- The impact of national culture in the development of complexity reasoning skills: An international comparison(2023-10-10) Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Martínez Pérez, Sandra; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; https://ror.org/03hsf0573; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/03yxnpp24There is a clear inequality in gender distribution for the STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Furthermore, there is a noticeable lack of diversity and a socio-economic gap that requires actionable solutions. To explore potential factors that affect the participation of women in STEM, this paper reviews two possible groups of determinants: national culture and complexity thinking. A survey with 684 respondents from higher education institutions in Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Spain was undertaken. The instrument measured four components of complexity thinking namely critical, scientific, innovative, and systemic). Using analysis of variance between two groups and between multiple groups, differences were observed between the countries’ samples and between genders. Once the significance was confirmed, boxplots for each dimension were elaborated to facilitate the visualization of the distributions. The scores were compared with the national culture values to seek possible behavioral patterns in the data. The results reveal two groups between the observed countries. Also, there are clear indications of a relationship between the national culture dimensions and the complex thinking components.
- Editorial: Open education for sustainable development: Contributions from emerging technologies and educational innovation(Frontiers, 2023-02-16) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Hernández Montoya, Diana; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; González González, Carina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThe difficulties in carrying out formal educational processes are not a novelty; historically, some examples, such as the cuneiform pictograms dating back to 3000 B.C., speak of the problems that the Sumerian people had in educating, disseminating the knowledge to reach future generations, and finding ways to translate the representations into productive processes. It has been 5000 years since those Mesopotamian schools tried to establish a systematization of knowledge through educational institutions. From this perspective, we must understand that educational institutions must constantly be moving, pending social dynamics, adapting, and in many cases, anticipating the transformations that human beings undergo in their daily lives. We must understand excellence as Galeano commented, “Utopia is on the horizon. I walk two steps, it moves two steps away, and the horizon moves ten more steps away. So, what is a utopia for? That’s what it’s for, to walk.
- Digital accreditations in MOOC-based training on sustainability: Factors that influence terminal efficiency(AJET, 2022-02-21) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Martínez Pérez, Sandra; Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Lopez Caudana, Edgar; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyDigital certificates in massive open online course (MOOC) learning experiences provide alternative credentials linked to lifelong learning. The Bi-National Laboratory on Smart Sustainable Energy Management and Technology Training provided the context for this research. This project was undertaken by Mexican and United States universities, businesses and governmental organisations, having granted 17,776 certifications in sustainability and 10,705 labour competence certificates. The research focused on analysing the factors that promote digital credentials, from the point of view of participant and platform characteristics, in the framework of MOOCs in energy sustainability, through the MexicoX and edX platforms. Using the ex post facto method, two validated instruments were applied to analyse motivation and self-regulation processes. A total of 4,002 useful responses were gathered from participants in 35 MOOC courses. The results account for six determinant factors for digital accreditation: perceived usefulness, self-efficacy, knowledge domain and expertise, group work disposition, achievement drive, and performance strategic thinking. We highlight implications for research on educational innovation and for educational practice in MOOCs. These data may be of interest to academics, researchers and decision-makers interested in training through distance environments
- Factores para el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional en estudiantes de pregrado(ua Journals, 2021-07-31) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Romero Rodríguez, José María; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyEl pensamiento computacional, asociado con disciplinas de ingeniería e informática, puede promoverse en otras áreas, ya que excede el fomentar las habilidades propias de la computación y abarca procesos de pensamientos crítico, lateral y creativo. Se partió de la pregunta ¿Cuáles son las diferencias en las dimensiones del pensamiento computacional entre áreas disciplinares de estudiantes de pregrado? Se trabajó con un diseño de estudio transversal y de muestreo por conveniencia, con una escala de 29 ítems para evaluar el pensamiento computacional en 95 estudiantes de pregrado, que estudian diversas disciplinas en dos universidades mexicanas. Los resultados ubicaron que si había diferencias con los estudiantes de ingeniería que tienen mayor pensamiento crítico, algorítmico, solución de problemas. En cooperación y creatividad no se ubicaron diferencias significativas entre estudiantes de psicología, informática administrativa e ingeniería. Este artículo pretende ser de valor para la comunidad académica interesada en escenarios que promuevan resolución de problemas.
- Using Robotics to Enhance Active Learning in Mathematics: A Multi-Scenario Study(2020-12-04) Lopez Caudana, Edgar; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Martínez Pérez, Sandra; Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThe use of technology, which is linked to active learning strategies, can contribute to better outcomes in Mathematics education. We analyse the conditions that are necessary for achieving an e ective learning of Mathematics, aided by a robotic platform. Within this framework, the question raised was “What are the conditions that promote e ective active math learning with robotic support?” Interventions at di erent educational scenarios were carried in order to explore three educational levels: elementary, secondary, and high school. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed, comparing the control and treatment groups for all scenarios through examinations, direct observations, and testimonials. The findings point to three key conditions: level, motivation, and teacher training. The obtained results show a very favourable impact on the attention and motivation of the students, and they allow for establishing the conditions that need to be met for an efective relationship between the teacher and the technological tool, so that better learning outcomes in Mathematics are more likely to be obtained.
