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, Relationship Between Body Schema and Socioemotional Well-Being in Early Childhood: A Comparative Study(2025); The present study explores the deficiencies observed in the development of the body schema and the limited access to socio-emotional tools in early education students. The objective was to analyze the influence of the body schema on the socio-emotional well-being of boys and girls aged 4 to 5 years, belonging to the Teresa Flor Educational Unit, located in Ambato, Ecuador. With a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design of exploratory and explanatory scope, 47 students were evaluated using the Goodenough and Harris tests. Statistical tests were used to test the hypothesis that the development of the body schema positively impacts socioemotional well-being. The results revealed that greater development of the body schema is related to higher self-esteem, better emotional management and more effective social interaction. Objectively applied evaluations showed that children with greater knowledge of their body tend to manage their emotions better and establish stronger social relationships. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of promoting activities that encourage the development of the body schema, since they contribute significantly to socio-emotional well-being in early childhood. These findings highlight the need to incorporate socio-emotional tools and resources in educational programs to guarantee comprehensive development.33 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Why should science fiction be learned in engineering education?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.28 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

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, Non-formal Virtual Training Strategies to Promote Entrepreneurship(2025); In the current context, entrepreneurship requires extensive knowledge for proper development. In Latin America, the lack of expertise in areas such as marketing and financial management leads to a high rate of business failure. This study addresses this issue by implementing a virtual learning environment called Emprende Virtual, designed to promote sustainable entrepreneurship through masterclasses and practical activities. The methodology used was a quantitative approach with an experimental design. A total of 59 participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received training through the digital resource of the virtual environment and a control group that received no intervention. Pre- and post-test surveys were conducted to measure the impact of the virtual learning environment on the participants’ entrepreneurial attitude, knowledge and skills. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, especially in areas such as educational technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and business management. This demonstrates that the strategy not only facilitates access to education but also contributes to the development of essential skills for business success, promoting sustainability and economic growth. Despite limitations such as the lack of geographical representativeness and variability in prior experience, the VLE proves to be an effective tool for developing entrepreneurs in the region.19 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Innovative Learning Environments Through Social Media: Evaluation of Their Impact on Secondary Basic Education(2025); Education has evolved with the integration of information technologies, including the use of social media as innovative tools in educational technology. Although initially conceived for social interaction, platforms such as TikTok, WhatsApp, and Facebook have shown potential to enrich the learning environment and teaching-learning processes. In this context, a four-week didactic intervention was designed and implemented in seventh-year basic education students, focused on reinforcing knowledge in natural sciences through activities on social media. The methodology combined a quantitative and qualitative approach, with the application of surveys and pre- and post-intervention evaluations in three areas: electricity and energy, magnetism, atmosphere and climate. The results showed significant improvements in the categories of magnetism (Z = −3.918, p < 0.001) and atmosphere and climate (Z = −3.324, p = 0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was found in the category of electricity and energy (Z = −1.230, p = 0.219). This indicates that the intervention was more effective in certain areas, suggesting the need to adjust strategies for other topics. The effectiveness of using information technologies in education, particularly social media, to improve academic performance in specific areas is highlighted, proposing their potential as complementary teaching tools and the need to continue researching their application in various educational disciplines13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
