This systematic literature review explored platforms and software supporting personalized learning processes in the digital age. The review methodology followed PRISMA guidelines, searching Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results identified three main categories: artificial intelligence, platforms/software, and learning systems. Key findings indicate artificial intelligence plays a pivotal role in adaptive, personalized environments by offering individualized content, assessments, and recommendations. Online platforms integrate into blended environments to facilitate personalized learning, retention, and engagement. Learning systems promote student-centered models, highlight hybrid environments’ potential, and apply game elements for motivation. Practical implications include leveraging hybrid models, emphasizing human connections, analyzing student data, and teacher training. Future research directions involve comparative studies, motivational principles, predictive analytics, adaptive technologies, teacher professional development, cost-benefit analyses, ethical frameworks, and diverse learner impacts. Overall, the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence, learning platforms, and learning systems offers a mosaic of opportunities for the evolution of personalized learning, emphasizing the importance of continuous exploration and refinement in this ever-evolving educational landscape.
- Development of the Perception of Achievement of Complex Thinking: A Disciplinary Approach in a Latin American Student Population(2022-04) Vázquez-Parra, José Carlos; Castillo-Martínez, Isolda Margarita; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Millán, AntonioThis paper aims to identify whether there are statistically significant differences in the level of perceived achievement of complex thinking competence in a population of Latin American students from different disciplines. The intention is to corroborate or question the academic literature that categorizes certain types of thinking (systemic, scientific, and critical) as characteristic elements of some disciplines. Methodologically, the validated eComplexity instrument was applied to a sample of 370 undergraduate students from a Mexican university. The results showed that the highest means for systems thinking can be found in the disciplines of Engineering, Business, and Humanities, while the highest means for critical thinking can be found among architecture students. However, statistically, the results showed no significant differences upon an overall comparison of all disciplines. In conclusion, the findings of this study prove to be valuable for educational institutions seeking to develop complex thinking in their students, demonstrating that the disciplinary area is not a limiting factor in developing a perception of achievement in a particular competence and its sub-competences.
- Responding to the Initial Challenge of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Analysis of International Responses and Impact in School and Higher Education(MDPI, 2022-02-07) Stracke, Christian M.; Burgos, Daniel; Santos-Hermosa, Gema; Bozkurt, Aras; Sharma, Ramesh Chander; Swiatek Cassafieres, Cécile; dos Santos, Andreia Inamorato; Mason, Jon; Ossiannilsson, Ebba; Shon, Jin Gon; Wan, Marian; Obiageli Agbu, Jane-Frances; Farrow, Robert; Karakaya, Özlem; Nerantzi, Chrissi; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Conole, Grainne; Cox, Glenda; Truong, Vi; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThis paper presents and analyses solutions where open education and open science were utilised to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education. The COVID-19 outbreak and associated lockdowns created huge challenges in school and higher education, demanding sudden responses which aimed to sustain pedagogical quality. Responses have varied from conservative to radically innovative. Universally, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted and shocked societies worldwide, and education systems were on the front line. The lockdowns largely stopped face-to-face and formal education in almost all countries, and in most cases, distance learning soon became the ‘new normal’. A central challenge concerned sustaining educational visions and ideals in such circumstances. To better understand the state of the art in the educational landscape, we collected case studies from 13 countries during the first year of the pandemic starting on 11 March 2020 (when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic). This paper presents summaries of the full country reports that were collected and describe lessons learned. Our overall aim was to identify good practices and recommendations from the collected case studies that can be taken forward in the future. We categorised the responses on the three generic educational levels (macro, meso and micro) and identified seven key aspects and trends that are valid for all or most countries: (1) formal education at a distance for first time; (2) similar approaches for formal education; (3) missing infrastructure and sharing open educational resources; (4) diverse teaching and learning methods and practices; (5) open education and access to open educational resources; (6) urgent need for professional development and training for teachers and (7) assessing and monitoring learning environments, teachers and students. Finally, we identified key recommendations on how open education and open science can benefit formal education in schools and universities in the future, namely, improved awareness of open educational practices, provision of ICT infrastructure, embracing and sustaining the practice of open access publications and OERs, capacity building for stakeholders and finally encouraging research and development in the area of open education and open science. We found significant evidence for the proposition that open education and open science can support both traditional face-to-face and distance learning.
- Design framework based on TEC21 educational model and Education 4.0 implemented in a Capstone Project: A case study of an electric vehicle suspension system(2021-05-21) López, Hugo A; Ponce, Pedro; Molina, Arturo; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Lopez-Caudana, EdgarNowadays, engineering students have to improve specific competencies to tackle the challenges of 21st-century-industry, referred to as Industry 4.0. Hence, this article describes the integration and implementation of Education 4.0 strategies with the new educational model of our university to respond to the needs of Industry 4.0 and society. The TEC21 Educational Model implemented at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico aims to develop disciplinary and transversal competencies for creative and strategic problem-solving of present and future challenges. Education 4.0, as opposed to traditional education, seeks to provide solutions to these challenges through innovative pedagogies supported by emerging technologies. This article presents a case study of a Capstone project developed with undergraduate engineering students. The proposed structure integrates the TEC21 model and Education 4.0 through new strategies and laboratories, all linked to industry. The results of a multidisciplinary project focused on an electric vehicle racing team are presented, composed of Education 4.0 elements and competencies development in leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The project was a collaboration between academia and the productive sector. The results verified the students’ success in acquiring the necessary competencies and skills to become technological leaders in today’s modern industry. One of the main contributions shown is a suitable education framework for bringing together the characteristics established by Education 4.0 and achieved by our educational experience based on Education 4.0
- Correlation analysis between expectancy-value and achievement goals in MOOCs on energy sustainability: Profiles with higher engagement(2020-06-16) Romero-Rodríguez, Luis Miguel; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Valenzuela González, Jaime RicardoPurpose – This research seeks to analyze the interrelationship that exists between expectancy-value and achievement goals as factors that are decisive for participants’ higher engagement in 12 MOOCs on energy sustainability and to determine the profile of participants achieving higher success rates. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative–quantitative study of correlational and descriptive scope is carried out on two instruments based on pre- and post-tests of 6,029 participants, which is followed by a Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) distributed by code families to identify participants’ main motivations to take MOOCs.
- Determining Factors in MOOCs Completion Rates: Application Test in Energy Sustainability Courses(2020) Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Romero-Rodríguez, Luis Miguel; Aguaded, Ignacio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1274-706X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1274-706X; Rey Juan Carlos UniversityMassive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) are open educational activities that allow for distance learning and professional updating, although the academic community has questioned their effectiveness due to their low completion rates. This research analyzes which factors (personal, family, social, labor, and instructional design) are involved in the value expectations and engagement of the MOOCs and to what degree these affect the decision to enroll and the completion of the MOOC. To this end, in the context of 12 MOOCs on energy sustainability carried out between 2017 and 2018, 8737 participants were surveyed using two instruments designed according to theoretical constructs and expert judgment. The main results show that all the factors reviewed influence the decision to take a MOOC, although the “professional development” aspect has the most significant impact on participants who have graduated from technical and engineering careers. Additionally, this study emphasizes that the “instructional design” factor is decisive in the engagement of younger participants, showing that the conventional design of xMOOCs (Stanford Model) may be one of the most important reasons for the low completion rates of this type of course.
- Factors influencing the Integration of the Digital Literacy and Inclusion Program into Primary School Teaching(Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2019-10-14) Beltrán-Sánchez, Jesús Alfonso; García López, Ramona Imelda; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Tánori Quintana, Jesús; Tecnologico de Monterrey; Vidaurri, GabrielaThe present investigation aims to identify the factors related to the integration of the Inclusion and Digital Literacy Program (IDLP or PIAD in Spanish) in the activities carried out by elementary school teachers in Mexican public institutes. To that end, a quantitative methodology with an explanatory scope was used, along with a sample size of 203 teachers from a county south of the state of Sonora, Mexico. Four remaining factors from the theoretical review (educative, personal, pragmatic and contextual) were measured and the results obtained show that the variables associated to the personal factor of the professor are those that are able to explain and impact to a greater degree the integration of the program. It concludes the presence of a manifested necessity in regards to the reformulation and development of capacitation programs and awareness over the impact of technology and the benefits that it brings with the purpose of accomplishing the learning process.
- Entrepreneurship competencies in energy sustainability MOOCs(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019-08-09) Beltrán Hernández de Galindo, Martha de Jesús; Romero-Rodríguez, Luis M.; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyPurpose – Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have been gaining popularity as non-formal lifelong learning educational platforms. However, they have been criticized for their low completion rate and low ability for networking. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how incorporating entrepreneurial competencies in MOOCs develops attributes of educational innovation and collaborative projects. Design/methodology/approach – The research followed a three-stage process: in first stage, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify dimensions of entrepreneurial skills and attributes of educational innovation in MOOCs. In the second stage, a quantitative study was carried out, based on the analysis of pre- and post-test surveys taken by a sample of 6,517 participants. In the last stage, the interaction analysis model/computer-mediated communication analysis model was applied through qualitative analysis, using the MAXQDA tool to identify if entrepreneurship opportunities were generated in the interactions within the discussion forums of the MOOCs. Findings – The results show that the analyzed MOOCs have an overall completion rate of 12.55 per cent, above the average of the rates found in the literature review. However, only 14.29 per cent of the participants expressed at least one opportunity to generate ventures related to the topics of energy in the discussion forums. Practical implications – This research could help instructional designers and universities to consider the inclusion of entrepreneurship issues in the design of MOOCs’ content and to encourage more activities that promote networking among participants, to identify business potential from the educational materials. Originality/value – This research is one of the very few studies on entrepreneurship competencies in MOOCs to understand how the inclusion of issues related to entrepreneurship in MOOCs can generate a positive impact on participants.
- Motivation and Knowledge: Pre and Post Assessment of MOOC participants from an Energy and Sustainability Project(2018) Valdivia Vázquez, Juan Antonio; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Valenzuela-González, Jaime Ricardo; Tecnológico de MonterreyUnderstanding factors promoting or preventing participants’ completion of a massive open online course (MOOC) is an important research topic, as attrition rates remain high for this environment. Motivation and digital skills have been identified as aspects promoting student engagement in a MOOC, and they are considered necessary for success. However, evaluation of these factor has often relied on tools for which the psychometric properties have not been explored; this suggests that researchers may be working with potentially inaccurate information for judging participants’ profiles. Through a set of analyses (t-test, exploratory factor analysis, correlation), this study explores the relationship between information collected by administering valid an reliable pre and post instruments to measure traits of MOOC attendees. The findings from this study support previously reported outcomes concerning the strong relationships among motivation, previous knowledge and perceived satisfaction factors for MOOC completers. Moreover, this study gives evidence of the feasibility of developing valid assessments for evaluation purposes.
- Research management systems: systematic mapping of literature (2007-2017)(INSIGHT - Indonesian Society for Knowledge and Human Development, 2018) Velásquez-Durán, Anabel; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Tecnologico de MonterreyResearch management in relation to Research and Development (R&D) has found a comprehensive and powerful tool in the Current Research Information System (CRIS). Publications on the subject are still emerging, so knowing what research has been done and its contributions presents an opportunity to build theoretical and reference frameworks, and to identify gaps and potential opportunities for future developments in information technology. Various articles covering these systems were analyzed with the objective of identifying the research areas, countries and institutions in which they were published, as well as their research approaches, contributions and topics covered. A systematic mapping of literature was carried out, which included 33 articles published on Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, from 2007 to 2017. To ensure valid results, the evaluation guide for researchers was used during for the design and review phases of the systematic mapping studies, as well as the corresponding evaluation rubric; in addition, a strategy to define direct decision rules on how to classify an article based on the results of evaluations of multiple researchers was adopted. The findings show that the main research areas are Information Science & Library Science and Computer Science; the largest concentration of publications is found in Europe; research focuses on Evaluation Research; contributions are oriented to create processes and models, and to describe the applications and uses of CRIS. It is concluded that there are areas of opportunity for the development of research in this area, such as the expansion of the research areas in which it is used, the possibilities of collaboration, sharing and exchange at a global level, and the coverage towards integration issues with open acces
