(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/03ayjn504
This 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.

(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.
Complex thinking in interdisciplinarity:an exploratory study in latin american population
(2023) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; García Peñalvo, Francisco José; Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; https://ror.org/03ayjn504
In the context of Latin America, there are few studies that analyze complex thinking linked to disciplinary analysis. In this sense, locating the characteristics promoted by the different disciplines presents an opportunity to scale higher order competencies such as those of complex thinking. This article aims to show the results of a study that seeks to show the perception of complex thinking competence in young university students in the Latin American context. A multivariate descriptive statistical analysis has been carried out. Among the main findings we identified that there is a higher degree of perception of male students in Latin America on complex thinking competence and that this pattern is found in most of the countries in the sample.
