Abstract: The national education system in Cuba is immersed in a necessary third improvement, which establishes among its objectives the gradual introduction of educational robotics, the development of computational thinking skills and the insertion of visual programming languages, such as Scratch, in order to achieve an educational process contextualized to digital technological development, which requires a coherent preparation of the computer science teacher, who does not feel capable of assuming the application of disruptive technologies such as robotics to the pedagogical process managed by this professional. The objective of this study is to assess the pedagogical effectiveness of the overcoming strategy, for the training of computer science teachers in educational robotics. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used: analysis synthesis, to characterize the overcoming process, observation of pedagogical practice and the survey to see the main needs for professional updating and the criteria of users to verify the opinions of computer science teachers as beneficiaries of the proposal. The structuralfunctional systemic method in the development of the overcoming strategy. The results show the effectiveness of the overcoming strategy reflected in the learning of robotic technology and in the creation of robotic prototypes. The improvement of the professional performance modes of the computer science teacher is also appreciated.

Abstract: Given the difference in culture of developers in different regions of the world and in order to allow a coexistence of these cultures at the same time as a contribution of all these developers in development projects which may consist of collaboration in the same project or cooperation in separate projects, this article presents the Rochdev development approach, which proposes a theoretical, horizontal, common development culture shared by all vertical, specific and alternative development cultures. Rochdev stands out for its humanism which consists of respecting the different cultures of IoT (Internet of Things) development without preventing co-development based on the sharing of a super-culture made up of a collection of abstract concepts which is not there to replace the different cultures but which allows us to understand the culture of the other which represents an alternative to its culture good to know and why not learn to enrich its own. This collection of high-level concepts is grouped in a meta-model called “MODIDO”. Rochdev is based on an IoT language called “LIDO”. “LIDO” have “MODIDO” as an abstract syntax and a textual notation called “NTIDO”. This article describes the theorical aspect of the approach. The application of Rochdev to the KIWI cultivation area in Italy is an example of the practice of this approach in a specific agricultural field.
