Thus, thestudy explores the voices of university professors, facing the question, What narratives of teachers account for how they interpret their role in the training of so-<br />cially responsible professionals?</p> <p>From an interpretative perspective, the experiences that make up the training in social responsibility, oriented to university teachers, are resignified from the<br />transformational dimension of collective leadership from Scharmer's U Theory.<br />The results show that teacher training has allowed them to change the internal<br />place from which they operate as teachers and the ways they relate, which affects the transformative potential of collective leadership. Consequently, maintaining<br />an active training of teachers in this regard, not only creates spaces for personal reflection, but also collective spaces, generating an articulated network that af-<br />fects institutional training practices, especially at the classroom level which are fundamentally related to teaching in close relationship with the problems of so-<br />ciety.</p> Maite Jiménez Peralta, Gladys Jiménez Alvarado, Jonathan Hermosilla Cortés, Loreto Morales Acevedo Copyright (c) 2023 Maite Jiménez Peralta, Gladys Jiménez Alvarado, Jonathan Hermosilla Cortés, Loreto Morales Acevedo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1935 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Technical and academic pedagogical advice. A innovation strategy https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1985 <p>Hybrid educational systems have prompted Higher Education Institutions, HEIs, to continue focusing on teacher development in innovative digital and pedagogical skills due to changes in academic-pedagogical management. In this context, UNESCO IESALC has implemented various training programs for teachers in this area with an innovative methodology that includes the implementation of quality technical and pedagogical advice in its execution that represent a determining factor to meet the objective of designing appropriate strategies. to blended mode. The UNESCO IESALC methodology contributes to strengthening educational quality by incorporating agile methodologies and change management together with pedagogical strategies. Consequently the consultancies serve as support and guidance to the teacher, who seeks to optimize the teaching and learning processes; They are supported by various methods and activities of reflection, active and collaborative learning. Combining them with design think-<br />ing, analysis based on Wilber and Cynefin models, achieves maximum performance in this changing world that demands innovative processes from the teacher. In conclusion, UNESCO IESALC relies on technical and pedagogical advice, as gear to build a quality learning experience.</p> Ivory Mogollón, Ana María Castro Antonio, Mendoza, Kely Quiros, Angela Hahn Copyright (c) 2023 Ivory Mogollón, Ana María Castro Antonio, Diego Mendoza, Kely Quiros, Angela Hahn https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1985 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Virtual simulations + Flipped classroom for Physiology learning. Pilot project https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2037 <p>In this study, the implementation of virtual simulations as a complementary tool in Physiology education under the flipped classroom approach was investigated. The main objective was to assess the perception of students from various health-related disciplines towards this innovative methodology. The results revealed a predominantly positive perception among the students. The simulations were deemed user-friendly and aided in the comprehension of theoretical concepts. Furthermore, it was observed that their usage fostered motivation, autonomy, and a heightened interest in learning. In conclusion, the utilization of virtual simulations in Physiology education, within the framework of the flipped classroom, proved to be effective in promoting active learning among health sciences students. These findings endorse the significance of integrating technological tools and innovative approaches into education, thereby enhancing students' motivation and confidence in their own learning process.</p> Silvina Gayol, Manuel Arias-Calderón, Cristina Navarro, Paula Riquelme Copyright (c) 2023 Silvina Gayol, Manuel Arias-Calderón, Cristina Navarro, Paula Riquelme https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2037 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Social Media as an informative and educational channel. An opportunity to build bridges. https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2170 <p>Social media have transformed communication, learning and information exchange. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen research to determine the real education value. The following longitudinal observational study sought<br />to evaluate the impact of the Instagram account of the medical school of the Universidad de Chile. This was done through a questionnaire and seven interactive questions through the platform. Among the results, the questionnaire highlights that 55% of the followers received important information about the career from the platform, and 49,3% were educated on health issues. Similar<br />results were obtained from the interactive questions, in addition to the fact that 98% of respondents stated that LGTBQ+ respect and inclusion were promoted<br />and 90% considered that the initiative helped first-year students. From the above, the importance of creating a common student-teacher narrative through collaborative work on informational and educational strategies is discussed, concluding that the importance of this research lies not only in the need to disseminate information, but also in the construction of safe and respectful spaces.</p> Álvaro Herrera, Romina Pulgar, Faviana Montalvo, Carla Jiménez, Sofía Blanco Copyright (c) 2023 Álvaro Herrera, Romina Pulgar, Faviana Montalvo, Carla Jiménez, Sofía Blanco https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2170 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0300 Intervening factors in the Early Interruption of the academic trajectory (IAT) at Instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1913 <p>Many studies on dropout and academic desertion are based on negative connotations and perspectives that focus guilt on the student.

Given the situation in the field of health worldwide, it was forced to close its physical doors because of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving rise to a contingency plan for its teaching processes integrating ICT, privileging the development of an education with values of the Kingdom of God that allows its members personal fulfillment and reinforcement of their commitment to the transformation of their family and social environment. The objective of this work is to analyze the influence of the Kemmis action-research model supported by ICT in the teaching processes at UNEV during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is research of nonexperimental design and descriptive scope. The results show that the Kemmis action-research model, with the holistic incorporation of ICT<br />at UNEV, facilitated the continued operation of its academic processes uninterruptedly, favorably achieving acceptance in the face of the complex change from face-to-face to virtual modality in an accelerated manner. In addition, collaborative work was evidenced as social learning, integrating knowledge communities.</p> Karina López Santiago, Jovina Andrea De la Cruz Lombert Copyright (c) 2023 Karina López Santiago, Jovina Andrea De la Cruz Lombert https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2050 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Reducing public speaking anxiety in university students: Effects of the Anchor App program https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1918 <p>This study tested a voice training program supported by an appli cation (Anchor) to observe its effects on public speaking anxiety (PSA). A quasi-experimental design was used, with 340 students as the participants of this study. 161 participants were assigned to the experimental group and 177 were assigned to the control group. The results showed significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in PSA posttest measures (t = 2.147, Sig = .033) with an effect size (d = .25) which could be considered large for educational interventions.

Through an educational design-based research, this paper aims to<br />characterize a comprehensive teacher training plan which addressed remote teaching between 2020-2022. This plan consisted of 38 complementary workshops which were organized around three focuses: 1) planning remote<br />teaching activity, 2) implementing online teaching and 3) teacher autonomy in the management of technological resources. The plan enabled training in these<br />competencies while promoting the exchange of experiences and knowledge among 1,433 teachers. It sought to generate learning based on their previous<br />knowledge and practices and to promote situated actions based on pedagogical theories on good university teaching practices. Within this framework, the faculty developed 428 productions such as remote class plannings, learning<br />assessment activities, teaching materials, and the design of educational programmes for virtual environments, among others. This training strategy sustained over time, based on exchange, reflection and work with situated teaching practices, strengthens the construction of academic communities.</p> Gisela Schwartzman , Michelle Berk, Virginia Jalley, Susana Meza, Erica Delorenzi Copyright (c) 2023 Gisela Schwartzman , Michelle Berk, Virginia Jalley, Susana Meza, Erica Delorenzi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1953 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Assessment study of learning based on design projects, in students of the Business Strategy course. https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2058 <p>Entrepreneurship is a common economic activity throughout Chile, which encourages professionals from various areas to create and innovate in the design of business ideas at a national and regional level.

The present study aims to describe the perceptions of first-year students of Pedagogy in Differential Education regarding the assessment given to the case study methodology implemented in a workshop that integrates three subjects. Under a qualitative study approach with a phenomenological design, 5 focus groups and an online<br />form were applied to a total of 35 students. The results show that the students identify having the skills declared in the learning outcomes, they establish a link between the skills developed in the integrated workshop with the graduate profile and perceive having developed specific and generic skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, selflearning, and understanding and awareness of the respect and dignity of people. It is concluded that the case study methodology contributes to the interdisciplinary understanding of knowledge, to its application in a<br />collaborative manner and significantly to the achievement of various skills established in the graduate profile.</p> Carola Cerpa Reyes, MayBritt Aros Pereira, Pabla Rivera Iribarren Copyright (c) 2023 Carola Cerpa Reyes, MayBritt Aros Pereira, Pabla Rivera Iribarren https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1958 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Case based teaching strategies in higher education in health sciences https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1928 <p>Introduction: The use of cases is one of the most frequent practices in health sciences teaching.<br />Objectives: To determine the value and meaning that teachers give to the inclusion of cases in their classes.<br />Method: A qualitative descriptive-interpretative documentary study in process is presented, in which health sciences higher education teachers’ plannings which include cases in the teaching strategies are analyzed.<br />Results: Out of the 522 documents surveyed, 125 written productions on teaching strategies that include the use of cases were identified. Based on 24 of these records, a documentary matrix is constructed to systematize the main<br />dimensions and thus produce a guide to facilitate the design of teaching strategies with cases in the health field.<br />Discussion and conclusions: The first results allow us to recognize that the use of cases is central in these teaching strategies since their use enables addressing<br />the complexity of the professional practice in the classroom.

This investigation, is of a qualitative nature, phenomenological design, with non-probabilistic sampling, for convenience and purpose, collects information from 3 group interviews and documentary analysis of<br />portfolios. The content analysis criteria proposed by the grounded theory are followed in the open and axial coding phases for data analysis. The students’ perception records that the use of the multisensorial methodology allows them to have a major domain of the territorial components as of the role the diverse senses play; they reveal the importance of the conceptual use in the definition of territory<br />and the consideration over time as well as the cultural and social aspects; they perceive lack of time to exchange ideas with other peers highlighting collaborative work in the development of competences. From the results, it is<br />concluded that although there are diverse abilities that are required to develop the recognition of territorial competence, the multisensorial methodology makes an<br />important contribution to achieve it. </p> Karen Anacona, Carola Cerpa Copyright (c) 2023 Karen Anacona, Carola Cerpa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1964 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Progressive assessment of the development of compe- tencies in higher education students https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1979 <p>Education based on the development of competencies is proposed as a solution to the demands of globalization and the society of knowledge.

Quantitative descriptive research with a longitudinal approach is developed. The experience assumes that<br />involving trainees in authentic experiences (where external peer experts will be the evaluators of the work done) is the key to obtaining valid results in a context of generation and dissemination of knowledge. The results show that the pro-<br />posed process creates an effective system for students to learn to design and apply an applied research project, as well as to produce a scientific product for publication in indexed journals or conferences. The process also involves close accompaniment by the tutoring professor which, together with the phases and requirements described in this work, is a key factor in the training of university students as novice researchers and leads to a relevant experience, with outstand-<br />ing publications and a favorable perception on the part of the participating students and professor.</p> Raquel Ayala-Carabajo, Joe Llerena-Izquierdo Copyright (c) 2023 Raquel Ayala-Carabajo, Joe Llerena-Izquierdo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1906 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 UNESCO/IESALC methodological model for capacity de- velopment https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1946 <p>The world has changed a lot in recent decades and the current setting requires new tools and approaches to ways of working to evolve with them.

The objective of this study was to<br />characterize the sociodemographic, work, academic, and teacher training and induction aspects of nutritionists who teach in national programs. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out by means of an online survey to teachers of different N&amp;D programs that are part of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH). Seventy-four complete responses were obtained, where it was observed that the professors are mostly women, under 40 years of age, with a master's degree, working on contract, full time, spending most of their time on teaching and administrative management. With respect to induction and training in teaching, only 33.8% say they have had it, while 64.9% have a diploma in this area. The work characteristics are heterogeneous among the teaching staff, and the low level of induction to teaching and the absence of minimum training and/or perfectioning to practice this role, which demands more and more preparation to face current challenges, are a matter of concern.</p> Cinthya Espejo Alvarado, Karen Basfi-Fer Obregón, Andrea Muñoz Cerda, Paola Cáceres Rodriguez Copyright (c) 2023 Cinthya Espejo Alvarado, Karen Basfi-Fer Obregón, Andrea Muñoz Cerda, Paola Cáceres Rodriguez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2015 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 The Learning Communities as a methodology for the de- velopment of the Linkage Program with the Environment "Food Recovery" of a Chilean Dietetics Nutrition Career https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2059 <p>The Nutrition and Dietetics Career of a Chilean University within the framework of the subject "Innovation in the Food Industry" implements the Environmental Linkage Program (VcM) "Food Recovery".

This strategy inverts the traditional elements of teaching, providing asynchronous instruction outside the classroom, incorporating lesson plans, materials, and study guides to clarify the process. The synchronous instance consists of input control and class oriented to resolve clinical cases and develop major cognitive processes. A descriptive and<br />cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the implementation of IFC in the feto-placental unit evaluation seminar. The results indicate that most students<br />agreed that IFC facilitated learning, provided an efficient roadmap for the study of the topic, promoted active study and participation, and improved the quality of the seminars. The inclusion of student assistants in the preparation of the materials is suggested to optimize the strategy. Future research could compare the effectiveness of IFC with other teaching methods, explore its effectiveness in other contexts and with different groups of students.</p> Álvaro Herrera Alcaíno Copyright (c) 2023 Álvaro Herrera Alcaíno https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2169 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0300 Inclusion Programs in Higher Education: a Hearing Impairment Perspective https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1912 <p>Since the enactment of Law 20.422 (2010), universities have developed admission systems that guarantee equal opportunities and social inclusion of people with disabilities, based on the principles of independent living, accessibility and universal design, intersectoriality, participation and social dialogue.</p> <p>The following research analyzes the implementation of university inclusion programs aimed at Deaf people, from the point of view of managers and students who participate in them. Its design is qualitative, cross-sectional, with a phenomenological approach. Four managers and three deaf students participated, corresponding to the total population of students of the two higher education institutions that participated in the study. The managers and students answered a semistructured interview that addressed the topics of: commitment to learning, aca-<br />demic leadership, program management and disability support. The results show a high awareness of the importance of inclusion programs that have an impact on<br />institutional culture, a passive role of administrators and an attribution of greater responsibility to teachers regarding the academic success of deaf people; signifi-<br />cant divergences are observed in all areas of the study between the discourses given by administrators and students.

The study was conducted in a group of 18 pedagogy students from a Chilean university, to whom a previously validated instrument was applied, with items related to the construction of this graph. The results suggest that the participants have difficulties in the construction of the graph, mainly by omitting descriptive elements and miscalculating the quartiles. These future teachers may not be able to meet the training standards required for maths teachers in Chile, which provides evidence of the need to improve teacher training in topics related to statistical graphs.</p> Rodrigo Gutiérrez Martínez, Danilo Díaz-Levicoy, Audy Salcedo Copyright (c) 2023 Rodrigo Gutiérrez Martínez, Danilo Díaz-Levicoy, Audy Salcedo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2013 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 3D modeling as a methodological strategy in the design student's learning process https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2056 <p>The following text presents a study developed in the design career<br />of the University de La Serena, Chile, specifically in the degree project subject<br />corresponding to the fifth year of studies. 3D modeling is a content that students<br />experience from the 5th semester in the career, which allows them to experience<br />and bring the design project closer to reality.</p> <p>This is where they define a design problem, and then apply a design methodology, reflected in a functional prototype.

It seeks to describe the curricular integration present in the grills of the Kinesiology and Physiatry careers in Argentina, two categories are defined, the presence of<br />clinical subjects in the first two years and the presence of integrated courses. The results show that the greatest integration is given by the presence of clinical subjects in the first two years and to a lesser extent by the presence of integrated courses. The majority of the subjects present some clinical skill in their name, and very few show integration in the same subject of more than one skill as<br />clinical practice demands. We found that there are subjects that contain the word integration or more than two disciplines in their name, but it is not possible to see<br />how they are integrated. Only in one subject are the boundaries between disciplines blurred and a few subjects are organized around a health problem. In turn, in future research it will be necessary to investigate other levels of curricular specification that account for the concretion of integration.</p> Mario Ernesto Korell, María Laura Merlo Copyright (c) 2023 Mario Ernesto Korell, María Laura Merlo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2027 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Analysis of inclusive practices in some university services https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1932 <p>This work aims to investigate the main educational inclusion practices at the University of the Republic and more specifically at two of its services: the Faculty of Economics and Administration and the Faculty of Engineering.

It is composed of gender identity, gender role, biological sex, and sexual orientation. The objective of the research focused on unveiling in the academic experience the configurations of meaning in prescriptive and active discourses regarding sexual identity in a higher education institution that trains educators from the perspectives of inclusion and diversity. The study was based on an interpretative-qualitative approach based on a hermeneutic phenomenological method. In the first stage, interviews<br />were conducted with male and female academics. The second stage focused on a documentary analysis of institutional management instruments. Within the active<br />and prescriptive discourses, the academics configure their sexual identity with the gender self-concept and maintain a relationship of tension between the per-<br />sonal and working world. In which the roles and functions assumed by them are evaluated according to their efficacy, leaving underhandedly the self-esteem or the authenticity of the subjects.</p> Andrés Ignacio Seguel Arriagada Copyright (c) 2023 Andrés Ignacio Seguel Arriagada https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1978 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Burnout Syndrome in Faculty Members of the School of Medicine and Science at the University of San Sebastián, Concepción, Chile https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2040 <p>Burnout is a syndrome related to chronic work-related stress characterized by lack of energy, negative feelings, and lack of accomplishment. Educators face various occupational stressors such as high workloads, conflicts be-<br />tween teaching and research, and administrative demands. These factors can contribute to emotional exhaustion and increased depression among educators.<br />In this quantitative cross-sectional study conducted at the School of Medicine of the University of San Sebastián, Concepción, Chile, 28 educators were surveyed. It was found that in most of the analyzed questions, educators reported a low level of stress, with 10% of respondents stating they are doing work that is too hard, and 14.3% mentioning being at the limit of their capabilities. Howev-<br />er, it is emphasized that even these low levels warrant attention and care. Furthermore, a discrepancy is observed between the levels of burnout reported by educators and those reported by students at the same university. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of addressing burnout syndrome among university educators. Although the results indicate low levels of burnout in this<br />sample, further research and support for educators are necessary to promote their well-being and enhance the quality of education.</p> Carolina Muñoz , Jonathan Vásquez, Daiana Flores, Gisele Robles , Paola Peña Copyright (c) 2023 Carolina Muñoz , Jonathan Vásquez, Daiana Flores, Gisele Robles , Paola Peña https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2040 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Evaluation of a mentoring project for undergraduate university students https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2138 <p>This study evaluates the mentoring project implemented by a Latin American university, which is aimed at improving the adaptation processes of first cycle university students and provides accompaniment through peer mentors of higher cycles, in order to facilitate their induction to the Higher Education&nbsp;environment.</p> <p>The study compiles the experience of 74 student mentors (who provide accompaniment) and 538 mentored students (who receive accompaniment),&nbsp;through perception surveys adapted from studies of similar characteristics.

In the first phase, the knowledge and awareness level regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were analyzed among students in Education programs at a public univer-<br />sity in Madrid, Spain (n=153). The objective of this second phase is to propose different educational, innovative, and research based initiatives to implement the SDGs in teacher education, based on the previously identified needs. The methodology used is quantitative, and the information was obtained through a validated ad hoc questionnaire by experts, with good reliability. The main results show that, despite the high level of awareness among this group of students, further training and practical initiatives are needed to develop sustainability competencies and the abilities to address the challenges posed by the 2030 Agenda.

We want students to dialogue, discuss and reach agreements from the knowledge of the discipline, especially in controversial situations. Developing collaboration skills and disciplinary knowledge simultaneously is not easy. One possible way<br />to do this is by promoting deliberative argumentation (Felton et al., 2009) in students (contrasting and evaluating different and alternative points of view to reach the best possible solution). The problem is that this literature has been poorly developed in higher education, instead we find active teaching methodologies. We maintain that both perspectives are not contradictory and can feed each other. But how to do it? Particularly, what characteristics should a material have, within the framework of an active teaching methodology, to promote both knowledge construction and deliberation?

Understood as the opportunity to contribute from the academy in the solution of the social, educational, economic, and political problems of the<br />locality. Also, to provide in the process of training students the ability to become sensitized and act on the problems of a neighborhood, city, country, and region.<br />In this context, it is urgent to review whether projects have inclusive practices that allow the community to actively participate in local development issues. The<br />purpose of this research work is to identify inclusive practices in the phases of the educational intervention project in the community. The method is descriptive<br />with a qualitative approach through the systematization of experience. Two inclusive practices are identified: the participation of the actors in the different phases of the project and the second in the reflection of the didactic proposals from the inclusion. It is concluded that inclusive practices are derived from concrete and observable actions that favor the participation of people in their own<br />development.</p> José Aldana Reyes Copyright (c) 2023 José Aldana Reyes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1936 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Classroom research using new hybrid Methodologies for the Computer Engineering Project Management course, ITCR: Case study https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1937 <p>The following article states that through classroom Research we can bring students closer to the industry, that is to say, use new methods and tools within the class through the use of Hybrid Project Methodology as a proposal for the course of Project Management of the Computer Engineering career based on a case study of the company Legadmi.

One of its main strategies is promoting innovative and co-responsible teaching with the territory,<br />articulating opportunities for collaboration with organizations, guiding various experiential learning methodologies, and promoting a collective vision around<br />social responsibility. In this way, the Community Engagement approach that COLABORAR promotes is an integration between the functions of the university<br />(teaching, research, and management) with the interests of social impact. After four years of implementation, a comprehensive evaluation of its implementation and its preliminary results in teaching the faculty are being carried out. The territorial focus of teaching and the diversity of proposed methodologies have allowed the development of more than 120 products, contributing to organizations in the territory in more than 20 different topics. Support for innovation, diversity of approaches, possibilities of continuity and lasting collaboration ties are some<br />of the strengths of COLABORAR.</p> Elisa Manríquez, Fernanda Goñi Copyright (c) 2023 Elisa Manríquez, Fernanda Goñi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1938 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Digital competences in Teachers of initial police-training in Honduras https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1939 <p>This study aimed to determine the pedagogical competencies for initial police training in the National Police Academy in La Paz, Honduras.

The objective of this study was to diagnose the level of knowledge and interest in social welfare services and healthy lifestyle habits in officials of the National<br />Police University of Honduras (UNPH). Methodologically, a quantitative approach was used at a descriptive level and a convenience sample of 78 participants was considered, to which two instruments were applied, the first related to anthropometric measurement, based on BMI, ICC<br />and PA, followed by a self-report of 13 items about knowledge related to social welfare services<br />and 17 items of knowledge about healthy lifestyles. The results reached a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.83, likewise an average of 1.8 was obtained in terms of knowledge of social welfare services and an average of 2.3 in interest in healthy lifestyles. It is concluded that the participants have a medium level of knowledge about social welfare services, surpassed by interest in healthy lifestyle habits, a favorable scenario to implement programs of this nature.</p> Darío Manfredo Mejía Diaz, Digna Azucena Aguilera, Leoncio Obed Diaz, Andrea Paola Zelaya, Reina Gertrudis Aguilar, Luis Gerardo Reyes Flores Copyright (c) 2023 Darío Manfredo Mejía Diaz, Digna Azucena Aguilera, Leoncio Obed Diaz, Andrea Paola Zelaya, Reina Gertrudis Aguilar, Luis Gerardo Reyes Flores https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1941 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Temuco UniverCiudad Mobility Program: Empowering comprehensive training and establishing collaborative networks in the capital of La Araucanía https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1948 <p>The comprehensive training of future professionals is highly important for Higher Education Institutions.

The methodology focused on a quantitative approach and a correlated descriptive design; the population consisted of 385 students and the sample was obtained under a random procedure from 176 students from two self-distance teaching mode masters programs at a Peruvian university, to whom a questionnaire was applied that had questions concerning the sociodemographic factors and a Likert scale with 20 items about the selflanning skills. For the inferential analysis, the Chi Square X2 statistic was applied; the results show that the skills for self-planning of learning are not related to gender, profession and type of work, but there is a strong association with age (Sig.0.01) and place of residence (Sig.0.02).</p> Rosa Salas Sánchez, Daniela Medina Coronado, José Luis Llanos Castillo, Giuliana Saravia Ramos Copyright (c) 2023 Rosa Salas Sánchez, Daniela Medina Coronado, José Luis Llanos Castillo, Giuliana Saravia Ramos https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1950 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Infrastructures: the Support of Urban Territories Approaches to producing a manual for teaching territorial infrastructures in higher education. Strategies for active lifelong learning https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1951 <p>Analysis of infrastructures in a city allows its<br />competitiveness to be determined, and also identifies the degree of interest its citizens have in caring for the environment, the land, and existing natural resources. Including infrastructures in the study of urban problems makes appropriate planning and territorial management possible. Thereby guaranteeing a decent standard of<br />living with a view to the future. Today the formation of students in higher education requires a new, collective, approach based on a set of teaching techniques that stimulate reasoning, discussion, the elaboration of projects to conduct applicable diagnoses, the testing of hypotheses worked out in the classroom, and conceptual proposals for<br />solutions. The method of learning designed for the teaching of infrastructures is related to the nine most influential theories of UNESCO, from which those of Piaget and Vygotsky are selected with the idea of educating the student not only to be a passive receiver<br />of information, but a participant interacting with users of the city, and the creator of new mental structures in a specific contemporary context; social experimentation, multiple intelligences and twenty first century skills will give the students a perspective integrated with the rest of their education.

This methodology is based on problem-solving and a specific configuration of tasks and classroom management, using vertical surfaces and group work. To assess the potential of this methodology, two rubrics from the OECD were used to evaluate classes for the development of creativity and critical thinking. As a result, it was found that the methodology has the potential to develop creativity and critical thinking by effectively managing the classroom and presenting open-ended problems with high levels of cognitive demand, as suggested by the literature. As a future line of research, the aim is to validate the methodology by expanding the sample size and analyzing teaching situations in greater depth.</p> Daniela Olivares Copyright (c) 2023 Daniela Olivares https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1952 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Active Learning and Soft Skills in Engineering: Two Experiences Involving Community Engagement https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1954 <p>Two optional workshops of the School of Engineering of the Universidad de la República (Uruguay) are presented, which implement active learning methodologies to develop soft skills through working with different community<br />actors. The workshops involve Computer Engineering students at different career stages and address specific contents of the disciplines through work with mem-<br />bers of educational centers and small enterprises. Classroom observations and interviews were conducted to characterize these courses and gather students'<br />opinions. Common characteristics were identified in both workshops that show active learning in the proposals, the relevance of interaction with community actors, and the development of soft skills, including teamwork, communication, real problem-solving, autonomy and empathy. The students evaluated the pro-<br />posals positively and highlighted the contributions of developing projects based on the link with non-university actors. Although they referred to the challenges<br />and difficulties involved in this distinctive approach, they valued the opportunity to put their skills into practice. It is hoped that the analysis of these experiences will provide useful elements for the development of more proposals that integrate active learning, the development of soft skills and community collaboration in engineering education.</p> Ximena Otegui, Karina Curion Copyright (c) 2023 Ximena Otegui, Karina Curion https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1954 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Using the phases of the Solt approach in a Physics remote Laboratory Innovation https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1960 <p>The systematization of the innovation process developed in the subject of Experimental Physics, in Engineering careers, is presented. This innovation process responds specifically to the need to massify physics laboratory experiences for first-year engineering students with a low cost of resources. It contemplates the application of three moments of experimentation with synchronous and asynchronous digital support. Various cognitive activities are implemented, including: Plenary discussion of experiences in the production of knowledge, video analysis, and experiment development. These activities make it possible to strengthen the students' ability to understand the phases of the physical phenomena modeling cycle. Through the Solt approach, it was possible to systematize the initial design in light of the implementation carried out in 2020.<br />First-year students from three sections of Experimental Physics of the Universidad Andrés Bello, in Chile, were considered as a sample for this study.<br />The strengths and aspects of improvement necessary in the implementation of a remote laboratory model considering experiential learning are described.</p> Carlos Pineida Guzmán, Emilio Castro-Navarro, Eduardo Carrasco Henríquez, Janeth Valecillos Pereira, Francisco Jofré, Jarnishs Beltrán Copyright (c) 2023 Carlos Pineida Guzmán, Emilio Castro-Navarro, Eduardo Carrasco Henríquez, Janeth Valecillos Pereira, Francisco Jofré, Jarnishs Beltrán https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1960 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Challenges and opportunities for transformation. Keys that guide shared construction in higher education https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1963 <p>Current contexts challenge higher education, where the configuration of bridge disciplines contributes to shared construction to address issues and problems. The encounter between the fields of health and of education<br />constitutes an emblematic case of the relationship between disciplinary fields. It is about identifying reasons why it is difficult to transfer knowledge in problem-solving with subjects from different disciplines. This article, arising<br />from a doctoral research, aims to share the construction of theoretical categories whose scope is not limited to a single level of education, but reveals advancing dimensions of analysis. Substance conversation, educational inclusion and its polysemy, content, linkage between fields of knowledge, challenge the unprecedented. Historical traces, the pedagogical dimension of the health field, and the transformation of subjects favor new encounters between subjects and disciplines. We explore contributions from other disciplinary fields and interview with experts to contribute to the contrast, in order to promote an<br />institutional space for continuous education, research, and reinvention.</p> Claudia Probe Copyright (c) 2023 Claudia Probe https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1963 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 A systematized experience of SoTL implementation https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1986 <p>Although the literature has demonstrated the value of SoTL, it is necessary to advance towards guidelines on how to carry it out. Therefore, a systematized experience of SoTL implementation in the context of a professional learning community is presented. The experience is based on three<br />pillars: motivation, collaboration and inter-discipline; and contemplates four stages -planning, execution, evaluation and reflection- that are continuously complexified and enriched. The results of the systematized experience are<br />translated into participation in academic meetings and publications in collective journals and books. It is concluded that SoTL's contributions are unquestionable in the field of higher education and that the systematization of the experience presented allows the identification of clear differentiated stages, concrete and deployed activities with ascending levels of complexity. This could contribute<br />to guiding the work of those who start or want to advance in the adoption of SoTL. In any case, the proposal constitutes a first approximation subject to revision and improvement, so that its suitability and consistency will have to be validated and tested.</p> Maribel Veas Alfaro, Carmen Gloria Covarrubias Apablaza , Israel González Marino Copyright (c) 2023 Maribel Veas Alfaro, Carmen Gloria Covarrubias Apablaza , Israel González Marino https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1986 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Electoral effervescence on a bus: didactic strategy of student journalistic coverage in real time https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1987 <p>Didactic strategy of journalistic coverage carried out in the electoral processes of Costa Rica in 2022, which consisted of the design and application of two tours on a bus, called Electoral Caravan ECCC CR 2022.

This training must be adapted to the context of each educational institution and to the rapid evolution of technologies that can be used to support academic processes. In this context, it is important to have proper<br />structures within the educational institution, such as the so-called Teaching and Learning Centers (TLCs), which are pillars of innovation, support teacher training, serve as spaces for experimentation and guide teachers in redefining their courses and generating the corresponding content. This article presents the work carried out for more than three years to build TLCs in Latin American universities, taking two universities in Guatemala and two in Colombia as examples. As part of this process, a Cooperation Network has also been created in relation to TLCs in Latin America to share contents and training actions and to serve as an observatory of trends in educational innovation.</p> Carlos Alario-Hoyos, Carlos Delgado Kloos, Miguel Morales, Héctor Amado, Rocael Hernández, Mar Pérez-Sanagustín, António Teixeira, Mario Solarte, Astrid Helena González , Karla Valdez Copyright (c) 2023 Carlos Alario-Hoyos, Carlos Delgado Kloos, Miguel Morales, Héctor Amado, Rocael Hernández, Mar Pérez-Sanagustín, António Teixeira, Mario Solarte, Astrid Helena González , Karla Valdez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1989 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Teaching innovations in STEM careers: Centers for teaching and learning in co-creation of value https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1990 <p>This research aims to estimate the impact of a model based on concourses for managing teaching innovations, facilitated by a center for teaching and learning in the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Chile.

Through evaluations, an institution can demonstrate its level of quality. But evaluating is a complex task since there are<br />several instruments and informants. In addition, it is necessary to know how and for what to evaluate. In this work we seek to verify the existence of an evaluative culture in a University Center in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil,<br />working with the self-evaluation or internal evaluation instrument.

That is why we consider it particularly relevant and a significant contribution to present a systematization and reflection on the work carriedout by the Directorate of Curricular and Teaching Development (DDCD) and the Gender Department (DG) of the Diego Portales University (UDP). In this work, we seek to describe, analyze, and characterize advances and challenges arising from the processes of incorporating a gender perspective (GP) into the curricular development of 21 undergraduate programs in the period 2019-2023. The findings from this period are valuable for those involved in these processes as they allow for anticipation of the effects and limitations of their own interventions, thereby enriching not only the diagnostic work and reflection for Curricular Innovation with GPs but also the specific support needed to carry out this challenging task.</p> Mariana Gaba, Carla Gajardo Poblete, Nicole Murillo Núñez Copyright (c) 2023 Mariana Gaba, Carla Gajardo Poblete, Nicole Murillo Núñez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1998 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Modelling the Institutional Didactic Choreography of the Diagnosis Processes for Undergraduate Curricular Innovation https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/1999 <p>Ensuring the relevance of Higher Education (HE) in the context of the knowledge society requires transforming the way undergraduate curricula are constructed. Curricular innovation (CI) involves changes in the curricular structure, which must be continuously monitored through deliberation and participatory co-construction from an epistemic perspective. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the modeling of an institutional didactic choreography of the diagnosis for CI in 8 undergraduate programs, which encompassed four stages:<br />Anticipation, Internal Choreography, External Choreography, and Product. In each of the four stages, at least three monthly working sessions were held, in-<br />volving the management teams, faculty, students, alumni, and external experts.</p> <p>During these sessions, collaborative analysis and sharing of strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats of the current curriculum were conducted. This modeling allows for collective decision-making in the development of reliable and responsive curricular products, thereby reducing the challenges associated with curriculum redesign implementation. Similarly, working through a participatory process helps moderate resistance to change and foster a sense of belong ing to the educational project, as there is a positive appreciation for expanding levels of participation in decision-making.</p> Carla Gajardo Poblete, M.

For this purpose, it is intended that this research be oriented from a preliminary phase of characterization of students and teachers<br />around knowledge, competencies, and digital skills that allow to demonstrate the technical, operational, and technological capacities to be able to carry out the<br />design and implementation, for which the development of a first phase from which it is obtained is proposed; the state of the art, a diagnosis of needs and technical characterization. These inputs will allow the development of a preliminary design with which a pilot can be carried out and through this strengthen what has been advanced with a view to a definitive design. Due to the above, it<br />is understood that a mixed type of research is proposed that will use instruments for the collection of qualitative and quantitative information applied to a popula-<br />tion of 1000 students and 100 teachers. Preliminary results show that said population, at least from a technical and technological point of view, has the minimum conditions for future implementation, but there are some difficulties to consider.</p> Camilo J.

In this scenario, the present study is a qualitative research whose objective is to know the beliefs about teaching and learning held by first-year student teachers. The data collection technique was based on autobiographical narratives and interviews with students of Basic Pedagogy, English and Kindergarten Education at a private university in Santiago de Chile.<br />Subsequently, a biographical-narrative approach was used to analyze their pre-training trajectories, revealing the situated development of existing beliefs already in the first year of entry to the pedagogical training programs. The results show a direct influence of the school trajectory<br />on the formation of beliefs and the configuration of their teaching identity. Based on this, it is proposed to strengthen the narration and analysis of these previous experiences as a strategy for knowledge and modification of beliefs in initial training.</p> Claudio Sanhueza Mansilla, Ingrid Estay Rojas, Valentina Herrera González Copyright (c) 2023 Claudio Sanhueza Mansilla, Ingrid Estay Rojas, Valentina Herrera González https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2016 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Hyflex use and its implications in higher education between 2014-2022: A Systematic Literature Review https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2017 <p>This article presents a systematic literature review to identify the characteristics, benefits, and difficulties of using HyFlex in higher education, between 2014 and 2022.

The study starts from the objective: to propose the scientific<br />article as an alternative to graduation either in undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The documentary research method has been used considering the contribution of eight universities in Latin America and the diversity of proposals to graduate in undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The study has been comple-<br />mented with the narrative-biographical method, which includes the scientific contribution of: Koch, Pasteur, Kohlberg, Vygotsky, Piaget, Freud, Newton, Fa-<br />raday, Darwin, Freudenberger, Maslach, Diamon and Broock. The synergy of the documentary investigative method with the narrative-biographical allows to eva-<br />luate the validity of the scientific article as an instrument of scientific dissemination.

PM is based on the analysis of the genome to detect mutations in actionable genes and/or the application of specific pharmacogenetic tests, in order to generate specific treatments (personalized medicine), more effective, with less toxicity and safer, as opposed to conventional treatments aimed at the average patient. PM has been developed in the last two decades, mainly in the USA, Europe and recently in Asia. However, in several of these<br />countries, PM is still in the implementation stage, both at the level of health care providers and health insurance companies. One of the most relevant challenges is to have trained professionals with specific training for the application of diagnostic tests, their interpretation and application in the design of specific treatments and for the follow-up and care of patients. This paper analyzes a series of quantitative and qualitative studies developed in the last decade, where the importance and relevance of the formal inclusion of the teaching of precision medicine in the curricula of health careers and for the training of practicing professionals is reflected.</p> Mario Galindo Galindo, Mónica Ramírez , Baltazar Jana, Solange Soto, Valeria Sabaj Copyright (c) 2023 Mario Galindo Galindo, Mónica Ramírez , Baltazar Jana, Solange Soto, Valeria Sabaj https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2072 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Transit towards quality in times of crisis.

With that objective in mind, an investigation with a multi-methodological focus was carried out. The main outcome of this investigation is a three part didactic proposal that will help to teach future lawyers how to write the Lawsuit genre. This proposal has the advantage of being based off empirical research on Judicial genres, as well as being developed by an interdisciplinary team with experience in teaching Law students.<br />Moreover, this proposal can also be considered useful for further training of lawyers that are already practicing. Finally, it is a flexible proposal, since it can be customized for its use with other types of texts from the Judicial genre. The main limitation of this proposal is that it has not been<br />implemented yet. However, implementation is meant to be carried out in future stages of the study. In regard of future research, it is expected that this proposal can be adapted to other genres.</p> Paulina Meza, Felipe González Catalán Copyright (c) 2023 Paulina Meza, Felipe González Catalán https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2077 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Teacher collaboration and review of evaluative practices https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2079 <p>The complexity from the pandemic reveals limitations of higher education and accelerates rethinking about practices and their transformation. The evaluation of<br />learning becomes central since the accreditation processes put pressure on the practices themselves. Faced with the challenge of adapting the evaluation to the new context, within an inclusive framework and democratization of knowledge, teachers meet to share experiences and instruments, questioning their own evaluations and adapting and adopting solutions from colleagues. A proposal for virtual workshops developed between 2020 and 2022 encouraged collaborative analysis, production, peer evaluation, and reflection on evaluation practices at six national universities in Argentina. The workshops promoted enriched proposals among peers. The instruments were reviewed from the relevance to the purposes, the clarity in the formulation of slogans, the cognitive challenges demanded and the agreement to be built around assessment criteria. The monitoring offered by<br />the pedagogical advice made it possible to question what was given, calm the immediacy produced by the criticality of acting and promote improvements throughout the workshops. The technologies enrich the evaluative proposals so that they have an inclusive sense and the democratization of knowledge.</p> Marilina Lipsman, Constanza Necuzzi, Marina Thiery Copyright (c) 2023 Marilina Lipsman, Constanza Necuzzi, Marina Thiery https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2079 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Learning Ecosystem for Teaching Innovation https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2081 <p>Teaching Development Centers must promote innovation processes in the classroom, for which they carry out various actions.

Universities should assume their role<br />as knowledge producers and contribute to the welfare of communities. In this context, educational innovation presents an opportunity to address these issues<br />and promote student learning. To achieve this, institutions must propose models to promote, manage and evaluate educational innovation processes. This article identifies nine factors that influence the design and execution of projects with innovative potential and presents a measurement instrument to evaluate them<br />from the teacher's experience. The instrument is internally validated and applied to a group of 40 participants. The statistical analysis of the results identifies<br />significant factors and relationships, emphasizing the importance of promoting innovation adaptation in diverse contexts, democratizing its access, and ensuring<br />the inclusion of students from diverse profiles. In addition, it is important to note that these factors show a strong interdependence, which suggests that effective<br />management of educational innovation fosters synergies between factors that strengthen it and make its impact more effective.</p> María Isabel Ramírez-Garzón, Ricardo Abad Barros-Castro Copyright (c) 2023 María Isabel Ramírez-Garzón, Ricardo Abad Barros-Castro https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2082 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0300 Teaching Innovation through the Laboratory of Teach- ing Experiences: An Initiative of the Catholic University of the Most Holy Conception https://revistas.userena.cl/index.php/codes/article/view/2083 <p>Educational innovation is essential for the development of higher education in the digital era.
