- Complex thinking model with sustainable development goals: Analysis with scenario-based learning for future education(EnPress Publisher, 2024-07-29) Rodés Paragarino, Virginia; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Morales Maure, Luisa; Rosales Cisneros, Ricardo; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/0070j0q91; https://ror.org/05xwcq167In the present and future of education, fostering complex thinking, especially in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is critical to lifelong learning. This study aimed to analyze learning scenarios within the framework of a model that promotes complex thinking and integrated design analysis, to identify the contributions of linking design models to the SDGs. The research question was: How does the open educational model of complex thinking link to the SDGs and scenario design? The analysis examined a pedagogical approach that introduced 33 participants to the instructional design of real-life or simulated situations to develop complex thinking skills. The categories of analysis were the model components, the SDGs, and scenario designs. The findings considered (a) innovative design capacity linked to SDG challenges, (b) linking theory and practice to foster complex thinking, and (c) the critical supporting tools for scenario design. The study intends to be of value to academic, social, and business communities interested in mobilizing complex thinking to support lifelong learning.
- Navigating interconnected complexities: validation and reliability of an instrument for sustainable development of education 5.0(Taylor @ Francis Online, 2024) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Vicario Solórzano, Claudia Marina; González Pérez, Laura Icela; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/059sp8j34; https://ror.org/01fh86n78Sustainability actions in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) profoundly affect students, employees and their communities. These aim at social and economic benefits for local communities. Sustainability must be measured, and its goals must be achieved as part of the university’s mission to impact the community significantly. This work provides the validation results for an instrument that assesses academicians’ perceptions of HEI sustainability activities. The study began with a preliminary investigation of 121 Mexican public HEI students. The scale dimensions were constructed and validated in three steps: (a) establishing a theoretical framework to identify the necessary dimensions, (b) content validation through the judgment of five experts and (c) factor analysis and determination of instrument internal consistency to establish its reliability. The validation yielded three main findings: Aiken’s V coefficient (>0.89) showed high content-based validity indicators. Also, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.937. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) calculated correlation coefficients for the 18-item instrument. The four variables tested in the study (economic and social impact, human rights and gender perspective, environment and work experience and social impact) yielded satisfactory internal consistency. The research affirms a methodology to measure the progress of sustainability models for Education 5.0 using technologies and resources to maximize human well-being.
- Soft skills centrality in graduate studies offerings(Taylor & Francis, 2023-09-29) García Chitiva, Maria del Pilar; Correa Nuñez, Juan Carlos; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Marini, GiulioIs it possible to measure how critical soft skills like leadership or teamwork are from the viewpoint of graduate studies offerings? This paper provides a conceptual and methodological framework that introduces the concept of a bipartite network as a practical way to estimate the importance of soft skills as socio-emotional abilities trained in graduate studies. We examined 230 graduate programs offered by 49 higher education institutions in Colombia to estimate the empirical importance of soft skills from the viewpoint of graduate studies offerings. The results show that: (a) graduate programs in Colombia share 31 soft skills in their intended learning outcomes; (b) the centrality of these skills varies as a function of the graduate pro- gram, although this variation was not statistically significant; and (c) while most central soft skills tend to be those related to creativity (i.e. creation or generation of ideas or projects), leadership (to lead or teamwork), and analytical orientation (e.g. evaluating situations and solving problems), less central were those related to empathy (i.e. understanding others and acknowledgment of others), ethical thinking, and critical thinking, posing the question if too much emphasis on most visible skills might imply an unbalance in the opportunities to enhancing other soft skills such as ethical thinking.
- 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.
- Analysis of competency assessment of educational innovation in upper secondary school and higher education: a mapping review(MDPI, 2022-07-01) Krstikj, Aleksandra; Sosa Godina, Juan; García Bañuelos, Luciano; González Peña, Omar Israel; Quintero Milián, Héctor Nahún; Urbina Coronado, Pedro Daniel; Vanoye García, Ana Yael; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Despite the plethora of studies reported during the last decade in relation to educational innovation in teaching and assessment of competencies, a consensus is seemingly lacking on a definition that establishes the scope and boundaries competency assessment. This research gap motivated a systematic review of the literature published on the topics of “educational innovation in teaching” and “assessment of competencies” in upper secondary and higher education during the period from January 2016 to March 2021. The main objective of the study was to define and evaluate educational innovation in teaching and assessment of competencies in upper secondary and higher education following PRISMA guidelines for a systematic literature review (SLR) on a curated corpus of 320 articles. We intended to answer the following questions: (1) What do “educational innovation in teaching” and “assessment of competencies” represent for upper secondary and higher education? (2) How are they evaluated? Lastly, (3) are efforts exerted toward the standardization of transversal competencies? The SLR seeks answers to these questions by examining nine research sub-queries. The result indicated that the greatest effort toward educational innovation in competencies was made at the higher education level and targeted students. Competencies were revised through associations with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. In addition, the methodologies used for teaching and evaluation of competencies were reviewed. Finally, the study discussed which technologies were used to develop the proficiencies of students.
- Evaluation of emergency first response’s competency in undergraduate college students: Enhancing sustainable medical education in the community for work occupational safety(MDPI, 2021-07-23) Gonzalez Peña, Omar Israel; Dieck Assad, Graciano; Rodríguez Delgado, José Manuel; GONZALEZ PENA, OMAR ISRAEL; 162547; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyWorldwide, people’s quality of health has been decreasing due to bad eating habits that have generated an increase in diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, overweight, as well as an increase in hours of the daily workday and stress. This situation can generate sudden illness and work accidents where the need to have knowledge in emergency first response (EFR) is necessary for all. Unfortunately, workshops and courses to certify EFR individuals are usually taught only to healthcare professionals. Therefore, to address this need a EFR project has been developed at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (TEC) which consists of a multidisciplinary challenge to train, certify, and evaluate students’ competency as “emergency first responders” in medical emergencies and healthcare awareness. This EFR project has been performed for one week, every year since 2015, and constitutes a joint venture among academic departments, faculty, and industrial/government institutions, which work together in multidisciplinary projects, providing a source of innovative proposals. The EFR project at TEC has provided instruction and certification for 966 students between 2015 to 2019 and this study has analyzed results considering a sample size of 197 participants. The combination of exam evaluation, medical emergency skills verification, and project proposal results indicate that most students reach skill levels between 2 and 3 in EFR competency after successfully completing the program, regardless of their year of study or the undergraduate program they are enrolled on. This evaluation emphasizes the compromise of the institution and its students in preparation for new living under sanitary conditions for pandemic conditions such as COVID-19.
- Effects of a Thermal Inversion Experiment on STEM Students Learning and Application of Damped Harmonic Motion(MDPI, 2021-01-18) Gonzalez Peña, Omar Israel; Morán Soto, Gustavo; Rodríguez Masegosa, Rodolfo; Rodríguez Lara, Blas Manuel; GONZALEZ PENA, OMAR ISRAEL; 162547; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThere are diverse teaching methodologies to promote both collaborative and individual work in undergraduate physics courses. However, few educational studies seek to understand how students learn and apply new knowledge through open-ended activities that require mathematical modeling and experimentation focused on environmental problems. Here, we propose a novel home experiment to simulate the dynamics of a flue gas under temperature inversion and model it as damped harmonic motion. After designing and conducting the experiment, twenty six first year students enrolled in STEM majors answered six qualitative questions to inform us about their epistemological beliefs regarding their learning process. Their answers imply that this type of open-ended experiments may facilitate students’ understanding of physical phenomena and point to the significance of physics instructors as promoters of epistemological development. In general, students described this activity as a positive experience that helped them connect an environmental phenomenon with a fundamental physics concept.
- Challenge Based Learning: Innovative Pedagogy for Sustainability through e-Learning in Higher Education(MDPI, 2020-05-15) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7531-6956; Tecnológico de Monterrey; Vázquez-Cano, Esteban; López Meneses, EloyChallenge-Based Learning (CBL) is an innovative teaching methodology that engages students to resolve real-world challenges while applying the knowledge they acquired during their professional training. This article describes the results of the implementation of an online course on entrepreneurship that utilized CBL with a group of 20 undergraduate students from various disciplines in a university in Mexico. During the course, challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations were presented to the participants, making it possible to observe the students’ interest in resolving these problems. This research uses a case study methodology and seeks to determine the CBL elements in the e-learning modality. The results showed that the participants generated sustainable business ideas aimed to resolve local, national, and global problems. The recommendations are to continue the formation of the businesses proposed in the project. These ideas can become real ventures that connect various actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and will continue to strengthen transversal skills such as teamwork and communication.
