Item type:Publication, Facebook as a learning node: a theoretical proposal of a private connectivist group for the collective construction of knowledge in higher education(Frontiers Media SA, 2026-08-12); ; Social networks have transformed the way young people relate to knowledge. The intended pedagogical use in higher education is still barely theorized. Our article proposes a theoretical design of a private Facebook group as a connectivist learning space for university students in the first levels of the Education career. The objective is to theoretically argue how a private Facebook group, structured under connectivist principles, can constitute an intentional learning node that favors the collective construction of knowledge about the role of the teacher in the digital age. Methodologically, we adopt a non-empirical approach, inscribed in the conceptual and theoretical tradition, which articulates the principles of connectivism of Siemens and Downes with the pedagogical possibilities of existing social networks. We include conceptual instructional design without reaching its empirical implementation. Our paper posits a closed, moderated space on a well-known social platform where students can reduce technological friction, activate authentic cognitive and relational connections. We conclude that the instructional design of the group is the determining condition for the emergence of connectivist learning and not the platform itself. © 2026 Londoño-Proaño, Galarza-G and Becerra García. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, El futuro oscuro latinoamericano en Angelus Hostis y Policía del KarmaMuchas obras de ciencia ficción en la literatura, el teatro, el cine, el cómic, la televisión y los videojuegos plantean diferentes futuros de Latinoamérica asociados a la realidad social y política y a las particularidades de cada subregión, pero existen creaciones que tienen puntos y cuestionamientos comunes. En el presente estudio se pretende analizar y comparar dos novelas gráficas: Angelus Hostis (2012), del escritor ecuatoriano Santiago Páez (historia) y Rafael Carrasco (dibujos), y Policía del Karma (2011), del escritor chileno Jorge Baradit (historia y gráficas) y Martín Cáceres (dibujo). Ambas obras de ciencia ficción, del subgénero cyberpunk, están transversalizadas por lo policial. Angelus Hostis es una historia intensa, oscura y conmovedora, surcada por los mitos, el sincronismo religioso y la tecnología. Mientras Policía del Karma es una historia oscura y desgarradora, que evidencia la violencia de las dictaduras latinoamericanas, y coloca elementos como el sincretismo religioso, el militarismo y el chamanismo. Las obras tienen diferencias marcadas, gracias a sus realidades sociales y propias de cada subregión, en el caso de Angelus Hostis es Cuenca en Ecuador, y en el de Policía del Karma es Santiago en Chile. A pesar de que los escenarios de ambas obras son distintos, las dos tienen hallazgos comunes sobre su visión del futuro latinoamericano y el cuestionamiento de la evolución humana en función de la tecnología, que podría resultar en pérdida plausible de la misma humanidad, acaso de las propias emociones. - 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, Pedagogical Methodology and Inclusive EducationPedagogical methodologies in inclusive education are aimed at guaranteeing the right of all students to learn under equal conditions, recognizing and valuing diversity in the classroom. These methodologies are characterized by their flexibility, personalization, and student-centered approach. Among the most prominent are Universal Design for Learning (UDL), cooperative learning, multilevel teaching and project work, which allow content, processes and assessments to be adapted in different styles, rhythms and learning needs according to the needs of students. Therefore, these strategies promote participation, peer collaboration, and the development of cognitive and socio-emotional competencies. It is said that effective inclusion requires the teacher to act as a mediator, adjusting their practices according to the particularities and needs of the group with continuous training in attention to diversity. In addition, inclusive methodologies integrate technological tools, differentiated assessments and accessible materials to eliminate barriers in the development of learning and thus not only improve the academic performance of students with special educational needs, but also the classroom climate and the learning of the entire school community become different, thus consolidating a fairer education, equitable and quality.17 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The teaching of physics from cinema: an epistemological proposal with the film Interstellar(2025)This article explores the potential of science fiction cinema, specifically Christopher Nolan's film Interstellar, as a didactic resource for the teaching of physics and the development of scientific thinking. The main objective is to design a theoretically based didactic proposal that allows teaching both specific content and the epistemological dimension of scientific knowledge. It has a qualitative methodology, based on a content analysis, focused on selected scenes from the film, organized into three categories: representation of scientific knowledge, relationship between science and society, and implicit epistemology. The results show that Interstellar allows complex concepts to be represented in an accessible and critical way, as well as to generate spaces for reflection on the nature and limits of scientific knowledge. It is concluded that the systematic use of cinema in the classroom favors interdisciplinary learning, fosters critical scientific literacy and opens new possibilities for a more contextualized, reflective and formative teaching of physics.

The aim is to analyze how these narratives can encourage critical and ethical reflection in students on issues of technology and humanity. Through non-participant observation, a content analysis was carried out focused on the ethical and emotional aspects of the episode. The conclusions indicate that this type of narrative facilitates the development of analytical skills and allows connecting contemporary concerns with the students' daily lives.24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Can artificial intelligence replace journalists? A theoretical approach(2025); In the digital age, journalism is facing significant transformations due to the impact of artificial intelligence, a technology that optimizes processes, but also poses ethical and technical dilemmas. This study addresses whether AI can replace journalists or whether it should be considered as a complementary tool that enhances their capabilities. The problem lies in the increasing automation of journalistic tasks and its impact on the quality, ethics and professional identity of the sector. The research justifies its relevance due to the need to understand the scope and limitations of this technology to guarantee ethical and contextualized journalism. The methodology adopted is qualitative and based on documentary analysis. Academic studies, technical reports, and case studies were reviewed to evaluate the use of AI in newsrooms, highlighting its capabilities in automation, personalization, and data analysis, along with its ethical and operational limitations. Among the main results, it is identified that artificial intelligence is effective for tasks such as automated news generation and massive data analysis, but its inability to perform critical analysis and ethical decisions limits it as a complete substitute for the journalist. Likewise, their dependence on trained data perpetuates biases that can compromise the credibility of information. This study highlights that artificial intelligence should be conceived as a support for the journalist, enhancing creativity and analytical depth without compromising the essential values of the profession. It also underscores the importance of a synergistic collaboration between technology and journalists, including regulation and training to take advantage of it ethically and effectively.29 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Digital Guide to Educational Podcasts for High School Teachers(2025)This study explores the perception of the effectiveness of a didactic guide designed to facilitate the creation of educational podcasts by secondary school teachers in Ecuador, in response to the growing need for innovative pedagogical tools in the digital context. The research was carried out under a quantitative and qualitative approach, combining structured surveys applied to 30 teachers and in-depth interviews to obtain a detailed vision of the perception and usefulness of the guide. The results reflect a positive acceptance of the didactic guide for the creation of podcasts, considered by teachers as an innovative tool in the classroom. Although some teachers lack prior experience in podcast production, they valued the accessibility and clarity of the guide, highlighting the tutorials as key support. It is concluded that the didactic guide contributes to improving the technological skills of teachers, promoting a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment and fostering a positive attitude towards the integration of digital resources in education. In addition, there is evidence of a limitation in the technical skills of teachers, given that less than fifty percent have had experience in producing a podcast autonomously. This suggests that the technological skills of teachers should continue to be strengthened. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
