Abstract
Cognitive virtual machines from the perspective of human computational thinking, help students to learn how to solve complex problems more easily and automatically without using technolog. This paper presents a research that aims to know the students' perception of the usefulness, ease and enjoyment of the use of cognitive virtual machines. The study was carried out within the framework of a UPV/EHU Teaching Innovation project with students from the last course of the Primary Education Degree (Faculty of Education in Bilbao), which aimed to analyze and create cognitive virtual machines to solve problems of an academic nature of university students. For this, it was carried out in a descriptive quantitative study. The study concludes that students value positively the use of cognitive virtual machines to perform useful learning.
