Raul Gonzalo Torricella Morales — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:38:10 +0100

Las Universidades cubanas disponen de repositorios institucionales para el auto-archivo de sus documentos académicos y de bibliotecas digitales, para la publicación de sus libros. Sin embargo, ni los repositorios, ni las bibliotecas digitales contribuyen, de forma significativa, a la Socialización del Conocimiento Académico en el ámbito internacional: la cantidad de descargas y consultas internacionales están por debajo de lo esperado a partir de la calidad de estos contenidos. Para solucionar esta situación, EDUNIV+SOCICT edita y publica documentos cubanos en en la Biblioteca Virtual Académica en Español eLibro. Se evaluó el USO (consultas + copias + descargas + usuarios) de una selección de libros cubanos disponibles eLibro. Los principales resultados alcanzados son: durante los años 2022-2023, los 779 títulos cubanos evaluados, alcanzaron 6.663.425 de USOS, mientras que en el período de enero 2024 a octubre 2020, recibieron 2.655.691 USOS. Si comparamos estos valores con los USOS de los 150 mil títulos disponibles en eLibro, 897.551.615 y 296.474.965 respectivamente, se puede afirmar que EDUNIV-SOCICT, con la edición y publicación en eLibro, contribuye a Socializar el Conocimiento académico cubano . En el presente trabajo se evaluaron los USOS de los documentos cubanos publicados en eLibro mediante, el indicador Altmétrico, Índice Wally. Se presentan tablas con la información de los títulos, autores y editoriales con los valores del índice Wally >= 0,80 (Primer cuartil Q1). Se recomienda utilizar esta información para estimular a los profesores e investigadores cubanos a publicar sus manuscritos docentes con las editoriales universitarias.

Marvin Coto — Fri, 21 May 2021 21:11:03 +0200

Los estilos de aprendizaje han sido estudiados ampliamente en diversas partes del mundo para reconocer las diferencias que se presentan entre estudiantes para adquirir el conocimiento. Estos estilos pueden medirse con instrumentos establecidos, y sus resultados permiten caracterizar poblaciones de estudiantes, y dirigir las estrategias de enseñanza afines a estos estilos. En el presente artículo se muestra la influencia que ha tenido la presencia de diferentes estilos de aprendizaje en una población de estudiantes de educación superior, en la carrera de Ingeniería Eléctrica de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Los estilos han sido medidos utilizando el test de Felder-Silverman, en grupos del curso Matemática Superior durante tres ciclos semestrales, y muestran correlación en el rendimiento de estudiantes y diversas preferencias en los estilos.

School failure in students of high school education of public schools of Peru, 2005-2010, and their associated factors

Educa - UMCH — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 19:39:02 +0200

The present investigation seeks to determine the scholastic failure in secondary education in Peru between the years 2005-2010 and to identify the factors associated with this failure. This investigation is Non-experimental, multifactorial explanatory with a retrospective cross-sectional ex post facto design. It proposes a theoretical explanatory model of school failure from the ecological-systemic paradigm. The sample is 55% of high school students in Peru. To determine the influence of the intervening variables, statistical-mathematical instruments were used, performing a descriptive statistical analysis, a factorial analysis and a regression model β was applied. The conclusion reached is that, although school failure is the consequence of multiple factors, the most influential variables are the sociocultural and socio-economic environment in which the student lives. The results obtained have allowed an epidemiological study of school failure in Peru using a mathematical model of boxes, designed expressly for this research, in order to make predictions about school failure in Peru in the next five years.

Schools that have their own voice. Experiences of a self-evaluation process in 30 educational institutions

Educa - UMCH — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 19:17:02 +0200

The purpose of the research was to obtain a better understanding of the processes of school self-evaluation. To this end, an attempt was made to understand the experiences and perceptions of the main actors involved in an institutional self-evaluation process in which the possibility of a participative construction of the school model was offered, as well as the indicators and evaluation instruments of the same. This self-assessment process lasted two years and involved 30 schools of different educational levels and had the presence of a facilitator and an economic incentive from the regional government. The information was gathered from a survey and documentary review. The results of the study showed that people are open to collaborate and be part of self-evaluation processes. Furthermore, the figure of external support for the development of capacities is necessary. It was also discovered that the economic incentive is an element that can contribute to the initial adoption, however there is a risk of generating dependency on this extrinsic motivation

Social ascension of an undregraduate student with poor vision through studies: from basic education to university

Educa - UMCH — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 00:49:03 +0200

This article is born from a project linked to the research line Educational Practices, Culture, Diversity and Inclusion, carried out by the Pro-Rectory ofResearch and Postgraduate Studies (PROPEG) of the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN / BRAZIL). The aim of this study is to understand how the success of a UERN undergraduate student at the popular level and with poor vision has contributed to his social progress from Basic Education to Higher Education. It is a qualitative research, based on Oral History, from (auto)biographical narratives, which allow a formative and self-formative process in the writing of the self and of the other. The access and permanence of the student in his trajectory between Basic Education and the University is a result of the help of the family and the support of the Directorate of Policies and Inclusive Actions (DAIN) of UERN. The lessons learned by the help of the family and by the support of a Multiprofessional Team of the DAIN contribute to the formation of the student, empowering him in the struggle to overcome architectural, physical and attitudinal barriers experienced in social and academic contexts.
