Lexical knowledge of language learners is a priority when thinking of teaching a second language successfully, and lexical availability tasks appear to be an effective tool for teachers to obtain evidence of vocabulary acquisition. This study seeks to determine the incidence of the variable gender on the L2 available lexicon of primary students. The research was conducted with a sample of 99 students, 52 males and 47 females from fifth grade of a subsidized school in San Pedro de la Paz, Chile. A quantitative methodology was used with a non-experimental design, where data was gathered through a lexical availability test with five centers of interest from a non-probability sample. Findings indicate that gender is a variable that does not affect the available lexicon of primary students. This research will serve as a base for future studies on different variables that can affect primary students’ lexical availability, in order to improve language teaching practices.

Project development is one of the essential skills that is intended to be strengthened when training architects in the academic field. However, methods and processes to develop projects are either not established or vary in structure and sequence, responding to various themes and variables in the faculties of architecture. Due to this, in this article, different studies are reviewed with an orientation to design development methods for architecture teaching to find relevant data, find common aspects and define the most critical variables that guide these investigations. A literature review method is used by which investigations closely related to the subject are chosen by applying exclusion criteria. The information obtained is processed through descriptive statistical analysis, organizing and tabulating the data. Subsequently, the most relevant findings are reflected, analyzed, and described. The main results of this article show that the methods used in the investigations studied are primarily qualitative and focus on methodological, analytical, reflective, and pedagogical aspects. Additionally, the essential variables that influence and lead these investigations are: impact on the context and society, activities and tools, coherence in the process, and project specificity, which represent a guide for future analysis studies or project methodology proposals for architectural education practices.

This research analyzes the implementation of an inclusive multilevel model in bilingual education to teach English as a second language in elementary school. An Inclusive Educational Plan by its acronym in Spanish (PIE) was designed and validated based on the Ainscow and Booth Inclusion Index (2015), the Multi Level Support System (MTSS) and the application of Universal Learning Design (DUA) principles. It studied the interrelationship of the inclusive multilevel model in the English reading class and the academic performance of students with and without some type of educational need. This study is structured as a quantitative, descriptive and comparative design between an experimental group and a control group. A total of 132 first grade students of elementary school from the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana and 20 students with Specific Educational Support Needs (NEAE) participated. Data collection was carried out through specific academic reading tests in English and a satisfaction survey of the students of the experimental group. Among the most valuable findings, it stands out that all the students in the experimental group, with and without special needs, showed significant increase in the academic performance, and reading skills. The study validated the implementation of the inclusive multilevel model. In the survey, the students also showed high satisfaction with the type of methodology implemented to strengthen their learning of English as their second language.

The aim of this research is to show the importance of exploring and applying new ways or channels of dissemination in accordance with current needs and demands, in order to reach a young audience in terms of dissemination and scientific knowledge. For this reason, this study aims to demonstrate not only the effectiveness, but also the value that young university students give to social networks as one of the main channels for consulting information. To this end, a survey was carried out among 188 students from fourteen university degrees to find out and assess the reasons for their lack of interest in reading and consulting scientific journals and publications. In this sense, one of the problems facing Spanish science popularisation is the lack of existing and applicable means of dissemination, especially if one wishes to reach a young audience. In this way, it underlines the idea that social networks can be a potential channel for the dissemination and wider reach of scientific knowledge in any area. For all these reasons, the present study would lead to a new approach which would allow to address the strategies to be developed by academic journals in those social networks where more young university students are concentrated.

One of the objectives for economic growth in Nuevo Leon State in Mexico is the development of Industry 4.0 which demands for programming competencies and for the annual rate of degrees in Engineering to increase. Contrastingly, the pass rates in introductory programming course have been lower when comparing them with the rest of engineering subjects at a private university located in the Northeast of Mexico, being this condition a reason for analyzing about the situation based on the Theory of Engagement. The objective of this study was to investigate engagement of the first year engineer student in introductory programming and its relation with academic performance. A correlational study was made on a sample of 123 participants; Blackboard analytics were examined and selected and a correlational analysis was made between Blackboard analytics and academic performance using the final grades by calculating Spearman´s rho coefficient. A moderated relation positive and significative was found between student activity in Blackboard platform and academic performance (rho₍₁₁₆₎ =.448, p<.001 with statistical power .970) as well as between time invested in Blackboard platform and academic performance (rho₍₁₁₆₎ =.447, p<.01 with statistical power .995). Because of the relation found, it seems important to frequently monitor the student activity in the platform in order to foster engagement from the early stages of the academic period in introductory programming.

This article presents the results of an investigation about the profile of teaching competencies, within the framework of a study on its articulation with the learning of primary school students in the Dominican Republic. The objective was to characterize the current state of professional teaching skills for the work of teachers with the primary education curriculum that allows its articulation with the learning outcomes of students at this level. A mixed methodological approach was used that integrated the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from the opinions of teachers and experts, through the analysis of data from the documentary review technique, the questionnaire and the method of analysis by expert criteria. The research identifies training needs that emerged in an emergent way due to the appearance of COVID-19 and that urgently need to be incorporated into teacher training processes, to promote the application of the components of the curricular design at the primary level. The limited technological competence makes it difficult for teachers to educate new generations and take advantage of the potential of a growing digital life environment.

The school confinement by COVID19 confirmed the need for the use of mobile devices that facilitate and allow a normal flow of the PPEA in education. It also served to verify that not all schoolchildren could, for various reasons, access them, which is why the educational administration had to intervene to provide schoolchildren and provide families with tools such as tablets, laptops and access points Wi-Fi.Despite this and given the delay in acting, many teachers and families have chosen to include Smartphones as usable devices in order to normalize the situation, thus facilitating the exercise of their functions, something that clashes with the provisions and guidelines legislative and centers that reject such devices as school tools. A study aimed at the teaching community has served to show the previous rejection and a commitment to the future of said technology, after a timely implementation and enhancement. And it is that the teacher is aware that the situation experienced can be repeated at any time and without prior notice, for which he needs to be not only alert but also trained and willing to use them.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have a fundamental challenge since they must develop soft skills in an integral way so that professionals in Business Administration and Marketing and Advertising can achieve professional success. The transformations in organizations demand training where the need for employees to possess skills such as critical and analytical thinking, teamwork, empathy, tolerance, time management, and the ability to transform new learning into information that serves as a basis for decision-making and provides solutions to the various situations that may arise along the way. The objective of this study has been to identify and analyze the soft skills in greatest demand that the labor market requires in both careers. The research was carried out quantitatively with statistical techniques and tools. The research design was cross-sectional since the study variables were not manipulated. The results of this research indicate that there is currently no significant difference between the level of soft skills required by companies and the level demonstrated by graduates. It is expected that, te findings obtained from this research, iill contribute positively to raising awareness among the authorities to change and evolve the role of education from the traditional way to a new role where the formation of competencies is considered in the new study plans. in an active and dynamic way, and allow graduates to perform their work effectively and successfully in organizations.

This research focused on the significance of emotional education in preschoolers with ADHD in an educational center in Manta-Manabí-Ecuador. The aim of this study was to contribute to the improvement of emotional intelligence in a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as a way of promoting comprehensive development and proposing strategies to work on emotional self-control in preschoolers. A quasi-experimental case study was conducted using a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and applicative approach. The study involved a 4-year-old boy with ADHD who attends the educational center and displays hyperactivity traits. The child does not participate in activities voluntarily and takes what he wants with some aggression. Information was collected through a semi-structured interview, a behavior questionnaire based on the Conners scale of emotional intelligence, and the analysis of experiences during personalized attention sessions with the student. The results showed significant improvement in emotional intelligence indicators in the child. This study contributes to the enhancement of emotional education in preschoolers with ADHD and highlights the importance of working on emotional self-control and comprehensive development. The findings of this research could be useful for other educational centers and professionals who work with children with ADHD and other emotional difficulties.

The objective of the study is was to determine the improvement in the level of Natural Sciences (NS) skills in high school students from Naguata, El Escobal and El Cruce educational institutions, through the incorporation of open digital educational resources (ODER), adapted as a strategy of use pedagogy of Information Communication Technologies (ICT), in non-contact teaching-learning processes. The methodology developed had a mixed approach, with a greater incidence of the qualitative methodology, but complemented with the quantitative one; The sample was made up of 231 high school students who participated in the characterization, application and evaluation of the strategy through different research instruments whose results were statistically analyzed through the SPSS 21 software. The results included the characterization of the study population; on the order hand it was found that there is a strong linear correlation relationship between the level of competences and the pedagogical use of ICT with ODER, in the educational institutions of study, it is was established that the improvement in the competences of NS is associated with on both the educational purpose and the methodological aspects that characterize the teacher when making pedagogical use of the ODER. One of the contributions offered by this research was to organize a repository with the ODER selected and adapted to the context for the area of NS, as a proposal to improve scientific skills in secondary school students from rural institutions. Bearing in mind that the strategy intends to be developed in non-presential situations, regardless of what causes this situation, the present study gives relevance to the pedagogical guide

The  purpose of the  research  which has been carried out was mainly identifying symbols associated with the assessment of permanence in school by the student body that has reached the final cycles of  high schools. The proposal, in  itself, is a structural interrogative method based on hermeneutics which reveals symbolic, imaginary, and mythical structures that underline the speech of students in the State of Querétaro in Mexico. The address of a student group composed of 77 students was analyzed and shared  through 11 discussion groups. To achieve   this goal, a range which served as a series of filters of their own instruments was developed in order, to recognize moments, actors and key ideas that affected their abilities of sustaining themselves in the school trajectory. The peculiarity of the discourse is that it functioned as a collective research subject but not merely for each person who expressed it at the time. Thus, we proceeded to sift the diversity of speech containers  using bars and analytical tables. Here our goal only is  present the archetypes that result from the symbolic image that the student body elaborates around the forms of teaching that is  meant to strengthen their way through the educational institution. The results corroborate an interesting complexity in the resulting teaching archetypes, which, being merely theoretical entities, extracted through hermeneutic mythification, make up a theoretical-conceptual scheme which serves as a reference for educational action in favor of the elaboration of conditions that enable the youth to reach the right of school permanence  on the specific entity  which is studied.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the use of a Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) evaluation instrument, specifically the DELES (Distance Education Learning Environments Survey) for the European Inclusive Education Project called &quot;LOVEDISTANCE&quot; (Learning Optimization and Academic Inclusion Via Equitable Distance Teaching and Learning). The initial assumption is that the instrument may be useful, but it is outdated and not necessarily focused on the objectives of the LOVEDISTANCE project, in particular that of Inclusive Education. The academic exercise was carried out at Levinsky University, in Tel Aviv, Israel, and the analysis of the information was done with a quantitative- qualitative approach, where in a first part the measure of consensus among experts was used to measure the statistical reliability of the experts&#39; answers, and then an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine if there were significant differences between the groups&#39; means; subsequently, a detailed qualitative analysis of the observations was carried out based on three axes of analysis: considerations of the research exercise, profile of the researchers, and analysis of each scale of the instrument. Some of the most relevant conclusions were that the instrument is, for the most part, useful for the purposes of the LOVEDISTANCE project, but it needs improvement with regard to the following scales: relevance of learning to the learner, instructor support, and measurement of learner autonomy.

The objective of the research was to analyze the ICT competencies, in the modality of virtual education in rural contexts of the students from Secondary School Teacher Training in Pedagogy and Social Science of the Faculty of Education Science of Universidad Panamericana. With a quantitative approach and an exploratory/descriptive design, collecting data through a questionnaire applied to 120 students of the Faculty, of which 75% are women and 25% men. The results of the analysis show that most students perceive themselves as having an intermediate level of ICT skills, abilities, and knowledge. The findings show that the means of communication used in virtual learning environments are WhatsApp and email, students recognize the support for the development of ICT, abilities and knowledge provided by Universidad Panamericana. The form of Internet connectivity by students is through Wifi at home and mobile data on their own devices. Based on the results, it can be inferred that the use of ICT supports educational environments that involve activities in virtual mode, such as receiving online classes through educational platforms, as well as the management of receiving and sending homework electronically and virtually. It is important that, at the time of applying ICT in the classroom, the planning, content, activities, and evaluation phases are developed to meet the stated educational objectives in the teaching and learning processes with an inclusive approach in virtual environments for students.
