2024 , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Patricia Marisol Chango-Cañaveral , Jadán Guerrero, Janio , Washikiat Pedro Tsere-Juma

Higher education through virtual environments is centered on the student, oriented towards interactive learning, in situations that are close to the real world, for which teachers require new communicative, non-verbal skills and an innovative approach to learning, which will accompany their students. Students in the complex process of acquiring even more knowledge of a non-native language. In the same context, the use of open-source technology platforms is becoming the best way to deliver solutions that meet the current need for the process of acquiring an ancestral language, so in this document we will focus on the analysis and use of Cloud Computing Tools as an alternative to complementary material to improve writing skills in the process of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in our case Shuar Chicham. Likewise, teachers should not focus only on online learning but also on interaction with students as Gibson (1993) states; thus, innovative technologies must be means that help reduce the digital technological gap, allowing solutions, answers and agile questions to be given within the teaching-learning process, which is visible with the use of cloud computing tools. Therefore, using cloud computing tools it was proposed to demonstrate if writing skills can be improved in students who learned Shuar Chicham basic.

Analysis of Sustainable Development Goals (2016–2030) and Their Integration into Tourism Activities in Lago Agrio Canton, Sucumbíos Province: SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 15 (Life on Land)

2025 , Patricia Marisol Chango-Cañaveral , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Valeria Jaqueline Morales-Herrera

This study analyzes the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and 15 (Life on Land) into the tourism development strategies of Lago Agrio Canton, Sucumbíos Province, Ecuador. The main objective is to assess how tourism can serve as a driver for sustainable infrastructure development, environmental conservation, and inclusive local growth, in alignment with the 2030 Agenda. A qualitative methodology was adopted, involving documentary analysis with exploratory and descriptive scopes. The sources included national development plans, regional policy frameworks, institutional reports, and the relevant academic literature. This study employed territorial indicators related to infrastructure quality, ecosystem protection, and stakeholder participation to evaluate SDG alignment. The results highlight that sustainable tourism practices—particularly those incorporating corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship—can stimulate innovation and enhance resilience in underdeveloped territories. Wetlands and forested areas emerge as key natural assets with strong potential for ecological tourism and sustainable investment. The findings suggest that collaborative actions between the public and private sectors, guided by SDGs 9 and 15, can generate long-term benefits, including biodiversity preservation, improved service infrastructure, and economic inclusion for local communities. Overall, the research underscores the potential of sustainable tourism as a practical mechanism for localizing the SDGs in fragile yet high-value ecological regions.

2024 , Alejandra Longa-López R. , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Chango-Cañaveral P.M. , Castillo-Naranza R.D.

Music and dance, as expressions of human emotion, play a key role in the different formation of people, since it allows them to happily interact and share spaces that will transcend the structure of their tastes and experiences to form an expression of art of critical attitude, the fact that it can bear fruit. In Pastaza, the cradle of 7 nationalities is fundamentally a place of diverse social and cultural interaction, in which there are different interests and motivations that must be addressed, such as complexity and heritage, heterogeneity, and diversity. The fundamental elements of collective construction, its ability to create diversity beyond the walls of the school, significantly affect the sociocultural environment. These are respected peoples that, although they have changed many customs, such as clothing and language for distinct reasons, they still take pride in their past and present as a true example for the various ethnic communities of Ecuador, because “civilization” does not mean abandoning the historical and cultural baggage of our existence. Starting from this reality, it is intended to use the artistic and cultural details of our original typical costumes as inspiration for this work through research work to rescue artisanal techniques such as seeds, feathers, clothing, and accessories, to later capture the movements of the body on stage. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.

2024 , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Barnuevo-Solis X.A. , Chango- Cañaveral P.M. , Artieda–Ponce M.P. , Imbaquingo -Narváez S.

Painting since ancient times has been part of the indigenous people as a form of expression and a path of development, a creative activity that, like all the others, fluctuates between the net aesthetic impulse and the tacit demand of the market. The painting values the indigenous tradition and seeks to repair the abuses of its population, which has suffered, rejection and ignorance by society, both politically, socially, economically, and culturally over time. The pioneers in indigenist paintings were indigenous people from the Tigua area, among others. For the development of this work, a review of the bibliography is considered, through consultations conducted in the databases of scientific articles focused on the indigenous painting of Ecuador. The results have shown, among other things, the particularities of indigenist painting, they have found that in Ecuador, from the second half of the 20th century, artists such as Eduardo Kingman and Oswaldo Guayasamín appear, and later representatives such as Heriberto Chango, make that indigenous painting be seen in a different way, Roberto Gómez, who uses a pseudonym “CAPAC”, as a recognition of the vindication of culture, ancestral knowledge and of his remote ancestors, in the same way Cristóbal Ortega Maila, Ramón Piaguaje, an artist Amazonian, Naekat Tiwip Chamik, from the Shuar culture. From that vision a current of indigenous painters was born who have taken over the art of painting as a form of representation of their knowledge of nature. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

This research realizes the technical and economic feasibility of the creation and implementation of an ADVENTURE TOUR based in an educational proposal and suggests that “It involves carrying out a series of activities that are generally developed in these natural spaces or their proximities. Unlike other forms of recreation, tourism adventure offers an original opportunity in which the participants experience more and focus on overcoming challenges, achieving collateral effects such as mental strength and releasing stress in each of the activities carried out” (Martínez and Fernández in Gran Tour: Revista de Investigaciones Turísticas 3:51–68, 2011). It is an active process which includes various activities organized in the trip to natural and exotic places, accessible and with a risk that produces adrenaline when doing these extreme sports which takes place in Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas and contains the following proposal. The activities are developed in different places near to the city of Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas; tourism allows to connect the highland with the low land toward the coast, this document has important information from Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas with three proposals for offering different activities in this important province, close to Quito supported on educational proposal. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
