Alice POO 3D. This article presents the results genera­ted by an impact study on the education software «Alice» has in teaching object-oriented programming (OOP) in the major of students in computer systems engineering from the Instituto Tecno­lógico de Ciudad Victoria (ITCV). The purpose of this study was to measure the academic performance of students in courses that use OOP «Alice» in order to assess whether the use of this software tool helps reduce failure rate. The final evaluation results show that in the group of students from ITCV where»Alice» was used as a support tool, the failure rate was 19 % whereas in the group where it was originally used was of 30 %. Following this study, the Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias de la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas took the initiative to hold a students work in engineering education in telematics. They used «Alice» to su­pport classroom teaching introductory programming and managed to raise stu­dents’ interest in learning to program 90 % to 95 %. Este artículo presenta los resultados que generó un estudio sobre el impacto que el software educativo «Alice» tiene en la enseñanza de la programación orientada a objetos (POO) en estudiantes de la carre­ra de ingeniería en sistemas computacio­nales del Instituto Tecnológico de Ciudad Victoria (ITCV). El propósito de este tra­bajo fue medir el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de los cursos de POO que usan «Alice», con el fin de evaluar si el uso de esta herramienta de software ayuda a reducir la tasa de reprobación. Los resultados de las evaluaciones finales reflejaron que en el grupo de alumnos del ITCV donde se usó “Alice” como herra­mienta de apoyo el índice de reprobación fue del 19 % mientras que en el grupo donde no se utilizó fue del 30 %. A raíz de este estudio, en la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias de la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas tomaron la iniciativa de rea­lizar un trabajo relacionado con alumnos de la carrera de ingeniería en telemática. Usaron “Alice” como apoyo en la clase de introducción a la enseñanza en progra­mación y lograron elevar el interés de los alumnos por aprender a programar de un 90 % a un 95 %.
