- Social entrepreneurship and complex thinking competencies with an open technology platform: a gender approach(2024-11-01) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Echaniz Barrondo, Arantza; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/00ne6sr39In addition to specialized disciplinary training, cross-disciplinary skills are relevant to lifelong learning. One such skill is complex thinking, which involves integrating different reasoning to solve problems. To ensure that all students can achieve the same professional learning goals, in this paper, we present the results of an analysis of students’ perceived achievement of complex thinking competency through self-managed activities on an open education technology platform that diagnoses, develops, and evaluates social entrepreneurship competency. The research objective was to identify statistically significant gender differences in the two competencies (complex thinking and social entrepreneurship) in a group of students attending a technological university in Mexico. Methodologically, a multivariate descriptive analysis calculated arithmetic means and standard deviations, supplemented by boxplot and violin plot analyses and a scatter plot with lines of central tendency. In addition, a t-test analysis with a p-value of 90% was performed to identify the statistical significance of differences in the mean values by gender. The findings confirmed a statistically significant gender gap in the development and level attained in the students’ perceived achievement of both competencies (social entrepreneurship = 0.007 p-value; complex thinking = 0.068 p-value). Women showed the best results after using this technological platform. This study highlights the need to design technological tools for developing disciplinary and cross-disciplinary competencies from a gender perspective, to promote educational innovations that equitably ensure lifelong learning.
- Next-Gen information architecture: open STEAM platforms(2024-08) González Pérez, Laura Icela; Enciso Gonzalez, Juan Antonio; Lindín, Carles; Vicario Solórzano, Claudia Marina; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; University of AlicanteSmart technologies in educational platforms need a new vision to organize attributes and characteristics that facilitate search and retrieval. This study reports the evaluation results of Open Educational Platforms (OEPs) in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). In a webinar, participants selected OEPs using a structured instrument provided during the session. The instrument includes a two-section rubric. The first section validates the obligatory metadata and adherence to an open license. The second quantitatively assesses the quality of the OEPs in seven dimensions. The questions guiding this research were: Which OEPs in STEAM aligned with the principles of open education scored the highest quality assessment, and in which dimensions? Which dimensions obtained the lowest means? 1) The highest-scoring STEAM OEPs were Khan Academy and GeoGebra, scoring highest in the dimensions "Smart Components," "Learner Support," and "Technical Support." 2) On average, the dimensions with the lowest scores were "Smart Components," "Learner Support," and "Technical Support." OEP developers should consider a new information architecture with metadata for demarcations that require new data sets for greater long-term scalability.

The study revealed significant findings: (a) the simulation generator provides learners with flexible and tailored educational experiences. (b) the Interface and Performance and Effectiveness aspects of the Virtual Logistics were highly rated, achieving an "Excellent" usability level; (c) however, Content Organization and Navigation were perceived as slightly less effective, receiving a "Good" usability rating and highlighting areas in need of improvement. These results demonstrate student’s satisfaction, and therefore, the transformative potential of simulation-based learning tools in logistics education. Virtual Logistics offers valuable guidance for educators, policymakers, and industry leaders, aligning educational tools with dynamic requirements, ensuring that future professionals are well-equipped to face the complexities of the modern logistics landscape.
- ChatGPT as a flipped learning tool in education: a case study in chemical engineering(2024) Delgado Fabián, Mónica; Huesca Juárez, Gilberto; Carrera Flores, Héctor Eder; Menchaca Torre, Hilda Lizette; Garcia Peñalvo, Francisco José; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; University of AlicanteRapid technology advancement has profoundly impacted global education systems, particularly in the context of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI). This research's objective was to evaluate the potential integration of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, in chemical engineering education. In a course that employed flipped learning as an active learning strategy, the use of videos as a pre-class preparation activity was replaced by ChatGPT. The study employed a quantitative research design with an exploratory approach, with a sample size of 41 students. The efficacy of integrating ChatGPT was assessed by contrasting the normalized learning gain between the focus and control groups. The results of the descriptive statistics and the t-test indicate that there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the normalized learning gain. The principal findings regarding the utilization of ChatGPT in chemical engineering curricula are as follows: first, it has the potential to enhance the explanation of fundamental concepts; second, it presents a challenge in tasks that require complex calculations; and third, it offers an opportunity for developing critical thinking in students. This research contributes to the existing literature on the use of ChatGPT as a tool in flipped classroom and highlights the ongoing need for further work on instructional design.
