Item type:Publication, Smart Learning for Dyscalculia: Cognitive Support with a Pedagogical Approach(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026); ; ; This study explores the impact of the cognitive rehabilitation of dyscalculia, assessing its effectiveness in improving mathematical competencies and its potential as a complementary tool in educational and therapeutic settings. Preliminary results suggest a significant improvement in numerical performance, highlighting the importance of technology in inclusive education. Smart Learning for Dyscalculia represents an innovative pedagogical approach that combines adaptive technologies with inclusive educational strategies to support learners who experience persistent difficulties in mathematical cognition. Dyscalculia often affects numerical processing, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills, leading to increased anxiety and reduced confidence in formal learning contexts. To address these challenges, Smart Learning environments integrate intelligent tutoring systems, interactive applications, and serious games designed to provide personalized guidance, real-time feedback, and dynamic scaffolding. From a pedagogical perspective, this approach emphasizes student-centered learning by recognizing individual rhythms, strengthening working memory, and promoting motivation through gamification and challenge-based tasks. Immediate feedback and progressive difficulty levels foster critical thinking, while reducing frustration and promoting a sense of achievement. The role of the teacher remains essential, as educators act as facilitators who interpret data from smart systems, adapt strategies, and provide socio-emotional support to ensure equitable learning outcomes. This cognitive support framework not only leverages technology to mitigate mathematical learning barriers, but also advances inclusive education by aligning innovation with pedagogical intentionality. Ultimately, Smart Learning for Dyscalculia contributes to the development of essential mathematical competencies, ensuring that students with diverse needs can participate fully and effectively in academic and everyday contexts. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, FLAG: Fatty Liver Awareness Game for Liver Health Literacy in Last-Semester Software Engineering Students(MDPI AG, 2026-05-01); Vasquez-Cevallos, LeonelNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease affects approximately thirty percent of the global population, yet public awareness remains dangerously low among young adults facing occupational risk factors. This study introduces the Fatty Liver Awareness Game (FLAG), an educational serious game designed to improve liver health literacy among software engineering students at the University of Guayaquil. While evaluated with this specific sample, FLAG is intended for the broader target population of young adults in developing nations who face occupational sedentary risk and limited access to preventive health education. Through a controlled experiment with fifty participants randomly assigned to game-based or traditional lecture instruction, the game demonstrated superior effectiveness, with a twenty-percentage-point advantage in post-test scores and a seventy-two percent reduction in incorrect responses compared to fifty percent in the lecture group. The large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.43) and reduced performance variability among game participants indicate that interactive, feedback-rich learning environments can outperform passive instruction for this population and content domain. While the present design does not isolate the contribution of individual game elements—such as narrative framing, explanatory feedback, or mini-game interleaving—the results establish FLAG as a replicable model for digital health interventions targeting underserved populations at critical developmental junctures. Future component analyses are needed to determine which specific design features drive the observed advantages. © 2026 by the authors. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Q’inqu: Inclusive Board Game for the Integration of People with Disabilities(2020); ; Altamirano, I.The educational inclusion of people with disabilities continues to be a great challenge for society. Due to the field’s diversity and complexity, people with disabilities have few opportunities to be integrated into educational activities or even entertainment. This article describes a novel educational resource developed within the field of applied technologies. Q’inqu is an inclusive board game that encourages the family and educational inclusion of people with disabilities. Q’inqu is a Quechua word meaning “Labyrinth”. This is a metaphor for the challenges faced by families living with a person with disabilities, and it also reflects its narrative structure based on the “Legend of the Incas’ treasure”. Q’inqu has the general theme of a traditional board game where turns are taken until the treasure is found. What makes it different is the integration of inclusive elements through the use of technology. There are cards with a braille code, a rectangular board with high relief, and a circular board with textures. An App reads QR codes and also patterns, which present additional information based on augmented reality. These features provide support to blind players and to those who are unable to read, making the game both entertaining and educational. Q’inqu was developed and tested by a multidisciplinary team of 80 people, which included students and professionals from design, education and pedagogy. The most relevant result was that out of 367 ideas that were presented, it was awarded first prize in the category Toys for children with disabilities in the CMA contest held in Ecuador. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Scopus© Citations 6 35 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analysis and improvement of the web accessibility of a tele-rehabilitation platform for hip arthroplasty patients(2019); Villarreal S.This paper explains some of the challenges that exist to make accessible the web interfaces of a Tele-rehabilitation platform for hip arthroplasty patients and propose an iterative method to improve the level of accessibility using automatic evaluation tools. Web accessibility is not concerned with the specific conditions of people who use the Web, but with the impact that their conditions have on their ability to use it. If the web interfaces of the Tele-rehabilitation platform for hip arthroplasty patients are not accessible enough, the patients will not be able to understand, perceive or operate adequately the platform to benefit completely of the physical therapy. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) provides a set of rules and recommendations to help solve the problems of Web accessibility. Additionally, there are evaluation tools that allow identifying main web accessibility problems. These tools are best exploited when used by accessibility experts. The purpose of this research is threefold. First, to present the results of a web accessibility evaluation of the web interfaces of the Tele-rehabilitation Platform for Hip Arthroplasty Patients using three the evaluation tools: WAVE, AChecker and TAW. Second, to analyze the results presented by the tools according to the WCAG 2.0 guidelines to define a list of accessibility improvements. Third, to implement the improvements through the re-factorization of the existing code and re-testing the improved web interfaces to verify that they meet acceptable accessibility levels. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2019.19 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Comprehensive Plan for the Induction of Environmental Awareness Based on Household Waste(2026)This article presents the results of an investigation applied to 30 residents of a neighborhood in the municipality of Piedecuesta, Santander. The purpose of this research is to develop a comprehensive plan to promote environmental awareness based on household waste (DR), through the application of a survey that allows to know the previous knowledge of the community about the environmental management generated daily in their homes. The strategy employed focuses on environmental education talks, interactive presentations and the delivery of a brochure that comprehensively addresses environmental awareness in relation to household waste. A mixed methodology was used in the research, through the following phases: exploration, planning, observation and reflection. Finally, the following findings were obtained: it is observed that the community lacks information on the separation of DR: organic, recyclable and non-recyclable. In conclusion, the lack of environmental education in the municipality has resulted in a large amount of household waste that is neither separated nor properly used, which generates several negative consequences such as: environmental pollution, greater accumulation in landfills, greenhouse gases (GHG), among others. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
