- Developing the skills for complex thinking research: A case study using social robotics to produce scientific papers(Frontiers, 2024-06-10) López Caudana, Edgar Omar; George Reyes, Carlos Enrique; Avello Martínez, Raidell; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The development of university students’ skills to successfully produce scientific documents has been a recurring topic of study in academia. This paper analyzes the implementation of a training experience using a digital environment mediated by video content materials starring humanoid robots. The research aimed to scale complex thinking and its sub-competencies as a hinge to strengthen basic academic research skills. Students from Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico committed to preparing a scientific document as part of their professional training participated. A pretest to know their initial level of perception, a posttest to evaluate if there was a change, and a scientific document the students delivered at the end of the training experience comprised the methodology to demonstrate the improvement of their skills. The results indicated students’ perceived improvement in the sub-competencies of systemic, creative, scientific, and innovative thinking; however, their perceptions did not align with that of the tutor who reviewed the delivered scientific product. The conclusion was that although the training experience helped strengthen the students’ skills, variables that are determinants for a student to develop the knowledge necessary to prepare scientific documents and their derived products remain to be analyzed.
- Financial literacy as a key to entrepreneurship education: a multi-case study exploring diversity and inclusion(MDPI, 2023-11-10) Medina Vidal, Adriana; Buenestado Fernández, Mariana; Molina Espinosa, José Martín; Tecnológico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/046ffzj20; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Xiaoling, ShuThis article presents the results of the financial literacy assessment of young Mexican students between the ages of 17 and 24 enrolled in public and private institutions in five Mexican cities. This study’s objective was to approach the financial knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of young Mexicans through focus groups and questionnaires to identify their perceptions of complex thinking and its use for financial products and services. The most relevant findings suggest that (a) most of the young participants in the study use banking services through their parents, (b) there are significant gender differences in financial knowledge and behaviors, (c) critical thinking significantly and positively correlates with financial behaviors and attitudes, and (d) the level of critical thinking predicts financial behavior. There is a need to develop women’s critical thinking to discern between the financial behavior they socially imitate and their capabilities to become more involved in financial issues, thus decreasing the gender gap.
- Cultural imaginaries and complex thinking: impact of cultural education on the development of perceived achievement of complex thinking in undergraduates(MDPI, 2023-05-03) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; Guerrero Escamilla, Juan Bacilio; Morales Maure, Luisa; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/031f8kt38; https://ror.org/0070j0q91This article presents the results of measuring the perceived achievement of complex thinking competency in a group of university students enrolled in a subject about Mexican cultural education. Specifically, the work intended to identify whether there is a correlation between the level of complex thinking and its sub-competencies with the appropriation of cultural knowledge. The sample population of university students from different disciplines took the subject “Imaginarios Culturales de México (Cultural Imaginaries of Mexico)”. The descriptive methodology analyzed the means of the students’ responses on a validated instrument measuring their perceived achievement of complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The questionnaire instrument was implemented at the beginning and end of the course without making a specific intervention. In conclusion, the research identified a statistically significant correlation between both variables, demonstrating that cultural training correlates with students’ perceived achievement of complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. These results contribute to both the educational theory associated with the development of formative tools of competencies and skills, as well as the revaluation of cultural appropriation as a relevant formative element in lifelong learning.
- Engagement and social impact in tech-based citizen science initiatives for achieving the SDGs: A systematic literature review with a perspective on complex thinking(Sustainability Editorial Office, 2022-09-02) Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Alfaro Ponce, Berenice; González Peña, Omar Israel; Terashima Marín, Hugo; Ortiz Bayliss, José Carlos; Institute for the Future of Education, Tecnologico de Monterrey; School of Architecture, Art and Design, Tecnologico de MonterreyRecent years have witnessed significant achievements and technological advances in Citizen Science (CS) projects; nevertheless, significant global challenges are present. Proof of this is the joint efforts of international organisations to achieve the 2030 SDG agenda in a complex environment. Thus, UNESCO has recognised CS among the initiatives that could bridge the Science, Technology, and Innovation gap as a substantial resource given its power to bring the general public closer. Although tech-based CS projects keep rising, there is limited knowledge about which type of projects might allow participants to develop higher-complex thinking skills. To this end, this study describes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and analysis of 49 CS projects over the last 5 years concerning the technology utilised, the level of citizen involvement, and the intended social impact. The results of the analysis evidenced a) broad implementation in Europe on issues of the built environment, disaster risk, and environmental and animal monitoring; b) prevalence of helix configurations other than the Triple, Quadruple, and Quintuple Helix innovation models; c) a focus on technological developments to improve living conditions in the city; d) an opportunity to develop applied native technologies; e) limited development of participants’ complex thinking, constrained to low levels of involvement; and f) an opportunity to develop native technologies and promote a higher level of citizen participation, leading to more significant impact whilst developing complex thinking.
