- (Re-) shaping learning experiences in supply chain management and logistics education under disruptive uncertain situations(2024-02-21) Salinas Navarro, David Ernesto; Pacheco Velázquez, Ernesto Armando; da Silva Ovando, Agatha Clarice; https://ror.org/05j0ve876; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/03758j340Introduction: Disruptive uncertain events often necessitate universities to abruptly shift from face-to-face to remote online learning, posing challenges to instructional quality and learning outcomes. Remote online instruction may lack social interaction, educational resources, and practical activities, hindering effective learning. Methods: This study presents an experiential learning framework designed to foster active learning experiences amidst disruptive uncertain events. The framework incorporates such events as study situations to enhance student motivation and engagement. A methodology for designing learning experiences is proposed, with a focus on incorporating real-world disruptions into educational settings. Results: A case study is presented, detailing the implementation of the framework in supply chain management and logistics education at a private university in Bolivia, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that the novel learning experience positively impacted student motivation and engagement, facilitating the achievement of learning outcomes. Discussion: The initial implementation suggests that the novel learning experience positively impacted student motivation and engagement while achieving their intended learning outcomes. However, further instances of utilizing the proposed framework are necessary to ascertain its generalizability and effectiveness across diverse contexts and situations. Identifying similarities or invariances will help validate the applicability of this approach in different educational settings affected by disruptive uncertain events.
- Evaluating differences in mathematical competencies in middle school students during pandemic onditions through Preparatec Platform(MDPI, 2022-08-12) Ocampo Díaz, Alejandra; Maldonado García, Blanca; Portuguez Castro, May; Tecnologico de MonterreyThis research proposes to evaluate the difference in essential mathematical competencies of middle school students transitioning to high school level under pandemic conditions (COVID-19) using the PreparaTec platform and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) released items as an evaluation instrument. The study was conducted with 84 students from first semester high school at Prepa Tec (Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Cuernavaca) aged 14 and 15. The students were divided into three experimental groups and a control group. Three levels of mathematical competencies: reproduction, definitions, and calculations (level 1), connections and integration to solve problems (level 2), and reflection (level 3) were evaluated. We applied a pre-test at the beginning of the semester and a post-test at the end after using the PreparaTec platform. Both tests were written and applied in a face-to-face format. The study presents the findings regarding the impact of using the PreparaTec platform during the first semester in the three levels of mathematical competencies mentioned. The results obtained are presented in two analyses. The first analysis involves the results obtained per experimental group and according to the number of correct answers per group. The second analysis represents a comparison between the percentage of correct answers and the level of difficulty per question per student regarding the percentage, determined by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Spain in the format presented by PISA. The pre-test and post-test consisted of 23 questions from items released from PISA, which contemplated measuring the three levels of mathematical competence. The results showed an improvement of 57% in level 1 proficiency questions, 63.6% in level 2 proficiency, and 100% in level 3 proficiency. The findings indicate that new teaching strategies based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and more meaningful assessment forms further develop students’ mathematical competencies.
- Monitoring the emotional response to the COVID-19 pandemic using sentiment analysis: a case study in Mexico(Hindawi, 2022-05-18) León Sandoval, Edgar; Zareei, Mahdi; Barbosa Santillán, Liliana Ibeth; Falcón Morales, Luis Eduardo; Pareja Lora, Antonio; Ochoa Ruiz, Gilberto; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Hošovský, AlexanderThe world is facing the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an unprecedented change in the lifestyle routines of millions. Beyond the general physical health, financial, and social repercussions of the pandemic, the adopted mitigation measures also present significant challenges in the population’s mental health and health programs. It is complex for public organizations to measure the population’s mental health in order to incorporate it into their own decision-making process. Traditional survey methods are time-consuming, expensive, and fail to provide the continuous information needed to respond to the rapidly evolving effects of governmental policies on the population’s mental health. A significant portion of the population has turned to social media to express the details of their daily life, rendering this public data a rich field for understanding emotional and mental well-being. This study aims to track and measure the sentiment changes of the Mexican population in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, we analyzed 760,064,879 public domain tweets collected from a public access repository to examine the collective shifts in the general mood about the pandemic evolution, news cycles, and governmental policies using open sentiment analysis tools. Sentiment analysis polarity scores, which oscillate around -0.15, show a weekly seasonality according to Twitter’s usage and a consistently negative outlook from the population. It also remarks on the increased controversy after the governmental decision to terminate the lockdown and the celebrated holidays, which encouraged the people to incur social gatherings. These findings expose the adverse emotional effects of the ongoing pandemic while showing an increase in social media usage rates of 2.38 times, which users employ as a coping mechanism to mitigate the feelings of isolation related to long-term social distancing. The findings have important implications in the mental health infrastructure for ongoing mitigation efforts and feedback on the perception of policies and other measures. The overall trend of the sentiment polarity is 0.0001110643.
- Interior environment design method for positive mental health in lockdown times:color, textures, objects, furniture and equipment(MDPI, 2022-04-01) Martín López, Lucía; Fernández Díaz, Ana Belén; Tecnologico de Monterrey; Universidad Anáhuac México; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/057g08s23In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a COVID-19 pandemic accompanied by a series of mass lockdowns. Some of the consequences of these lockdowns were (1) psychological problems, (2) development of simultaneous activities in spaces not prepared for it, and (3) indoor spaces that generate negative emotions in people. To improve people’s mental health during times of lockdown, this research proposes a methodology to design positive interior environments through color, texture, objects, furniture, and equipment. For this, 147 qualitative surveys were carried out, the structure of which is based on research methods and tools inherited from marketing discipline (Likert Scale and Customer Satisfaction Score). Several operative graphs were created to make decisions on the design of interior environments. To avoid some of the problems caused by indoor environments during lockdowns it is recommended that users return to paying attention to the design of the interior spaces of their homes. Note that there is no standard solution to this problem, but a method to design interior environments based on people’s positive mental health such as the one presented here can help. The trends found in this work open a field of exploration towards the improvement of interior spaces through neutral colors, natural materials (cotton and wood) and objects with which emotional relationships are created, either with the objects (collections) or because they allow you to connect with other people (technology). It is considered necessary to continue with the research by expanding the sample to incorporate into the analysis the most vulnerable sectors of population during COVID-19 lockdowns.
- Lab-Tec@ Home: A cost-effective kit for online control engineering education(MDPI, 2022-03-15) Sotelo, David; Sotelo, Carlos; Ramirez Mendoza, Ricardo Ambrocio; López Guajardo, Enrique Alfonso; Navarro Durán, David; Niño Juárez, Elvira del Rosario; Vargas Martínez, Adriana; https://ror.org/03ayjn504It is widely recognized that a hands-on laboratory experience is useful in control engineering education. Herein, the students overcome the main gaps between theoretical knowledge and experimental setups. Nowadays, in times of crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual and remote laboratories are emerging as primary educational resources. However, in virtual labs, the students are not exposed to real life issues (i.e., equipment problems, noise, etc.) while in remote labs, communication and connectivity problems arise (i.e., network security, synchronization management, internet speed, etc.). Henceforth, this work presents an unpublished educational project named Lab-Tec@Home, and the aim of this research is to expand the access of hands-on control education at the undergraduate level. Here, students easily assemble a cost-effective laboratory kit at home and use it on their own computing devices connected with the external MATLAB/SimulinkTM application. Thus, students can test and validate theoretical concepts of control engineering such as: system model identification, and PID control design and test. The assessment results show that the proposed educational project enhances the learning experience and has outstanding positive feedback of more than 290 students who undertook massive flexible digital courses at Tecnologico de Monterrey. This makes the proposed educational project mainly suitable for control engineering courses.
- Rock the Boat! Shaken by the COVID-19 Crisis: A Review on Teachers' Competencies in ICT(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2022-01-18) Montiel, Hugo; Gomez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Lopez Caudana, EdgarThe COVID-19 pandemic suddenly brought great challenges to the continuation of education. Institutions had to elect between pre-maturely ending their current school cycles or shifting to an online, flexible environment that had to deal with the digital divide in internet access. As part of its Sustainable Development Agenda, UNESCO developed the “Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers” in 2018 to help institutions achieve digital literacy and reduce the digital divide. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, identifying 23 studies on the use of ICT tools during COVID-19 educational disruptions in the database ProQuest Central and Google Scholar from August 2019 to August 2020. The results of this SLR showed that frameworks such as that of UNESCO could guide institutions to fast-track the development of educational strategies for post-crisis, COVID-19 implementation. Also, findings suggest an increase in the use of ICTs in learning environments, which will encourage organizations like UNESCO to develop plans and projects, such as the ICT framework further. Coping with the challenges of today’s learning environments is urgent; it is already time to “Rock the boat!” Introduction.
- Co-Housing response to social isolation of COVID-19 Outbreak, with a focus on gender implications(MPDI, 2021-06-27) Giorgi, Emanuele; Martín López, Lucía; Garnica-Monroy, Ruben; Krstikj, Aleksandra; Cobreros Rodríguez, Carlos; Montoya, Miguel Ángel; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Escuela de Arquitectura, Arte y Diseño; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Lopez-Mesa, Belinda; Cano-Suñén, EnriqueCOVID-19 forced billions of people to restructure their daily lives and social habits. Several research projects have focused on social impacts, approaching the phenomenon on the basis of different issues and scales. This work studies the changes in social relations within the well-defined urban-territorial elements of co-housing communities. The peculiarity of this research lies in the essence of these communities, which base their existence on the spirit of sharing spaces and activities. As social distancing represented the only effective way to control the outbreak, the research studied how the rules of social distancing impacted these communities. For this reason, a questionnaire was sent to 60 communities asking them to highlight the changes that the emergency imposed on the members in their daily life and in the organization of common activities and spaces. A total of 147 responses were received and some relevant design considerations emerged: (1) the importance of feeling part of a “safe” community, with members who were known and deemed reliable, when facing a health emergency; and (2) the importance of open spaces to carry out shared activities. Overall, living in co-housing communities was evaluated as an “extremely positive circumstance” despite the fact that the emergency worsened socialization.
- Innovación educativa ante el Covid-19: una perspectiva comparada en el contexto mexicano(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-05-03) González Nieto, Noé Abraham; Fernández Cárdenas, Juan Manuel; GONZALEZ NIETO, NOE ABRAHAM; 563326; FERNANDEZ CARDENAS, JUAN MANUEL; 37924; Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyLa contingencia sanitaria por Covid-19 ha modificado la manera de conceptualizar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en el siglo XXI. Así, en este artículo se presenta una sistematización de experiencias educativas de dos entornos universitarios durante la pandemia: la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Ciudad de México, México) y el Tecnológico de Monterrey (Monterrey, México). Partiendo de una conceptualización de la innovación como práctica de adaptación social (González-Nieto, Fernández-Cárdenas y Reynaga-Peña, 2019) y de las comunidades de aprendizaje en entornos virtuales (Garrison, Anderson y Archer, 2000), se abordan las prácticas educativas innovadoras de dos profesores desde una perspectiva metodológica comparada (Manzon, 2018). Esta investigación retoma los principios de la investigación-acción-participativa (Ander-Egg, 2003) como referente para llevar a cabo un proceso de sistematización del entorno universitario (Jara, 2018), con el propósito de informar las prácticas docentes exitosas que puedan incorporarse en otros contextos y periodos académicos. Para realizar el análisis se tomaron en cuenta factores como el origen de financiamiento de la universidad (público/privado), su nivel educativo (licenciatura/posgrado), las plataformas tecnológicas, las temáticas abordadas, las formas de evaluación, las estrategias didácticas y la política educativa de cada institución educativa. Los resultados indican que la comparación en educación es un elemento clave para fomentar el trabajo colegiado y la innovación educativa, que la formación de comunidades de aprendizaje incide positivamente en la formación de identidades digitales y su correspondiente éxito académico, y que el uso y diseño interactivo de las plataformas tecnológicas incide en las buenas prácticas de la docencia remota. Este estudio, por tanto, responde a la urgente necesidad de replantear el paradigma educativo, por lo cual se convierte en un punto de partida para sistematizar nuevas experiencias pedagógicas y sus correspondientes potencialidades en contextos de emergencia, tal como lo es el de la contingencia sanitaria por Covid-19.
- Contagio emocional en las redes sociales: el caso de COVID-19 en Facebook(2021-04-11) Pasquel López, Cynthia; Valerio Ureña, Gabriel; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Araújo, LeonardoLa estrategia de confinamiento, ante la contingencia por el COVID-19, aumentó el uso de la tecnología para continuar las actividades diarias. Sin embargo, el consumo de información proveniente de las redes socialespodría incidir en las emociones de las personas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar el contagioemocional en Facebook ante una contingencia. Con un enfoque esencialmente cualitativo, se analizaron 701 publicaciones relacionados con el tema de COVID-19 y los 1872 comentarios generados a partir de dichas publicaciones. Se encontró que: A) con el fin de informar y entretener, las personas prefieren comunicarse a través de imágenes en días hábiles; B) el contagio emocional se da en Facebook, pero no en la misma proporción en todos los participantes. Esto resalta la importancia de ser conscientes de que la información que compartimos puede impactar en las emociones de otros.
