2025-06-01T20:56:13+00:00

The advancement of teaching in digital environments has brought with it both challenges and advantages for current education. This article explores how technologies can function as a transformative agent in educational processes that take place on digital platforms. Using a methodological approach that combines quantitative and qualitative techniques, case studies were evaluated in educational institutions that have implemented pedagogical strategies supported by technological tools. The main findings reflect that the most notable barriers include the opposition to change expressed by some teachers and the insufficiency of the necessary technological infrastructure. However, important benefits were also identified, such as the possibility of personalizing learning, expanding access to education, and strengthening digital skills in both teaching staff and students. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive strategy is proposed that includes inclusive public policies, ongoing teacher training, and the creation of innovative educational methodologies adapted to digital contexts. It is also essential to promote digital literacy and guarantee equal opportunities in accessing information and communication technologies, ensuring that these tools contribute effectively to learning. This article emphasizes the need to consider the particularities of digital spaces and to continue researching their long-term impact in the educational field.

APLICACIÓN MÓVIL WEB COMO ESTRATEGIA PEDAGÓGICA PARA FORTALECER LAS COMPETENCIAS CIUDADANAS EN ESTUDIANTES DE UNDÉCIMO GRADO

2025-06-01T20:56:16+00:00

This research project was developed as a master's thesis in Educational Technology Management, with the general objective of determining the influence of a pedagogical strategy using a mobile web application to strengthen citizenship competencies among eleventh-grade students at the Jesús Emilio Jaramillo Monsalve Educational Institution in Chita municipality. The initial problem emerged from observing persistent conflicts between students that deteriorated the school environment. Methodologically, a mixed approach was implemented with 14 students. Data collection instruments included written tests, surveys, and observation forms. The analysis was conducted in three levels: first, classification and coding by categories; second, qualitative description of graphs; and third, analysis and interpretation of variables. The mobile technology-based strategy significantly strengthened students' citizenship competencies, showing a remarkable transformation in decision-making, respect for diversity, and agreement-building indicators. Low performance practically disappeared while high performance increased across all three areas. Results demonstrate how the mobile web application, through its interactivity and accessibility, not only improved quantitative indices but also developed practical skills for democratic coexistence and active citizen participation. During implementation, we faced two logistical challenges. The first concerned the availability of the multipurpose classroom functioning as a computer lab, where initial schedule conflicts were resolved through collaborative agreement with the subject teacher. The second challenge arose from power outages in the rural area, causing two sessions to be rescheduled. Although the application can function without internet connection, it requires an enabled intranet. The project ultimately showed how educational technology can effectively address behavioral and social challenges in educational settings, providing students with practical tools for conflict resolution and democratic participation while improving the overall school environment.

CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE TEACHING ROLE

2025-06-01T20:55:26+00:00

Nowadays, educational systems are highly influenced by various factors and elements;
all those transformations at the political, economic and social level have a direct impact
on the conceptions that are held about the educational process. The teaching profession
as a humanistic and purely social discipline is one of the main areas that undergoes
great changes because of the conditions of the environment. Being a teacher today is
not the same as being a teacher in the 20th century and even more so if this reality
is perceived from the legal field. All the norms, laws and decrees in force demand a
high level of commitment from practicing teachers since figures such as legality, due
process, responsibility, among many other topics become a crucial part of the educational
discourse. In this sense, this essay examines the complexity and implications of civil
liability in the context of the teaching role in Colombia, exploring how social and legal
demands influence the performance and obligations of educators. Through the analysis
of cases and legal theories, the challenges and responsibilities faced by teachers in their
daily practice are discussed, to conclude that it is necessary for the State to create a
program whose objective is the legal protection of teachers in practice, to propose a
reform to the regulations that govern legal sanctions for teachers, and to include legal
training in the curriculum of undergraduate programs that train graduates in the country.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFORMATION AND CONSTRUCTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE: THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN THE USE OF AI IN CLASSROOMS

2025-06-01T20:55:09+00:00

This article explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the teaching and learning process, highlighting the role of teachers as mediators in its integration into the educational sphere. It provides a historical overview of the evolution of AI, from its early conceptualizations in literature texts, to the pioneering scientific developments to evaluate the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence. The article also addresses key points in AI development, such as the emergence of expert systems and advances in deep learning. AI offers diverse perspectives in the educational context, such as personalized learning and optimizing teaching through digital tools, but also poses significant challenges, including the potential dehumanization of the educational process, technological dependence, and the need to ensure the privacy and security of students' data. Therefore. AI should be conceived as a complementary tool in education, never as a substitute for teachers. Some platforms have already validated their usefulness for optimizing teaching, where human mediation remains essential to ensure the integral development of learners. The success of AI integration in education will depend on a balance between technology and teaching, ensuring that learning continues to be a human, reflective, and socially meaningful process.

EDUCACIÓN Y CIUDADANÍA: REFLEXIONES SOBRE EL IMPACTO DE LA MODERNIDAD Y LA POSMODERNIDAD EN EL SUJETO ACTIVO

2025-06-01T20:55:25+00:00

This essay analyzes the impact of modernity and postmodernity on the construction
of the political and citizen subject, which is based on the idea that human history has
been shaped by social, ethical and scientific transformations that influence lifestyles
and conceptions of the world. He relates this process to Comte’s law of three stages
(theological, metaphysical and positivist) and the emergence of modernity in Europe
between the 18th and 19th centuries. Modernity is understood as a period of emancipation
and consolidation of universal values, although loaded with contradictions by prioritizing
reason and science, as authors such as Quijano and Mariátegui point out. In contrast,
Bauman describes postmodernity as a stage of individualism and consumerism, while
Villoro criticizes the unfulfilled promises of modernity and proposes a community vision
based on collective values. The essay highlights the role of education as a key to forming
critical and active citizens, capable of overcoming passive citizenship and promoting the
common good. It concludes by underlining the importance of redefining citizenship in
the postmodern era to build authentic democracies based on ethics, deliberation and
collective action in the face of contemporary inequalities.

The intention of this study is to reflect on the detachment of students from the traditional that is part of their cultural heritage, while the influence and impact of new digital trends increases to the same extent that the student assumes a greater addiction to social networks, games, challenges that are part of the enormous consumption of information within the daily life of young people; hence, the importance of exploring experiences that allow to discuss in relation to physical education as a compulsory subject where you can.

EMOTIONS ALSO GO TO SCHOOL WITH A LOOK FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD

2025-06-01T20:55:41+00:00

Emotional education is essential for human development and it is essential to address it
from its earliest stages in the educational field, which favors managing and reacting in an
assertive manner. Each process that our body experiences internally generates different
experiences in the environment that surrounds it and its culture. The relationship that
is acquired with the teacher in its first learning processes in early childhood is vital, not
only in its learning but also in how students manage their emotions in the educational
environment; but there is a fundamental role for the family and those around them because
taking into account that these are their first processes that foster and strengthen ties that
will allow students to enhance their skills with more security, it is essential to strengthen
the family-school alliances that contribute and more so today in which due to different
situations in life there are no longer nuclear families, but extended ones in a momentary
coexistence of who takes care of the children. It seeks a deep reflection of society and the
role of vital education in emotional processes in early childhood and recognizes its being
in each of its facets, which give a vital turn to the life of each of the students who are being
formed in an integral way.

2025-06-01T20:55:27+00:00

The pedagogical knowledge of teachers is conceived as a dynamic and relational
process that goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge. In the context of natural
sciences, this knowledge encompasses not only technical mastery of disciplinary content
but also the ability to contextualize it, promoting situated teaching that connects scientific
theories with students’ cultural, environmental, and social realities.Therefore, this article
aims to contrast from a dialectical perspective how teachers build and transform their
pedagogical knowledge when interacting with sociocultural dynamics, facing tensions
between traditional approaches and the demands of contextualized education. The
methodological process that was used was a qualitative approach to interpret reality
through an essay that started from a bibliographical survey arguing the postulates
that are narrated in it, proposing an emergent and adaptive knowledge, shaped by the
interactions and the ethical-environmental commitment of the teachers.It is concluded that
pedagogical knowledge, from a dialectical perspective, is a dialogical and participatory
process. Teachers are critical agents who, through experience and reflection, co-construct
meaningful and transformative pedagogical understandings tailored to the contextual
needs of their educational communities

2025-06-01T20:53:49+00:00

Schools play a fundamental role in the development of critical citizens, as they promote analytical thinking and reflection on social reality. Through a curriculum that encourages debate, research, and discussion, students learn to question established norms and develop a critical stance toward the problems that surround them. Education should not only focus on the acquisition of knowledge but also on cultivating skills such as empathy, tolerance, and respect for diversity, essential elements for developing individuals capable of actively participating in a democratic society. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the role of schools in the development of critical citizens. To achieve this goal, a qualitative methodology will be used, based on an essay-style text. The conclusion is expected to be that educators have the responsibility to guide young people in developing a critical consciousness that allows them not only to understand their environment but also to contribute to its transformation. For this reason, schools are key to empowering future citizens with the necessary tools to analyze, question, and act for the common good.

DISRUPTIVE CRITIQUE OF GAMIFICATION AS AN EDUCATIONAL STRATEGY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

2025-06-01T20:55:19+00:00

The 21st century is accompanied by the emergence of new emerging educational
proposals linked to ICTs, showing themselves to be promising sources of improving
teaching-learning processes in classrooms. In this essay, gamification will be discussed
as a competent pedagogical strategy for the current needs of education, for which
documentary information from doctoral theses, scientific articles, books and magazines,
consulted in libraries and virtual repositories, was taken into account as an epistemic
source under the categories of gamification, motivation, game and operant conditioning.
Exposing successes and failures of gamification in its theoretical bases and structures,
as well as in the relationship with motivation and its use in the classroom. Managing
to conclude that gamification can be a useful methodology sporadically in classes, by
improving extrinsic motivation and not intrinsic motivation, preventing its uses from being
extrapolated in time, contexts and the understanding of concepts. At the same time, its
behavioral factor is evident when using operant conditioning to generate motivation and
changes in the user, indicating the possible consequences of its misuse, such as stress
or detachment from the activity when exposed to these stimuli for long periods of time.

GAMIFIED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD

2025-06-01T20:55:36+00:00

Assuming that every educational process develops satisfactorily is a fundamental
principle of education. For this reason, the creation of environments where all participants
feel comfortable and willing to engage in learning could be essential. Based on this, the
present essay addresses the importance of intrinsic motivation and how it can influence
each individual’s desire to engage in activities for pleasure and satisfaction, without
requiring external rewards. It highlights the possibility of a motivational teaching process
aimed at fostering meaningful, autonomous learning towards higher levels of academic
performance, while also addressing student demotivation. In this context, gamification
can be an effective strategy to stimulate motivation during this process, as it involves
elements, dynamics, and interactions inherent to games that can foster interest and
enjoyment in learning, thanks to the possibility of turning conventional activities into more
attractive and effective experiences. From the above, it can be initially concluded that
there is a need for sufficient awareness about learning, gamification, and motivation,
which likely emphasizes relevant and organized planning while considering mediational
methods and technological resources that, together, can help create dynamic educational
environments that stimulate both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, depending on the
student’s disposition towards learning and the success of the educational process.

LA FENOMENOLOGÍA COMO MÉTODO DE INVESTIGACIÓN DE LAS EMOCIONES DE LOS DOCENTES: UNA OPORTUNIDAD PARA LA REFLEXIÓN

2025-06-01T20:55:23+00:00

The concept of comprehensive training for students began to gain importance a few
decades ago, so the educational field as well as educational policies have emphasized
that to achieve this purpose it is of special relevance to include emotional education for
both the student population and the teaching population, it is recognized that educators
are a fundamental axis that contributes to the comprehensive training and quality
education, likewise it is emphasized that not only solid academic knowledge is required,
but also an adequate emotional management. Nowadays, it is necessary for educators to
have emotional competencies to face the challenges that their profession demands. This
demand for emotional competencies in teachers, which has been driven by contemporary
educational policies, motivates the use of qualitative methods such as the philosophical
phenomenological approach to explore, from a deeper and more detailed perspective,
teachers’ emotions and their impact on the school context. The purpose of this essay is
to reflect on phenomenology as the appropriate method to investigate emotions in the
educational process, highlighting its advantages, its limitations and the implications it
can have on teaching practice. On the other hand, recent research using this method to
better understand teachers’ emotions and their relationship with the school environment is
reviewed and critically analyzed, concluding that phenomenology offers a powerful tool for
emotional analysis in the educational sector. Finally, this method allows the development
of effective intervention strategies that respond to the emotional needs of both teachers
and students, thus promoting an educational environment with greater collaborative,
humane and inclusive interaction.

EXPLORING CONCEPTIONS OF DISORDERS AND DISABILITY, MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITY AND MENTAL DISORDER: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

2025-06-01T20:53:41+00:00

In Colombia, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, some children and adolescents presented symptoms that impacted their mental health. An increase in the levels of anxiety, depression, stress, among others, was observed. Although these symptoms can manifest themselves in different ways, it is crucial to differentiate their classification: mental health problems (or diseases), mental disorders and psychosocial disability. To this end, entities such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) have developed criteria to categorize these disorders. Although these constructs originate in the health sector, their incidence in education has generated great challenges when thinking about quality education, which has led to the need to transcend from medical models focused on rehabilitation to social and rights-based models that promote values of inclusion and equity, but has also created terminological ambiguities that hinder the conceptual distinction between mental health problems, mental disorders and psychosocial disability, which perpetuate homogenizing practices, attitudinal barriers and social stigmas. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to establish a conceptual distinction between these categories, using a descriptive-exploratory methodology based on the review of academic literature. Documents from international entities that classify developmental disorders and national policies related to the participation of people with diagnoses were included, in addition to searches in databases such as Google Scholar, Scielo, Dialnet and Scopus. Research on higher education and those that do not explicitly address the conceptualization of the terms analyzed were excluded. The findings highlight the importance of providing support that addresses the particularities of each individual. It is concluded that a clear and precise understanding of these concepts is essential to move towards inclusive and rights-based practices.

In order to understand and interpret how universal design allows the teacher to create spaces that strengthen the processes I pedagogical practice. A review of the literature will be carried out that theoretically supports the universal design for learning as a support in the teaching work that is developed before, during and after each moment of planning, this is developed before, during and after each moment of planning, this theoretical review allows contextualizing the three elementary principles and guidelines that are relevant for the strengthening of educational praxis that emphasizes teaching and learning, at the same time, take into account the three networks that are known for neuroscientific foundations. The methodology is based on a qualitative, interpretative approach, with a theoretical documentary review technique that is focused on the framework of universal design between the historical and the current. It is concluded that universal design is important for learning in the process of executing the plans designed by the teacher to interact with the learning that the student must acquire, demonstrating the different ways of reaching knowledge, affectivity and strategy.

IMPACT OF DIGITAL RESOURCES ON READING COMPREHENSION IN LATIN AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS: A LITERATURE REVIEW STUDY

2025-06-01T20:53:44+00:00

This study analyzed the impact of digital resources on reading comprehension within Latin American educational contexts through a systematic literature review. Eight empirical and quasi-experimental studies, published between 2013 and 2024, were selected and analyzed, focusing on the use of digital technologies to enhance reading comprehension at various educational levels. The methodology involved the collection and categorization of data based on learning types, levels of comprehension, textual typologies, and digital resources employed. The results indicate that digital tools are effective in improving reading comprehension, particularly at the literal and criterial levels. However, inferential and critical comprehension showed no significant improvements, suggesting the need to supplement these tools with other pedagogical strategies. Additionally, the study highlighted that student motivation and engagement increase with the use of interactive technologies such as Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs), which is crucial in educational contexts with technological limitations. The conclusions emphasize that while digital resources can enhance learning, their effectiveness largely depends on the available infrastructure and teacher training. The lack of adequate technological access and insufficient teacher preparation limits the potential benefits of these tools. The study concludes that further research and adjustments to digital strategies are necessary to more effectively address the various dimensions of reading comprehension, with particular focus on inferential and critical comprehension.

THE GENDER APPROACH IN COLOMBIAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES

2025-06-01T20:53:15+00:00

In the educational context, gender equity has been a challenging goal to achieve. It arises from feminist efforts to attain equality in women's rights compared to men in modernity, where certain advancements can be observed, even though challenges remain. Therefore, the purpose of this academic essay is to present the progress and challenges of the gender approach in education, particularly at the preschool, primary, and secondary levels. To this end, a thorough review of both primary and secondary sources was conducted, including government documents and reports, as well as books, theories, and references. From this analysis, it becomes evident that the underlying principles of gender equity often seem to fade in the current reality, with limited substantive implementation, possibly due to the persistent patriarchal culture within the educational system, along with economic and social issues that contribute to gender inequality. Finally, from a differential and intersectional approach, possible actions are proposed to renew the necessary structures for the consolidation and sustainability of the gender approach as a matter of collective interest.

2025-06-01T20:55:59+00:00

This article focuses on the objective of reflecting on the implications of the double emotional burden of teachers in conflict mediation and emotional well-being. The research is based on the review and analysis of documents, scientific publications, the national legal framework related to emotional education and informal narratives of teachers of the District Secretariat of Education in Bogota. The results of the reflective
analysis show that the lack of training programs in emotional education generates a double emotional burden on teachers, negatively impacting their ability to manage conflicts in the classroom and create a positive learning environment. However, it is concluded that investing in teachers' emotional well-being is a long-term strategy that benefits both students and teachers. By promoting emotional education training programs and creating healthier work environments, teachers' ability to manage their own emotions and those of their students can be improved, thus fostering a more positive and collaborative school climate.

RURAL EDUCATION A CHALLENGE FROM THE TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL

2025-06-01T20:55:49+00:00

Education as a system is developed through educational models, which in practice must be focused according to the context to which they will be applied, that is, rural areas and urban areas. Therefore, we can find that educational institutions (EI) located in urban centers address integrated models such as “graduate school” or “traditional school” focused in turn on theories such as constructivism, meaningful learning, among others; Meanwhile, in rural areas, flexible models are faced such as the “new school” up to primary and post-primary secondary. Now, in Colombia, I.E., are observed that link two educational models, that is, they alternate the traditional school with the new school; which means that the teacher in his role as facilitator must strengthen his skills and attitudes necessary to perform his work effectively and efficiently, in turn adapting his learning to the new reality. Rural education in Colombia has historically demonstrated technical and tactical shortcomings, this being evidenced in the low results of students in census tests that measure the quality of education, which is why improvement efforts must arise in a tripartite manner, that is, between education professionals, the I.E and the teacher training faculties where teaching practice is also combined with rural and urban life.

INTELITICS: REDEFINIENDO EL SUJETO EDUCATIVO EN LA ERA DE LA INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL

2025-06-01T20:56:04+00:00

This article examines the profound reconfiguration of educational subjectivities in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Grounded in Foucault's concept of “technologies of the self,” Castells' theory of the information society, Piscitelli's reflections on digital education, Turkle's analyzes of digital identity, Han's critique of the transparency society, and Jiménez-Agudelo's ideas about “plug and play bodies,” the study explores how these technologies are primarily redefining the nature of learning and the identity of teachers and students. It analyzes how AI and ICT not only transform pedagogical practices, but also radically reconfigure power relations, autonomy and the construction of knowledge in the educational field. The article investigates the implications of this identity metamorphosis, addressing issues such as “algorithmic governmentality”, the emergence of “posthuman intelligences”, and the fusion between the biological and the digital in education. Based on these theoretical frameworks, it is argued that the integration of AI and ICT in education is not a mere adaptation of tools, but rather a paradigmatic change that requires rethinking mainly the concepts of learning, cognition and educational identity. The article proposes a critical approach that, instead of seeking to preserve traditions, ventures into the exploration and configuration of new educational models that respond to the emerging realities of the digital age.

A COMMITMENT TOWARDS CHANGE IN LEGAL EDUCATION WITH A VISION TO ETHICS AND LEGAL DEONTOLOGY

2025-06-01T20:55:51+00:00

The professional practice of lawyers, as well as the number of professionals entering the labor market and the different specificities that arise around these variables, currently project a discouraging panorama full of restlessness that is reflected by figures that have broken trends of more than 13 years, such as, for example, the 1,597 professionals sanctioned by 2023. These figures reinforce the concern that various sectors and government directives have expressed, affecting the good name and credibility of the practical and legal practice carried out by lawyers. Within the countless efforts to try to recover that legal tradition of more than 50 years, the National Government issued Law 1095 of 2018 that seeks to validate the suitability of graduates of law programs. This exam, made up of 63 questions, addresses the following competencies: (a) legal diagnosis, (b) communication in the legal field and (c) defense of the Constitution and the ethics of the practice of law; measures that are not sufficient if we take into account that every day the number of IES programs that obtain the qualified registry to offer the law program is increasing (some of them in dual modality, presence and virtual); which leads to an oversupply that does not contrast with a devalued demand for professionals, where according DANE statistics for the month of January 2024, it generated a contraction of -64%. The universities who formulate the study plans and the teachers in charge of the transmissions of knowledge have a leading role in the training of upright professionals endowed with skills and professional values, which allow them to face the new challenges demanded by the new procedural systems and a harsher work world.
