- Scientific thinking engineering and health sciences.Competency analysis in a mexican university(JSSER, 2024-06-25) Suárez Brito, Paloma; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Alonso Galicia, Patricia Esther; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; Malagón Castro, Luz Elena; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article presents the findings of a comprehensive skills-and-competencies analysis conducted among incoming Engineering and Health Sciences freshmen at a leading technological university in Mexico. The primary objective was to determine whether these students possessed an ideal competency profile that would effectively prepare them to meet the evolving demands of their future professional training. The study focuses on evaluating complex thinking macro-competency, recognizing its critical importance in equipping individuals to tackle the multifaceted challenges and intricacies they will encounter in their academic and professional journeys. More precisely, this research focuses on the assessment of scientific thinking as a meta-competency of complex thinking macro-competency and considered a cornerstone competency essential for success in the fields of Engineering and Health Sciences. The statistically significant findings demonstrated marked disparities in the perception and development of complex thinking macro-competency and, specifically, in the meta-competency of scientific thinking among incoming students in the Engineering and Health Sciences domains, as opposed to their counterparts in Humanities and Social Science. This observation gains particular importance in the context of the requisite competency sets for career paths in Engineering and Health Sciences, accentuating the students' proficiency and preparedness to excel in their selected fields. These results emphasize the criticality of conducting competency assessments at early stages and advocate for the modification of educational methodologies to foster the specialized competencies vital for prospective success in these disciplines. The results are analyzed in terms of their suitability for aligning educational goals with the evolving demands of the Engineering and Health Sciences fields. Overall, this study centers on the fundamental aspects of education, highlighting its importance not only due to its relevance but also for its capacity to drive meaningful changes in the future landscape of higher education.
- Complex thinking and learning styles. An approach from a mexican student population(Scholar, 2024-05-31) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; Sánchez Arrieta, Natalia De Fátima; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article aims to present the results of a study to demonstrate the relationship between the development of complex thinking competencies and the types of learning in a sample population of Mexican students. Methodologically, quantitative descriptive analyses were performed on the means of the results, using two validated instruments to measure the perception of achievement of complex thinking and learning styles. As a result, we identified that it is possible to demonstrate a relationship in the profile proposed by Kolb for the groups of students in three of the four types of learning, showing a correlation with their results of complex thinking and its sub-competencies. Thus, the novelty of this article is based on the possibility of linking training in competencies with other psychoemotional elements and factors usually implicit in university training processes.
- Self-Esteem and its relationship with perceived achievement of complex thinking competence. An approach from a population of mexican students.(Scholar, 2024-05-29) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article focuses on investigating and substantiating the potential relationship between students’ perceptions of their complex thinking abilities and their self-esteem at a technological university in Western Mexico. Employing a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis, the study not only aims to demonstrate the linkage between these two perceptions but also explores the potential influence of the gender variable on this relationship. The findings indicate a statistically significant correlation between the perception of competency in complex thinking, particularly in the sub-competence of critical thinking, and the students’ self-esteem. Despite the small sample size, which could be considered a constraint of the study, the results are presented as significant for decision-making in the educational sphere, professional training, and emotional well-being of youth, highlighting their importance and applicability.
- Validation of the machista behavior and perception of positive masculinities attitudes scale for complex environments in a mexican student population(Scholar, 2024-05-24) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Salaiza Lizarraga, Flor De La Cruz; Arredondo Trapero, Florina Guadalupe; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article delineates the outcomes of the design and validation procedure of the Macho Behavior and Perception of Positive Masculinities Attitudes Scale within Complex Environments, incorporating its theoretical, expert, and statistical validations. Methodologically, it elucidates the findings from a pilot study executed among a student demographic at a Mexican university. The article posits that this tool facilitates the precise identification of its proposed variables, establishing itself as a credible measure for assessing the prevalence of macho behaviors and the perception of attitudes linked to positive masculinity. Furthermore, this tool serves as an augmentation of existing scales that, while quantifying macho behaviors, overlook the significance of also evaluating attitudes toward the cultivation of positive masculinity.
- Non-formal learning as a vital response to extreme and external situations. A study using ethnographic methodology and the life history of individuals experiencing the armed conflict in Colombia(Scholar, 2024-02-14) Malagón Castro, Luz Elena; Valencia González, Gloria Clemencia; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Vital learning, the lessons of life, provides evidence that subjects are not isolated but resonate with one another, that is, they can interact in inhibiting contexts, generate learning strategies, and express their will to live and coexist with others. The present research unveils some nonformal learning processes that triggered devices of re-existence different from the traditional education of hegemonic, Western vision. The methodology employed an ethnographic approach and qualitative research on the formative experiences of three individuals experiencing the armed conflict in Colombia. The study utilized participants’ life stories as a means to delve into the personal nuances of their essential learning experiences under extreme conditions. Employing a phenomenological approach, it aimed to uncover the societal significance of these experiences by interpreting the symbolic and narrative use of language. This methodology facilitated a deeper understanding of how individuals make sense of their experiences and the subjective learning that occurs within such intense contexts. The conclusion was that it is possible to identify that education outside formal structures generates knowledge in an epistemic space. The research identified the forces that mobilized the subjects to make changes in their worlds of extreme and external conditions. This article presents an analysis using personal narratives affected by pervasive violence, introducing a unique perspective on education that is deeply rooted in the context of one's environment. It posits that despite the numerous challenges faced, the intrinsic human eagerness to learn remains undiminished. This perspective encourages a reimagining of educational approaches that are sensitive to and integrated with the local context, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
