Item type:Publication, Data-Driven Profiling of Reading Processes in Secondary Students: Learning Analytics Insights From PROLEC AssessmentThe integration of Learning Analytics (LA) into traditional psychometric assessments offers a transformative path for personalizing secondary education. This study proposes a “psychometric-first” analytical pipeline that converts item-level responses from the PROLEC-SE-R battery into actionable learner models for Interactive Learning Ecosystems (ILE). Using data from 256 Ecuadorian secondary students, we applied Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CATPCA) to address the ordinal nature of the psychometric data, identifying four latent dimensions of reading: lexical, syntactic, semantic, and integration processes. Subsequently, a k-means clustering algorithm identified three distinct cognitive profiles: At-Risk (12.0%), Average (56.8%), and High-Performance (31.2%). The internal validity of these clusters was confirmed through a Davies-Bouldin index of 1.206 and stability analysis via Jaccard bootstrapping. To bridge the gap between psychometric profiling and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), we developed a rule-based mapping for UI/UX adaptations, where profiles trigger differentiated scaffolding—such as intensive audio-support for at-risk students and complex inferential challenges for high-performers. Results demonstrate that this scalable approach provides a theoretically grounded alternative to hardware-dependent analytics (e.g., eye-tracking) in low-resource contexts. This study contributes to the field of educational data mining by operationalizing latent cognitive features into dynamic instructional interventions, fostering more inclusive and adaptive digital learning environments. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Designing the future: Star Trek as visual culture, speculative design, and imagination activator in human–technology interactionScience fiction audiovisual narratives function as spaces for cultural and design experimentation in which technological interfaces, interactions, and imaginaries are visually articulated before their material realization. From this perspective, the present study aims to analyze Star Trek as a paradigmatic case of visual culture and speculative design, examining how its audiovisual narratives operate as triggers of the imagination that shape expectations about human-technology interaction and contemporary landscapes of communication. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on non-participant observation and focused audiovisual content analysis, based on the systematic review of episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, in order to identify and categorize technological artifacts according to their communicative, interactional and design functions. These representations were later analyzed in a comparative way with technological developments documented through a bibliographic review in specialized databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar. The results show that devices such as portable communicators, voice-controlled interfaces, immersive virtual environments, telepresence systems and diagnostic tools operate as visual and communicative prototypes, influencing interaction paradigms and design expectations present in contemporary technologies. Rather than establishing direct causal relationships, the study concludes that science fiction audiovisual narratives symbolically contribute to technological innovation by mediating meanings, imaginaries, and design logics, positioning Star Trek as a form of speculative design within visual culture that articulates design, communication, and human-technology interaction in contemporary media environments. © 2026 Londoño-Proaño. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Loneliness, Emotional Fatigue, Social Dysfunction, and Suicide Risk in Ecuadorian University Students: A Mediation Analysis(Russian Psychological Society, 2026); Revelo-Sánchez, PriscilaBackground. Suicidal risk in university students does not require analysis solely from clinical parameters; it is also necessary to understand it from the perspective of psychosocial factors and the everyday life situations to which the students are mostly exposed. Furthermore, it is a phenomenon with multiple causes, so studying it by integrating the complexity of various actors can help us understand not only direct dynamics but also indirect, multifaceted ones. Objective. To estimate a sequential and latent multiple mediation model of emotional fatigue and social dysfunction in the relationship between loneliness and suicidal risk in Ecuadorian university students. Design. A descriptive, cross-sectional, multiple mediation study using structural equation modelling (SEM). The sample comprised 943 undergraduate students (64.4% women, 35.6% men) from six universities (61.1% public) in four Ecuadorian cities, aged between 18 and 47 years (M=21.62, SD=3.81). Results. Loneliness, emotional fatigue, and social dysfunction are latent predictors of suicidal risk, explaining 60% of its variance. Loneliness exerts both a direct effect on suicide risk and an indirect effect through the sequential multiple mediation of emotional fatigue and social dysfunction. Conclusion. Academic risk factors such as loneliness, emotional fatigue, and social dysfunction are key attributes to consider for preventing suicidal behavior in university students. These predictors can dynamically interact to generate both direct and indirect effects, allowing for a better understanding of the complexity of this phenomenon. © Moreta-Herrera, R., Gordón-Villalba, P., Rodas, J.A., Cuesta-Andaluz, E., Revelo-Sánchez, P., 2026. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The emotional cost of service: a comparison between health and education professionals(2025); Daphne S. Narváez-AlmeidaThere is an emotional toll on healthcare workers and also on educators, who experience stress and trauma in their daily work. The objective of this study is to compare the manifestation of Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction in these two groups. To measure this emotional toll, the PROQoL IV test was administered. The results showed that while both groups experience greater Compassion Fatigue the longer they have been in their profession, it is educators who show a deeper burnout. It is suggested that future tools be developed to enable teachers to manage these situations effectively without compromising their quality of life. © 2025 IEEE.13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Inclusive education and psychological wellbeing: Support strategies for students in diverse settingsThis study examines the relationship between inclusive education and psychological wellbeing, emphasizing pedagogical and institutional strategies that promote students’ active participation in diverse educational contexts. The purpose of the research is to analyze the main barriers affecting inclusion and emotional wellbeing in school settings and to identify support strategies with the greatest perceived impact on students’ engagement and retention. A qualitative, hermeneutic-interpretative approach was adopted, based on a documentary review of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. Peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and institutional reports were selected from recognized databases such as Scopus, SciELO, ERIC, and IEEE Xplore. The analysis focused on inclusive education, psychological wellbeing, teacher training, socioemotional strategies, and educational policy. The results reveal that the most significant barriers to inclusive education are insufficient teacher training in inclusive and socioemotional practices (reported in 85% of the reviewed studies), the disconnect between pedagogical strategies and students’ psychological needs (78%), and the lack of adaptive educational resources (72%). Additionally, limited emotional support systems and weak institutional policies oriented toward wellbeing contribute to higher levels of demotivation and school dropout, particularly in vulnerable regions. Conversely, strategies such as Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) showed the highest perceived impact, with effectiveness scores of 4.6 and 4.4 out of 5, respectively. The study concludes that inclusive education cannot be achieved without systematically addressing students’ psychological wellbeing. Integrating socioemotional education, strengthening teacher training, and aligning public policies with inclusive and human-centered approaches are essential to fostering equitable, safe, and meaningful learning environments. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive educational models that connect pedagogical, emotional, and institutional dimensions.</jats:p>4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
