| description | Students of the Introduction to Programming courses present low grades and this is reflected by the high failure and academic desertion rates. In this sense, looking for ways to improve and support the student's academic performance in the Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming (FPOO) course, a strategy based on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is proposed. It is supported by an algorithm to form workgroups automatically, which allows motivating students and creates a uniform criterion to develop programming tasks. Under the framework of the quasi-experimental design, the strategy was implemented in different evaluative activities of the FPOO course, which allowed us to answer questions related to the improvement of a student's final grade using the automatic formation of workgroups versus the traditional formation of workgroups. Moreover, we compared the grades obtained when activities are developed with no group formation. The experiments in this paper show that using the collaborative strategy improves students' grades by 22% in the laboratories and by 20% in the final project. In addition, it allows the exchange of knowledge to solve a programming task. This paper concludes that developing strategies that integrate collaboration positively impacts the programming learning process and improves student grades and people skills significantly, which encourage a better learning in programming courses. |

Los cursos de Introducción a la programación presentan bajas calificaciones de los estudiantes, esto se refleja en las altas tasas de mortalidad y deserción académica. En este sentido, buscando formas de mejorar y apoyar el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes del curso CS1 - Fundamentos de Programación Orientada a Objetos (FPOO), este artículo propone una estrategia basada en la metodología Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) apoyada por un algoritmo para la formación de grupos de trabajo automáticos, que busca motivar a los estudiantes y permite adquirir conocimientos de forma homogénea en el desarrollo de actividades de programación. Bajo el marco del diseño cuasi experimental, se implementó la estrategia para diferentes actividades evaluativas en el curso FPOO, que permitió responder cuestiones relacionadas con la mejora de la calificación final de un estudiante utilizando la formación de grupos de trabajo automáticos en comparación a la formación de grupos de trabajo tradicional, y los resultados que se generan en las calificaciones cuando se desarrollan actividades sin formación de grupos. Los experimentos de este trabajo demuestran que el uso de la estrategia de colaboración mejora las calificaciones de los estudiantes en 22% en laboratorios y 20% en el proyecto final. Además, permite intercambiar conocimientos para resolver una tarea de programación. Finalmente, en este trabajo se concluye que el desarrollo de estrategias que integran la colaboración impacta positivamente en el proceso de aprendizaje de programación, mejorando significativamente las calificaciones del estudiante y las habilidades interpersonales que incentivan a mejorar el aprendizaje en los cursos de programación.
