Inclusive education in higher education: Proposal for a model of care in Ecuador

2021 , Delgado, K , David Alfredo V.P. , Jefferson S.R. , Beatriz C.B.

The advances of inclusive education in the university are implemented in an irrelevant way, despite the provisions of the policies and their foundations, for a university that guarantees in all students the learning, skills and competences they need. To try, the Social Model of Inclusive Education is proposed; which allows identifying its management, by calculating the effectiveness index, uses the cause-effect structure among three variables: i) Policies in inclusive education, ii) conditions of students and iii) attitudes towards students. The indicator variables are derived by developing items that allow the collection of information, formalizing a mathematical model of structural equations. The model was applied in Ecuador, at the National University of Loja, showing that the management effectiveness index in inclusive education is 72.8%, related to a work of greater weight in variables such as: i) Policies in inclusive education: Equal opportunities, support from the university, principles, capacities, comprehensiveness, development and new approach; ii) conditions of the students: political affiliation, judicial past, diversity, identity, learning problems, disability and superior endowment; and iii) attitudes towards diversity: Curriculum and assessment of learning. Concluding, on the importance of inclusive education. © 2021

Twitter Mining for Multiclass Classification Events of Traffic and Pollution

2020 , Chamorro V. , Rivera R. , Varela Aldas, José , Castillo Salazar, David Ricardo , Borja Galeas, Carlos , Guevara Maldonado, César Byron , Arias Flores, Hugo Patricio , Fierro-Saltos W. , Hidalgo-Guijarro J. , Yandún-Velasteguí M.

During the last decade social media have generated tons of data, that is the primal information resource for multiple applications. Analyzing this information let us to discover almost immediately unusual situations, such as traffic jumps, traffic accidents, state of the roads, etc. This research proposes an approach for classifying pollution and traffic tweets automatically. Taking advantage of the information in tweets, it evaluates several machine learning supervised algorithms for text classification, where it determines that the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm achieves the highest accuracy value of 85,8% classifying events of traffic and not traffic. Furthermore, to determine the events that correspond to traffic or pollution we perform a multiclass classification. Where we obtain an accuracy of 78.9%. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Virtual Laboratories for Learning Chemistry and Physics Through Chemlab and Modellus

2023 , Alulima, Lidya , Mena-Alvarado E. , Chacón-Castro M.

In the present-day context, educational institutions have difficulties maintaining technological equipment available to the academic community. Therefore, the technology tools’ implementation for teaching Physics and Chemistry, through virtual laboratories in applications such as Chemlab and Modellus, is pertinent. The objective is to analyze Chemlab and Modellus simulators as didactic strategies that allow integral learning between theory and practice, applied to 200 high-school students of a public educational institution. The methodology is based on a mixed approach to gather information followed by an analysis and interpretation of the results, which are relevant to the use of qualitative and quantitative data based on the measurement of the variables. The subsequent results show satisfaction in the processes according to a survey of professional experts in the area and students who demonstrate to be satisfied acquiring and understanding contents and topics related to the environment reducing the difficulty degree, awakening interest, achieving a balance between theoretical concepts with experimentation and solving exercises, consolidating acquired competencies such as communication and technological skills, critical thinking, autonomy, collaborative work, leadership, decision-making, and resolution capacity. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.

BENCHMARKING USING LEARNING ANALYTICS

2022 , Freire Pazmiño, Julio

Pedagogical research has been based on seeking alternatives that improve the teaching-learning process and the comparison of methodological positions have had priority. This research aims to compare the learning analytics in two groups with different curricular conceptions for decision-making in the transformations of the teaching-learning process. For them, a quantitative methodology was used with its own methods such as the logical historical, the inductive deductive and the synthetic analytical, in the statistical order, the descriptive and the inferential. The main results were that the activities in the parallel that used active teaching-learning methods and collaborative work in small groups had better results than the parallel where traditional teaching-learning methods were used, in addition the activities in both parallels were improving the quality. of the grades as the class period progressed. © 2022, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

Web Page to Promote the Values of School Coexistence in Basic Education Students

2023 , Becerra, Eulalia , Escobar L.

The incorporation of technologies in educational settings has led to changes that have affected the behavior of people, in education it is due to a current need to address this issue of significant relevance such as the lack of practice of ethical values in educational institutions, where it is perceived that students do not apply values. The main objective of this work was with 57 students whose age fluctuates between 10 and 14 years, for which an observation sheet was applied To know if the students apply or not values in the institution, the analysis of the results showed that there are problems of coexistence in the classroom, and in some cases acts of violence among the students are included, conflict situations that in many occasions last longer. Beyond class hours, almost all students show undesirable behaviors in some period of their development, this pattern varies according to the teacher, parent, situation or period. For this reason, the need arises to create web pages as an instructional and pedagogical resource to improve communication in the teaching–learning process of basic education students. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Lyrics Training: An E-learning Approach to Improve Listening Skills

2023 , Martinez V.E. , Rubio D.H. , Torres P.C. , Tituanã G.I. , Lopez M.X. , Naranjo J.E.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educational agents have been forced to apply strategies and methodologies and use new technological tools that allow them to continue with the teaching–learning processes. Because of this, the present research implements an innovative methodology to analyze the contribution of the Lyrics Training method in the development of listening skills for English language improvement. The experiment was carried out with high school seniors from an academic unit in the city of Ambato. A sample of 62 students was divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group, each of 31 learners. When comparing both groups through a t-student test for independent samples, the results showed a p-value lower than 0.05 and a Cohen’s d coefficient higher than 0.8, establishing that the teaching process through the Lyrics Training methodology is efficient. Finally, to verify if the Lyrics Training method is suitable for the selected experimental group, the usability scale (SUS) was applied, in which an average acceptance of more than 70 points was obtained, indicating that, in general terms, the Lyrics Training method through a web page is efficient for teaching the English language. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Editorial Design Based on User Experience Design

2020 , Borja Galeas, Carlos , Guevara Maldonado, César Byron , Castillo Salazar, David Ricardo , Arias Flores, Hugo Patricio , Fierro-Saltos, W. , Rivera, R. , Yandún-Velasteguí, M. , Varela Aldas, José , Hidalgo-Guijarro J.

This research deals with editorial design based on user experience design. The traditional editorial design has had to adapt to the new digital media composition, where multimedia audiovisual elements unthinkable a few years ago need to be integrated. The participation of the reader, as an external observer who only receives information through texts and images, now has new scenarios in which he can actively participate and decide what will come to his hands. In this study, a work methodology based on UxD User Experience Design is presented, in which will generate the editorial design of an educational book on environmental issues, which includes augmented reality for children from 6 to 8 years of age. The aim of this study is to know if an editorial product with augmented reality and developed from the user experience design can improve meaningful learning in a playful and active way. For its development, a composition model based on the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio will be used. Additionally, its graphic composition will be guided by the Massimo Vignelli canon and will be complemented by the reticular model of Beth Tondreau. The augmented reality markers position will also be based on the composition model previously mentioned, which will allow keeping the attention of the reader in the printed document and in the augmented reality animations. The user experience design will be applied with teachers, parents and students from 4 schools in Quito and Ambato. Once the production is completed, the impact on teaching-learning process will be evaluated with a control and a test group, and the methodology with which they will work in the classroom with the educational material developed will be defined. At the end of the study, copies of the book will be delivered to the participating schools of this research for its implementation. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Agogic sciences for innovation in teaching management at the "AIDA GALLEGOS" educational unit

2023 , Basantes M.O.C. , de Rodríguez T.M.L. , Iglecias J.A.T. , Solís G.M.C. , Hinojosa J.D.C.

The lack of knowledge of a pedagogical strategy based on the Agogical Sciences and the psychobiological stages and particularities of the students' age has caused low academic performance of the students, causing little interest in learning; Therefore, it became necessary to consider the objective of determining the knowledge about agogic sciences in the innovation of teaching management that the teachers of the “Aida Gallegos” educational unit have. The methodological approach was focused on the quantitative and descriptive research, where a survey was applied through a closed questionnaire to the 34 teachers of the institution. The results found showed that there are weaknesses in the knowledge of agogic strategies, so the curriculum must be aligned at all levels; This awakens the motivation of teachers to apply strategies in which psychobiological elements can be developed in students. It was concluded that authorities must take into account educational levels and sublevels to direct them towards innovation and strengthening educational management. © Autor(es); 2023.

2024 , Alulima, Lidya , Cueva H.M. , Chiluisa M.M. , Cherres H.

Digital narrative has gained relevance in Social Studies teaching, allowing students to explore concepts in a more dynamic and participatory way. This research aims to integrate digital narrative into existing educational materials and curricula to support teachers in teaching Social Studies. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach is used to evaluate the impact of digital narrative on student learning by collecting data through surveys before and after using digital narratives. The results indicate that digital narrative sparks interest, improves comprehension and retention of information, and strengthens critical thinking and analytical skills. Before the research, 61% of teachers did not use this strategy, but after its application, 97% consider that it generates dynamic and participatory learning in the inter-learning process. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
