- eComplexity: validation of a complex thinking instrument from a structural equation model(Frontiers, 2024-05-24) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Henao Rodriguez, Linda Carolina; Lis-Gutiérrez, Jenny Paola; Castillo Martínez, Isolda Margarita; Suarez Brito, Paloma; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The eComplexity instrument aims to measure the perception of achievement in the complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. To ensure the reliability of this instrument, validation processes like the one presented in this article are necessary. Methodologically, this study evaluates data from 1,037 university students in Mexico, confirming the statistical validity and reliability of the instrument. As a result, the demonstrated reliability of the eComplexity instrument as a tool for measuring perceived achievements in complex thinking provides a valuable resource for assessing the effectiveness of educational interventions. Consequently, this research contributes to a more informed approach to fostering critical thinking skills, benefiting both theoretical exploration and practical application in educational settings. The study employs the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate students’ self-perceptions of their performance in complex thinking and its sub-competencies, thus advancing the field of educational measurement. Academically, it enriches the discourse on the design and validation of instruments, offering a rigorous model for future efforts in measuring cognitive competencies. Practically, the study’s results inform educational practice by identifying systemic and scientific thinking as key to developing complex thinking skills. This knowledge enables educators to more effectively adapt teaching strategies and curricular designs, aiming to enhance students’ ability to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
- Complex thinking through a Transition Design-guided Ideathon: testing an AI platform on the topic of sharing economy(2023-05-30) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Castillo Martínez, Isolda Margarita; González Pérez, Laura Icela; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This proof-of-concept study of an AI-based platform aimed to integrate a sequence of activities into the design of an online platform to assess the development of complex thinking competency in higher education students.
- Gender gap in the perception of mastery of reasoning-for-complexity competency: an approach in Latin America(Emerald, 2023-03-28) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Castillo Martínez, Isolda Margarita; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Amézquita Zamora, Juan Alberto; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; ; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación, Tecnológico de MonterreyThe study aims to assess students' perceived mastery of reasoning-for-complexity competency and its sub-competencies in a sample of students in a Latin American university. The intention was to identify statistically significant differences between a population of men and women with similar sociocultural characteristics, assessing whether gender could be a factor for educational institutions to consider when implementing strategies to develop this competency.
- Complex thinking in the framework of Education 4.0 and Open Innovation—A systematic literature review(MDPI, 2021-01-04) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Castillo Martínez, Isolda Margarita; Miranda Mendoza, Jhonattan; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyToday’s complex, dynamic, interconnected world presents the field of education (“Education 4.0”) with significant challenges in developing competencies for reasoning for complexity. This article analyzes complex thinking as a macro-competency with sub-competencies of critical, systemic, scientific, and innovative thinking in educational environments. We worked with the systematic literature review method, selecting 35 articles in the Scopus and Web of Science databases using keywords words of interest and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven research questions guided the data analysis. The results highlighted that: (a) there are common characteristics of studies linking complex thinking, critical thinking, and creative thinking; (b) there is predominance of the qualitative method in the studies; (c) the critical thinking competency has been the most addressed in the research; (d) the predominant components of Education 4.0 are teaching methods and techniques; and (e) the three challenges that stand out for educational research are project feasibility, research opportunities, and required skills. This article is intended to be of value to academic and social communities and decision-makers interested in developing reasoning for complexity within the framework of Education 4.0.
