- Scale to measure stressful characteristics in educational environments: a case of a mexican University(2021-10-29) Dominguez, Angeles; Beltrán Sánchez, Jesús Alfonso; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Escuela de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM)When students enter the university, they undertake a series of activities that can potentially stress them and cause their training experience to be not ideal for their learning. It is the responsibility of higher education institutions to provide an optimal environment to acquire knowledge and skills; therefore, they must have instruments that measure the degrees of stress generated. This study's objective was to determine a scale's psychometric properties that measure stressful characteristics in educational environments, namely Semestre i. A cross-sectional study with a survey design was carried out. Two hundred sixty-two university students participated, 122 of whom were men with a mean age of 22.6 (SD = 1.4), and 140 were women with a mean age of 22.1 (SD = 1.2). A scale comprised of saturation dimensions (11 items) and unpredictability dimensions (7 items) was obtained. An Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed with the Maximum Likelihood extraction method and oblimin rotation to determine the construct validity. It was possible to explain 52.3% of the variance (X2 = 2566.64, df = 153, p = .001; KMO = .92) in two dimensions, namely, high demand environment and unpredictable environment. Reliability was calculated through internal consistency using the Cronbach coefficient, obtaining an alpha value of .92. A parsimonious scale was obtained with the necessary evidence to conclude that valid and reliable data can be obtained, allowing the students' stressful educational contexts to
- Towards a Full Integration of Physics and Math Concepts: Words vs Meanings(2019-06-24) Hernández Armenta, Itzel; de la Garza, Jorge Eugenio; Dominguez, Angeles; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyMathematics and physics concepts have been closely interrelated since their formal beginnings in ancient times. Moreover, from a wide variety of perspectives, it is possible to identify that the understanding of physics progressed as more complex mathematical ideas became available. In pedagogical practice, there are many instances where the teaching of one of these disciplines might obstruct the understanding of the other; this problem, combined with the difficulty of teaching them inside or outside a classroom, produces a ripe opportunity for educative improvement. After a significant experience of teaching an integrated physics-math course for freshmen undergraduate students, a number of inconsistencies were identified and previously reported. One of those inconsistencies is a trap rooted in language, and it creates worrying cognitive conflicts that interfere with students’ learning. Specifically, the use by teachers of different names for the same concepts or ideas (perhaps because they look to relate specific concepts to everyday language) might be helping misconceptions to prevail. In this work, the authors focused on the analysis of terms like mass, force, and torque. To do this, they analyzed various research sources and texts to identify the roots of different names for similar concepts and their uses, and they considered the consequences of differing terminology and meaning to the construction of complex thinking. Raising awareness about the inconsistencies of terminology in mathematics and physics and the resulting consequences is the primary objective of this study. This work was motivated by an authentic concern to facilitate the learning and comprehension of these subjects by students. Accordingly, the authors issue a call for action for a transformation in the teaching and learning of physics and mathematics through reflection on better use of terminology in these fields, so that the terms are negotiated between the disciplines, which results in precise descriptions of what is being taught, free of inconsistencies, confusion, and conflict.
- Estudiantes universitarios y su percepción sobre la interdisciplinariedad(2018-12-10) Hernández Armenta, Itzel; Dominguez, Angeles; Tecnologico de MonterreyLa integración de conocimientos de diversas disciplinas es necesaria para el entendimiento holístico de las realidades y problemas de hoy en día, por ello el estudio de la interdisciplinariedad en contextos educativos es de gran relevancia. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de la implementación de un cuestionario de 13 reactivos (alfa de Cronbach = 704) para conocer la percepción que tienen estudiantes universitarios sobre la interdisciplinariedad en su vida académica. Esta evaluación de percepción se clasifica en tres niveles: conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes para la interdisciplinariedad. Se concluye que los estudiantes reportan percepciones favorables ante la presencia y desarrollo del pensamiento interdisciplinario y se encuentran diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las percepciones de límites y marcos de referencia disciplinarios por género y por semestre en el cual se encuentran los estudiantes encuestados, además de validar el uso del instrumento de medición para futuras investigaciones.
