The Podcast as an Educational Tool: The Case of Motivo de Consulta

2025 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Freire Muñoz, Irina , Iriarte Pérez, Luis

The podcast has become an innovative educational tool that allows the dissemination of knowledge in an accessible and flexible way. In this context, the present study aims to analyze how the podcast Motivo de Consulta contributes to psychology education by transmitting knowledge about mental health in academic and professional contexts. The research follows an exploratory and empirical approach with a qualitative design, developed in several phases: first, a survey was applied to 100 people to identify their learning needs; Subsequently, these results were contrasted with a review of scientific literature to select the topics of the podcast; then, ten episodes were designed, produced and broadcast on Spotify with interviews with psychology experts; Finally, a content analysis was carried out to evaluate the alignment of the podcast with contemporary pedagogical principles. The results showed that the podcast not only addresses the concerns of the public, but also facilitates the appropriation of knowledge through a dynamic and interactive format. It is concluded that Motivo de Consulta is an effective educational strategy that complements traditional teaching methods and promotes autonomous and meaningful learning in psychology training.

Pedagogical Methodology and Inclusive Education

2025 , Olalla, Verónica , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Mantilla, Mónica

Pedagogical 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.

Challenges and Opportunities of Artificial Intelligence in the Media: A Theoretical Approach

2025 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Buele, Jorge

This study explores the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) in the media, specifically in newspapers, radio and television. AI is transforming these industries by automating processes such as news generation, transcription, and content personalization. The aim of this article is to identify, explore and analyze the main advances of AI in the media industry. In the end, the challenges and the effects on audiences are raised. The methodology employed includes a descriptive and analytical approach, based on the analysis of annual reports and case studies of media that have implemented AI. Among the results obtained, the growth in the use of AI to generate automated and personalized content, as well as the integration of virtual presenters, stands out. However, concerns also emerge about the spread of misinformation and the ethical handling of personal data. In conclusion, AI offers significant operational advantages for the media, but it is crucial to balance its implementation with strong ethical management to ensure information quality and protect the rights of audiences.

Why should science fiction be learned in engineering education?

2024 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Perez Gavilanes, Veronica Maricela

This study explores the integration of science fiction in education, highlighting its potential as a powerful pedagogical tool in engineering and other scientific disciplines. By employing science fiction narratives and analogical models, complex concepts such as thermodynamics, energy, and entropy are made more accessible and engaging for students. The research demonstrates that science fiction can motivate students, promote active learning, and foster critical thinking. This interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between theoretical principles and practical application, enriching the educational experience and preparing students to tackle real-world challenges with innovative solutions. The findings suggest that science fiction significantly enhances the educational process, contributing to the development of more competent and creative professionals.

Can artificial intelligence replace journalists? A theoretical approach

2025 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Buele, Jorge

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.
