Narrative as a Key Element for Learning Through Videos

2023 , Salvador P. , Cobos, Miguel

This article explores the role of narrative in video-based learning and its impact on comprehension. The authors conducted a mixed research study, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses, to determine the influence of narrative on students' comprehension of educational videos. Several videos were selected and presented to students from different disciplines, and their comprehension and perception was assessed using questionnaires and observational techniques. The analysis focused on identifying narrative elements in the videos and assessing their presence and impact on students' comprehension. The results showed that videos with a stronger narrative structure had higher levels of comprehension among students. In addition, factors such as video length, content type, video type, and language also influenced comprehension. These results highlight the importance of incorporating narrative techniques, such as story arc and character development, into educational videos to improve learning outcomes. The study underscores the potential of videos as effective educational resources that stimulate critical thinking and provide a more dynamic and meaningful learning experience. © 2023 IEEE.

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

Autonomous Learning Mediated by Digital Technology Processes in Higher Education: A Systematic Review

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

The concept of autonomous learning has been resignified in recent years as a result of the expansion of the different types of study. Online education in higher education institutions has become an effective option to increase and diversify opportunities for access and learning, however, high rates of dropout, reprisal and low averages still persist. academic performance. Recent research shows that the problem is accentuated because most students have difficulty self-regulating their own learning process autonomously. From this perspective, the purpose of the study was to examine and analyze, through a systematic review of the literature, on autonomous/self-regulated learning, theoretical models and determine which variables influence a learning process mediated by technology processes in the higher education. The findings indicate that: (1) autonomous learning is a synonym of self-regulation; (2) Pintrich’s self-regulatory model is the most used in digital contexts; and (3) the self-regulatory variables identified are wide and varied. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Pulmonary cavitation associated with coronavirus infection: case report

2023 , Moya E. , Tutín B. , Urresta F.

The disease caused by SARS COV2 initially identified in the city of Wuhan - China, covers a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions, mostly mild presentations; however, with a percentage of potentially lethal pathologies such as ARDS. There are also findings whose association with the new coronavirus is still uncertain; pleural effusions, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pulmonary cavitations, have been described in patients with SARS COV2 infection. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of pulmonary cavitation in the context of the disease caused by SARS COV2 in a Hospital in Quito-Ecuador. © 2023 Sociedad Madrinela de Neumologia y Cirugia Toracica.

ICT-based learning assessment: understanding its educational dimension in the context of the Bachelor of Science in education degree program of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo

2021 , Cáceres Mesa M.L. , Suárez Monzón N.

The Bachelor of Science in Education degree program at The Universidad Autónoma Del Estado De Hidalgo (UAEH) shows learning assessment results that, for their complexity and significance, challenge teachers in their interpretation as a fundamental tool for better understanding and improving the teaching-learning process. The current scenario calls for the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), as a strategy to promote a follow-up process and individualized feedback of the tasks assigned, thus fostering transparency and effectiveness of the process and, in turn, highlighting the formative dimension of assessment. This study aims to analyse, through a qualitative methodology, how teachers use technology to assess students’ learning. It is backed up by the focus group technique, which generated exchange of experiences; it also produced teachers’ criteria that were triangulated. The main results show that applied technologies can be instrumental in assessment practices, thus encouraging autonomy, independence, awareness and improvement of students’ learning. © 2021, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

Impact of E-Learning on Literacy Learning in the New Academic Normality

2024 , Freire Pazmiño, Julio , Chacón-Castro M. , Chacon-Rangel J.G.

The research of this topic is important at national and international level because it analyzes what happened on March 11, 2020, date on which the World Health Organization declares the coronavirus pandemic; in the same declaration several actions such as forced confinement, social distancing and paralysis of face-to-face activities around the world are provoked. Education was not the exception, challenges were created to comply with academic tasks of all kinds; unfortunately, it was expected that certain areas of education would face great difficulties such as the process of reading and writing. This research visualizes the process of teaching and learning of literacy in virtual education during the new academic normality, diagnoses the process of training and acquisition of knowledge virtually during the pandemic, determines the predominant difficulties of literacy in post-pandemic and analyzes the impact of virtual education during the pandemic. From the qualitative method, it is possible to assess the impact of educational learning on students at the national level through three phases: Phase 1 establishes a diagnosis of the virtual teaching of literacy, Phase 2 determines the predominant difficulties of literacy in post pandemic, and finally, Phase 3 analyzes the impact of virtual teaching during the pandemic. With respect to the above, the data collection instruments applied to 120 basic education students of a public institution in Ecuador were validated through external peer review. The results obtained are the diagnosis of virtual teaching during the COVID 19 pandemic, predominant difficulties of reading and writing in post pandemic, analysis of the reeducation of reading and writing in post pandemic. Finally, the results were socialized with the teachers in order to support the educational processes in literacy. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

2022 , Dillon F. , Jara F. , Rojas, David , Freire Muñoz, Irina

The general objective of this research work was to determine the feasibility of incorporating EVA as a didactic alternative in the teaching of critical medicine in postgraduate students. The research paradigm was of a propositive critical type with a mixed descriptive, explanatory, and correlational approach. The study population was selected through an intentional sampling for convenience and was made up of 90 students and 23 teachers of the postgraduate degree in Critical Medicine from two private universities in Ecuador. The research instruments used were two multiple-choice surveys with a single response on a Likert scale that, prior to their application, were validated and are reliable. The results obtained made it possible to determine the feasibility of incorporating EVAs in the academic training of critical medicine postgraduate students, thus also allowing the reduction of hospital absence times due to the academic training received virtually. © 2022, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.
