- 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
