Item type:Publication, The Effectiveness of Animated Videos in Secondary School Students’ Understanding of Molecular Processes: An Experimental Study(2026); ; The use of educational animationsEducational animations, such as those created with PowtoonPowtoon, has established itself as an effective strategy for teaching complex scientific concepts in secondary education. In this study, the objective was to evaluate the effectivenessEffectiveness of these animations in improving students’ comprehension, motivation, and academic performance. The research was conducted with a sample of 26 tenth-grade students from the Josué Educational Unit in Ambato, Ecuador, selected through non-probabilistic sampling. The instructional design was based on the ADDIE model, integrating principles of the STEM approach in the development of the animated videos. To measure the impact of the intervention, a pretest–posttest design was applied, and the data were processed in SPSS v.27 using Student’s T-test for related samples. The results showed statistically significant differences between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05), confirming an improvement in both the understanding of scientific concepts and academic performance. Likewise, an increase in students’ motivation and interest in learning science was observed. In conclusion, educational animationsEducational animations developed with PowtoonPowtoon are an effective teaching strategy for promoting more dynamic and meaningful learning in secondary education. However, their implementation requires teacher training and access to technological resources, factors that may limit their application in certain educational contexts. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Learning Natural Science Through Interactive ResourcesLearning Natural Sciences through interactive resources enhances the understanding of complex concepts by offering visual and hands-on experiences.

Item type:Publication, Technological Pedagogical Strategies in the Improvement of Basic Functions and Management of Mathematical OperationsThis study aimed to analyze the contribution of techno-pedagogical strategies in strengthening mastery in mathematical multiplication with students at the basic elementary level in Ecuador. The post-positivist paradigm, quantitative approach, quasi-experimental and comparative design was used, with pre-test and post-test to 4 groups (A, N, B and G) of 30 students each. The first A was the control and the remaining three N, B and G, the experimental ones. During the pre-test, the groups received training through demonstration strategies in the classroom, exercises and teamwork, evaluated with a knowledge test of ten exercises with true and false options. The following week (post-test), group A received reinforcement with the same strategies, while the others received it simultaneously in separate classrooms, with different teachers, using technological strategies based on the tools Nearpod, Blooket and Genially, to be evaluated again using the same strategy. The results indicate that for group A, there were no significant differences between the median scores (p ≥ 0.05) while, in the remaining groups, a significant improvement was observed (p = 0.000), where group B, using the Blooket resource, reflected a greater increase in the median score. It is concluded that these resources can be integrated as pedagogical strategies and significantly favor the mastery of the basic mathematical function in multiplication and specifically with the use of Blooket, highlighting the importance of technological innovation in educational training.43 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Methodical formulas used in the production of scientific articles in education sciences(2024); Resumen: Introducción: Se busca analizar la metodología empleada en la producción de artículos científicos en ciencias de la educación en Iberoamérica, desde una mirada cualitativa y cuantitativa. Metodología: Es interpretativa, de carácter descriptivo a partir del método de revisión sistemática sobre artículos procedentes de revistas indexadas en SCOPUS, incluyéndose aquellas que tuvieron desarrollo principalmente en el contexto iberoamericano en el intervalo de 10 años). Se reflexionó sobre la investigación en Ciencias de la educación y su producción metódica cuantitativa y cualitativa, considerando encuentros y desencuentros, así como para considerar la exégesis y eiségeis para ejercer los enfoques Resultados: Se consultó de manera sistemática 20 artículos de naturaleza cuantitativa, cualitativa y mixta de diferentes países como: México, Ecuador, Argentina, Perú, Cuba, Chile e incluso India, con particular interés hispanoamericano. Discusión: La producción científica contemporánea se centra principalmente en la ejecución de estudios cuantitativos, destacando a nivel de la región países como Brasil y México con mayor cantidad de publicaciones, proceso que amerita una revisión exhaustiva. Conclusiones: Se halló como metodología predominante la cuantitativa. Las tendencias hacia el camino cuantitativo conducen a repensarse el abordaje de los estudios en Ciencias de la Educación dentro de los senderos cualitativos.45 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
