Family functioning and social network addiction in college students of the city of Quito

2024 , Jirón Jiménez, Jonathan , Freire Muñoz, Irina , Iriarte Pérez, Luis

This research aims to analyze the relationship between family functioning and social network addiction in college students in the city of Quito. The research design is nonexperimental cross-sectional, with a quantitative method and a descriptive - correlative scope. Two data collection instruments are used: 1. Social Networks Addiction Questionnaire (ARS) and 2. Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire (FF-SIL). The sample consisted of 274 college students from the city of Quito. The results were 50% of moderately functional families, in addition to a higher prevalence of students with an 'obsession to be informed' and a 'need/obsession to be connected' with 51.8% and 42.3% respectively. Likewise, there is a statistically significant correlation, directly proportional between family functioning and the 'problem' dimension of social networks addiction.

Social Networks, Masculinity and Emotional Intelligence in Men in the City of Quito

2023 , Freire Muñoz, Irina , Jirón Jiménez, Jonathan , Iriarte Pérez, Luis

This study aims to analyze the role played by social networks, as de-territorialized spaces, in the manifestation of emotional intelligence concerning the positioning of hegemonic masculinity among men in Quito. The research design is non-experimental and cross-sectional, using a quantitative method with a descriptive-correlational scope. Two data collection instruments were used, the MASC-1 scale and the Emotional Intelligence Test. The sample consisted of 306 men from the city of Quito. The results were 41,2% each in medium and high positioning on hegemonic masculinity, and 100% of participants use social networks, mainly Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. On Emotional Intelligence, there is a high percentage of the Attention Factor and a low percentage in Excellence concerning the demonstration and ability to express emotions. There is a significant correlation between the use of social networks and a more remarkable ability to understand and recognize emotions in the participants. © 2023 IEEE.

Virtual learning environments as an alternative in the teaching of critical medicine

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.

Impact of the TitíApp Tool on the Recovery of Reading and Writing Processes in Schoolchildren in the City of Quito

2024 , Pérez Pérez, Paulina , Jirón Jiménez, Jonathan , Freire Muñoz, Irina , Iriarte Pérez, Luis

The present study aims to analyze the impact of the TitíApp tool on the recovery of reading and writing processes in schoolchildren in the city of Quito. The research design is experimental and cross-sectional, using a quantitative method with a descriptive-correlational scope. The Reading and Writing Analysis Test (TALE) was used to identify difficulties in acquiring fundamental reading and writing skills in children at the school and preschool level. In addition, the technological tool TitíApp was used to support the recovery of reading and writing processes. The participants were divided into two groups: Group A, consisting of 98 students who were evaluated, then the intervention was carried out with the TitíApp tool, and finally the retest was performed. Group B was composed of 57 students who would be part of the control group. With this group, the intervention with the TitíApp tool was not carried out, but only the evaluation and retest. Among the most significant results, it can be observed that in group A, a low percentage of children show moderate and severe errors in the first evaluation, in the non-reading section, and in the retest this percentage drops significantly. Likewise, an inverse correlation is observed between the total errors in letter reading and reading comprehension, which means that the higher the number of errors in letter identification, the lower the reading comprehension
