- Complex thinking and Its relevance in professional training:an approach to engineering students in a mexican university(2023-04-27) Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Del Angel Gonzalez, Marco Vinicio; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación, Tecnológico de MonterreyThis article aims to present the results of an analysis of the level of perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency among a group of engineering students in their last semester at a university in Western Mexico. The intention is to identify whether this population has the necessary skills to meet challenges and solve problems related to the demands of their future professional environments. Specifically, we not only seek to know the level of perception of achievement of complex thinking but also to understand its behavior and the possible existence of differences between the male and female populations. Methodologically, exploratory and multivariate descriptive statistical analyses were carried out. The results showed that the participants felt a high level of perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency, which was more noticeable in the male population.
- Student perception of the level of development of complex thinking: an approach Involving University Women in Mexico(Routledge, 2023-03) Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Amezquita Zamora, Juan; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación, Tecnológico de MonterreyGoing beyond teaching knowledge to develop students’ competencies challenges contemporary universities because acquiring knowledge is insufficient without the capacity to implement it in real environments. Complex thinking is among the most valued competencies. It allows people to reason to solve problems, integrating their scientific, systemic, critical, and innovative skills. However, theoretically, there is a gender gap in the acquisition and development of complex thinking, suggesting inequity within the training processes. This article examines how acquiring and developing complex thinking are configured in a group of Mexican university students. Employing a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis, we intended our study to identify a possible gender gap and particular characteristics in the sample of female students to understand the formation of complex thinking considering the gender variable. Our conclusion found that, although the data suggests no statistically significant gap between the genders, it is still present in the unequal development of procedural knowledge in women, affecting their perception of their ability to implement what they know when solving problems. Practically, this text shows an area of opportunity for institutions that train complex thinking and establish educational policies to promote women’s leadership.
- Competency-based learning: an approach integrating the domains of complex thinking competency in a group of mexican students(Cherkas Global University Press, 2023) Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Medina Vidal, Adriana; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Molchanova, Violetta S.One characteristic of competency-based education is the integration of knowledge, attitudes, and skills that enable individuals to make better decisions and face the challenges of their professional demands. Given this, universities must develop training models that contribute to this integration; otherwise, they cannot ensure that their students are perceived as genuinely competent. Therefore, this article aims to report in depth how the acquisition and development of the competency of complex thinking were configured in a group of students at a Mexican university with a competency-based educational model to corroborate the integral development of necessary cognition, attitudes, and skills considering the gender variable. Based on a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis, this study sought to identify particular characteristics of the sample to understand the acquisition process and student perception of their competency and subcompetencies considering the development of their various components, knowledge, and domains. In conclusion, although the results show that a moderately balanced perception of development has been achieved, there are still areas of opportunity in some aspects, as in the case of the procedural component, especially among female students. In general, the population does not perceive that the knowledge and attitudes they have developed allow them to develop useful processes or skills in professional practice, which may affect their confidence to lead projects or even enter the labor market once they graduate.
