- Competencies for sustainable development and open education: research in higher education(Springer Link, 2024-10-23) Montes Martínez, Ruth; Portugal Toro, Arlene; Tworek, Michael; Antón Ares, Paloma; Ramirez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Transforming society to create a sustainable world requires structural changes in each person’s perceptions and actions. This research aimed to identify the sustainable development competencies possessed or evidenced by future primary education teachers, and the skills they must use and reuse to design resources and open educational practices for learning or educating about sustainable development. The study employed a mixed research method with a sample of 28 students with bachelor’s degree in Primary Education who participated in a learning experience focused on developing educational and social entrepreneurship projects with a vision of sustainable development. The students responded to a Likert scale questionnaire to self-evaluate their knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding sustainable development and open education. The projects developed by the students were analyzed, and a focus group was held to learn their opinions regarding the experience and learning. The results show a significant change in the students regarding a) knowledge about sustainable development, b) skills and actions for open education, c) awareness about sustainable development, and d) values and actions focused on sustainable development.
- Serious games affordances in financial complex scenarios: an activity theory analysis(Springer Link, 2024-10-23) Ramirez Montoya, María Soledad; Patiño Zúñiga, Irma Azeneth; Morales Chan, Miguel Antonio; Cárdenas Rodríguez, Yiny Paola; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Serious Games in education are designed to foster learning and skills development through structured play, specifically targeting educational outcomes rather than entertainment. This study aims to identify the learning affordances of a Serious Game for enhancing financial literacy among university students within complex financial scenarios. This study aimed to identify the learning affordances of a serious game designed to enhance financial literacy among university students, particularly within complex financial scenarios. Utilizing a qualitative research design, data were collected through a combination of surveys with open-ended questions and learning analytics derived from the game. Activity Theory-based content analysis was conducted on responses from 143 university students at a private institution in Mexico, using QDA Miner 5. The findings from this study reveal: (a) a diversity of perceived learning gains across six financial domains—Budgeting, Savings, Credit and Debt, Retirement, Investments, and Other; (b) a significant emphasis on financial concepts and the management of minor expenses, highlighting the game’s focus on comprehensive money management skills; and (c) key game elements linked to learning gains included savings minigames, ant minigames, quizzes, tasks, and time constraints. These results underscore the potential of serious games in fostering a practical understanding of financial literacy, suggesting important implications for educational communities and decision-makers in designing and implementing more effective educational technologies.
- Towards sustainable futures: Validating an instrument for assessing sustainable development competence in open education(Proceedings of IMSCI 2024, 2024-09-10) Montes Martínez, Ruth; Ramirez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Educating for sustainable development is important to ensure economic, environmental, and social well-being for present and future generations. The purpose of this paper is to share a tool to self-assess the competence of sustainable development in the framework of an open education that guarantees the development of timely actions. In the methodology for determining the validity and reliability of the instrument presented, validation by expert judgment was used to determine content validity; for construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were considered. Five expert judges and 124 students of the bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education participated in the process. The results show a valid and reliable instrument that includes four dimensions: knowledge on sustainable development, skills and actions for open education, awareness on sustainable development, values, and actions for sustainable development. The instrument that was designed can be used in formal and informal educational contexts in which the objective is to contribute to education for sustainable development through open education.
