos de e-liderazgo en función del sexo; en comunidades lideradas por hombres o por instituciones se ha identificado un liderazgo vertical basado en la jerarquización; las mujeres y las comunidades mixtas (lideradas por hombres, mujeres e instituciones) asumen un liderazgo horizontal, basado en la cooperación; y, por último, en los grupos sin un líder determinado se lleva a cabo un liderazgo distribuido entre los miembros. Finalmente se discuten los resultados, y el desarrollo del liderazgo en contextos virtuales determinado por el género, con el fin de avanzar en este campo emergente de conocimiento, como es el e-liderazgo.
