Item type:Publication, Algoritmos de aprendizaje para predecir el uso de la inteligencia artificial generativa en estudiantes universitariosThe rise of generative artificial intelligence has transformed educational processes in higher education, generating both opportunities and challenges in university training. This study aimed to analyze machine learning algorithms to predict the use of ChatGPT and Gemini among students at the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo in Ecuador. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design was employed, with a sample of 699 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a statistically validated questionnaire and processed using SPSS and Orange Data Mining. The results showed that sociodemographic variables (sex, age, religion, and academic semester) did not present significant associations with usage preference, indicating low explanatory power. In contrast, the frequency of generative artificial intelligence use was a relevant predictor, highlighting the importance of habit as a determinant of adoption. Furthermore, the Random Forest and AdaBoost algorithms achieved the highest levels of accuracy, confirming the effectiveness of ensemble methods. It is concluded that socio-educational conditions better explain student behavior than demographic factors, consolidating ChatGPT as the most used tool.

Item type:Publication, Structural transformations in higher education offerings: modality transition, institutional heterogeneityThe technologization of higher education has advanced unevenly among national systems, and research gaps persist on the mechanisms by which this transformation is institutionalized in the formal academic offer. In this framework, this study analyzes the evolution of the modalities of academic offer in Ecuadorian higher education over three consecutive time periods. To this end, a database of 8, 710 third and fourth level degrees officially registered in Ecuador was used, on which descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out. The results reveal a structural, cross-cutting and heterogeneous transformation, expressed in the progressive adoption of online and hybrid modalities and consolidated in the most recent period. Factors such as the level of education, the epistemological nature of the programs, the type of institutional funding, and the geographical location acted as modulating variables of change, either accelerating, slowing down, or postponing it. The findings of this study allow us to formulate a set of proposals aimed at strengthening the quality, equity and effectiveness of higher education in non-face-to-face modalities. The practical implications of the study are related to territorial equity policies in the distribution of academic offerings, differentiated digitization strategies according to the type of institutional funding, quality regulation, and the need to propose a strategic reconfiguration of institutional offerings. © 2026 Galarza-G and Ruiz-Onofre. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Environmental audiovisual narratives in higher education: the music video as a transversal didactic strategy for education for sustainable developmentHigher education institutions are facing a growing challenge: to train professionals who are not only technically competent, but also aware of their responsibility towards environmental sustainability. Despite the urgency of the global climate crisis and the commitments set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda, sustainability education in universities remains fragmented and rarely integrated as a cross-disciplinary competence. This article examines the pedagogical potential of music videos with explicit environmental messages as digital narratives to foster sustainability awareness among university students, regardless of their field of study. Three video clips were selected from a corpus of twelve candidates, through explicit criteria that include cultural reach, centrality of the environmental message, and pedagogical suitability for higher education. Each case is analyzed through a narrative-environmental-SDG matrix that articulates audiovisual resources, environmental problems represented, responsible agents, scale of impact and links with the Sustainable Development Goals. From the analysis, a conceptual proposal for didactic application is derived in three phases such as pre-visualization, guided audiovisual analysis and professional transfer, based on the theory of significant learning and the pedagogy of digital narratives. The proposal is applicable transversally to university curricula and contributes to the intersection between digital narrative pedagogy and Education for Sustainable Development, identifying a culturally powerful and systematically underutilized resource for sustainability training in higher education. © 2026 Londoño-Proaño and Zurita-Lagos.
