AI technologies offer unique capabilities that enhance collaboration and creativity among students by providing novel insights, generating diverse perspectives, and triggering the development of innovative thinking as a sub-competency of the mega-competency of complex thinking. Regarding entrepreneurial skills development, applying AI-powered tools, such as natural language processing on digital educational platforms, allows student to engage in dynamic ideation processes for entrepreneurial projects with social, technological, and scientific approaches. This article explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) as a valuable resource for fostering creative idea generation within co-creation strategies for university students. In a mixed-method analysis, we obtained valuable information regarding engagement through co-creation approaches. This paper describes the early implementation stages of the introductory course in technological entrepreneurship, applying the educational platform OpenEdR4C in a hybrid workshop with a group of 20 students in a public higher education institution in central Mexico, this being the first group of >900 people reached during 2024. The findings show that (a) the students are prone to use and explore AI tools in a natural and immediate manner, (b) interdisciplinary collaboration was effectively promoted through co-creation strategies, and (c) training the tool is crucial to keep engagement and ideas fluency. This is a contribution to the exploration to open new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, experiential learning, and knowledge co-production, ultimately empowering students to develop innovative solutions to complex societal challenges.

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.
Adaptive learning for complex thinking: A systematic review of users' profiling strategies
(JSSER, 2024-06-17) Álvarez Icaza Longoria, Inés; Molina Espinosa, José Martín; Suarez Brito, Paloma; https://ror.org/03ayjn504
Adaptive learning strategies applied to e-learning have become a relevant approach towards diversity and inclusion. They bring several benefits to learners in the role of digital platform users, related to the user experience, but primarily in the learning process optimization. It aims to provide mediation, tailored content, and adequate channels for users' capabilities and learning styles. The OpenEdR4C is a digital open educational platform designed to expand complex reasoning skills in students and lifelong learners of higher education. The platform addresses five types of learning obstacles: sensory limitations, learning styles, sociodemographic and socioeconomic contexts, and certain kinds of neurodiversity. All these considerations require a dynamic and assertive user profiling strategy to provide compelling adaptive learning experiences. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review of user profiling strategies published in the last five years in SCOPUS and Web of Science databases. The findings allowed for the identification of successful and applicable strategies that the OpenEdR4C research and development teams used to select and shape the suitable strategy for the platform in three levels: a) procedures that allow the user to self-declare their profile and preferences; b) profiling based on the system's detection of patterns and behaviors shown by the users; and c) evaluation techniques to validate the effectiveness of the profiling instruments. The results and discussion presented are valuable insights for educators, developers in the context of open educational resources design, and decision-makers of HiEd institutions or training centers. There is a suitable strategy for every type of profiling necessity; here is a combination of many to be used and developed collectively.
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/03ayjn504
This 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/03ayjn504
This 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.

(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/03ayjn504
This 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.
Effectiveness of challenge-based learning in undergraduate engineering programs from competencies and gender perspectives
(MDPI, 2024-02-29) Huesca Juárez, Gilberto; Rodríguez Rosales, Adriana; Lara Prieto, Vianney; Ruiz Cantisani, Maria Ileana; Acevedo Mascarúa, Joaquín; School of Engineering and Sciences, Tecnologico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Gamage, Kelum
Active learning strategies are widely studied, but perspective on their effectiveness in complete undergraduate studies or about their contribution to closing the gender gap are still required. Challenge-based learning has been around for more than a decade. However, results have been collected in limited time and application environments, for example, one semester or one activity in a course. In this work, we present a quantitative study that was applied to results of the National Center for the Evaluation of Higher Education’s Engineering Bachelor’s Degree Standardized General Examination of 4226 students comparing those who received a traditional educational model and those who received a challenge-based learning educational model. A statistical analysis of communication and disciplinary competencies found that the traditional educational model induces a greater marginal significant result in the test. Additionally, we found that female students perform better in communication competencies while male students perform better in disciplinary competencies. Our results confirm that challenge-based learning is as effective as a traditional educational model when applied during complete undergraduate studies while developing competencies like critical thinking, long-term retention, leadership, multidisciplinary teamwork, and decision-making. Challenge based learning is a prolific learning strategy for evolving into a new way of teaching in undergraduate programs.
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/03ayjn504
Vital 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.
