- Back to basics:e-Learning pedagogical model for identifying entrepreneurship skills in undergraduate students(Common Ground Research Networks, 2021-12-14) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Tecnologico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This research proposes an e-learning model that facilitates identifying entrepreneurship skills in professional-level university students. Studies show gaps in what needs to be taught and teaching methodologies for entrepreneurship competencies. These deficiencies hinder students from proposing problem solutions of value to real-world challenges. This study followed a design-based research methodology to implement an e-learning course that contributes to entrepreneurship education using active pedagogy and technological innovation. The results showed that participants could identify their entrepreneurial skills, propose solutions to social problems, and grow in cognitive dominion. This research supports the practice of e-learning by offering a design-based model that can be used in other contexts. Considering the current pandemic-contingency situation in which e-learning takes center stage, this model provides necessary methodologies to support educational institutions in training their students, especially in entrepreneurship. This technology-supported solution has quality social, pedagogical, and curricular elements and an instructional design that facilitates entrepreneurship training. Also, it supports initiatives that need to be transmitted remotely in today’s reality so that education can continue during times of confinement.
- Identifying Entrepreneurial Interest and Skills among University Students(MDPI, 2021-06-22) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; GOMEZ ZERMEÑO, MARCELA GEORGINA; 203310; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Madichie, Nnamdi O.This study presents the profile of the participants in an online course on entrepreneurship that followed a challenge-based learning methodology and was applied to undergraduate students at a university in Mexico. Students were given challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during the course and were allowed to recognize their interest in solving these problems. This paper seeks to identify the entrepreneurial profile of university students through their experiences, interests, attitudes, and entrepreneurial skills. Although entrepreneurship courses are offered more frequently in universities, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the students’ interest and their abilities to continue strengthening them. The data were collected through a questionnaire conducted with 20 multidisciplinary participants. The analysis compared the results of those who finished the course vs. those who did not to determine the significant differences in their answers. The results showed that the participants generated sustainable business ideas that favor local and global problems. Additionally, the students showed great interest in social entrepreneurship and developing companies based on the knowledge acquired during their university studies. It is recommended to continue with the training so that these ideas can become real ventures through linkages with other actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and favor the solution of sustainable problems. The questionnaire instrument enabled identifying the students’ characteristics, interests, and entrepreneurial skills, which could be strengthened with other programs that train them. It was also possible to recognize skills that they did not possess before starting the e-learning course which require further strengthening.
- Educational challenges for computational thinking in K–12 education: A systematic literature review of “Scratch” as an innovative programming tool(MDPI journals, 2021-05-21) Montiel, Hugo; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThe use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) has emerged as an educational response amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, providing students the technological tools that enable them to acquire or strengthen the necessary digital skills to develop computational knowledge. The purpose of this study was to analyze Scratch, a programming language used to foster the teaching of computational thinking, particularly in K–12 education. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, identifying 30 articles on the topic of Scratch and computational thinking in the database ProQuest Central from January 2010 to May 2020. These articles were analyzed to identify the use of Scratch worldwide and the educational impact it has on computational thinking, specifically in K–12 education. The results highlight the following: (1) countries which incorporated Scratch into their teachers’ study plans (curricula); (2) the transformation of learning environments that Scratch promotes; and (3) the importance of incorporating tools like Scratch in the current curricula and, more importantly, developing the framework for innovative ICTs capable of transforming education.
- Dificultades en la escritura académica de estudiantes de maestría(2021-05-01) Rey Castillo, Marisol; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Tecnológico de MonterreyLa alfabetización académica es el proceso que permite el desarrollo de competencias necesarias para la comprensión y producción de textos en el ámbito de la educación superior. Esta se construye a lo largo de la formación profesional y continúa incluso en el postgrado, por lo que siempre existirán áreas de oportunidad y mejora de acuerdo con las necesidades de comunicación académica y científica. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar dificultades en la escritura académica de estudiantes de dos programas de maestría en línea de una universidad en el noreste de México. A través del análisis cualitativo de doce muestras escritas del estudiantado y entrevistas a cinco docentes, se pudo identificar que aspectos como la documentación, la articulación de la propia voz con las fuentes, la citación y algunos elementos de redacción son susceptibles de ser mejorados.
- Mentoría en curso de emprendimiento en línea: sistematización de una experiencia en educación superior(Centro de Información Tecnológica La Serena- Chile, 2020-12) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Tecnológico de Monterrey; Valderrama, JoseEl objetivo del trabajo consistió en analizar los elementos que intervinieron en la mentoría de un curso en línea de emprendimiento con 20 estudiantes universitarios de carreras profesionales de una universidad del norte de México. En este estudio se siguió una metodología de sistematización de la experiencia educativa para profundizar en los pasos seguidos por los participantes en el proceso de mentoría y en la forma de realizar propuestas de solución. El análisis de los resultados mostró que, de cinco equipos participantes, los tres equipos que trabajaron en sesiones de mentoría realizaron una solución más estructurada que los otros dos grupos que tuvieron poca interacción con el mentor. La sistematización de esta experiencia permitió establecer elementos que pueden ser utilizados en otros entornos, así como determinar obstáculos que impiden alcanzar los objetivos educativos, como son la falta de planificación del mentor y de tiempo de los estudiantes. Se concluye que las actividades descritas en esta investigación y los pasos sugeridos en el estudio pueden replicarse tomando en cuenta acciones para mitigar los problemas presentados. También se reconoce la importancia de utilizar nuevas herramientas de comunicación que favorezcan la participación de los estudiantes y motiven su interacción con los mentores.
- Analysis of Teachers’ Opinions about Student Participation in Entrepreneurial Activities in an Institution of Higher Education(IJAHSSS, 2020-06-19) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyEntrepreneurial education is increasingly relevant, and the number of study centers that are incorporating these programs is on the rise. The role of universities is central to the development of citizens who collaborate with companies to design innovative products or services. However, the formation of the entrepreneurial mindset in students is difficult to achieve, so it is necessary to create programs that are strengthened by transversal instruction in different careers. This article aims to analyze the opinions of professors in a Mexican university about the participation of under-graduate students in entrepreneurial activities within their programs. This research used a quantitative methodology to determine whether students were encouraged to develop entrepreneurial skills and if they could identify those skills. In total, 60 teachers from different campuses and majors of six schools in the University answered a questionnaire. The results showed that most teachers believed that the students in their programs could interact with entrepreneurs, participate in activities related to entrepreneurship as required, and learn entrepreneurial skills in their majors. However, most of the teachers indicated that the students also needed to learn more about entrepreneurship and recognized little or nothing about their entrepreneurial skills, and that no instrument existed to identify and measure those skills. When analyzing the teachers’ responses from three schools of the university, we observed that the teachers felt that the subject of entrepreneurship was less addressed in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences than in the Schools of Engineering and Sciences or Architecture and Design. Therefore, we recommend strengthening career programs with activities that identify and develop entrepreneurial skills. The results from this research can guide the teachers and authorities of the institution in determining opportunity areas and activities that promote the entrepreneurial mindset that the institution has set as a goal in its 2030 educative model.

This article describes the results of the implementation of an online course on entrepreneurship that utilized CBL with a group of 20 undergraduate students from various disciplines in a university in Mexico. During the course, challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations were presented to the participants, making it possible to observe the students’ interest in resolving these problems. This research uses a case study methodology and seeks to determine the CBL elements in the e-learning modality. The results showed that the participants generated sustainable business ideas aimed to resolve local, national, and global problems. The recommendations are to continue the formation of the businesses proposed in the project. These ideas can become real ventures that connect various actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and will continue to strengthen transversal skills such as teamwork and communication.
- Training needs for successful businesswomen: a narrative analysis of stories of women entrepreneurs(2020) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Tecnológico de MonterreyThis research is a qualitative study that develops a narrative analysis of the entrepreneurial experiences of two women business owners in the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This study sought to understand the training needs of female entrepreneurs from the experiences of these women who started their own companies. This issue of entrepreneurship arouses much curiosity and interest in the characteristics of the people who undertake it and how they develop their plans. It is essential to analyse the experiences of entrepreneurs to incorporate the lessons learned into training programs that fulfil the needs and learning styles of people starting and operating their own companies. The women consulted recommended as the key topics in a training program the incorporation of the family into the training processes, the methodologies for scaling up businesses, tools that facilitate the management of revenue, expenses, and earnings, activities that increase self-efficacy, how to search for funding resources and investment capital, and networking.
