The Individual

Satisfaction is determined by a set of external and internal factors of the individual, experiences, culture and the environment; it changes with goals and achievements. Here I analyze the results of an online survey of 1000 institutional email users from a public university in Costa Rica. Men are more satis ed with life in general and single, widowed or divorced people are less satis ed than those living with a partner. The greatest satisfaction is associated with tenure, being over 31 years old and having a high academic degree. Overall satisfaction is medium-high which is consistent with other local studies.

Laboratory Results

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Costa Rica is no exception, with high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in all age groups, and lack of adherence to treatment as one of the main challenges. We analyze the variation in test results of lipid pro le in one control and one telemedicine group in the staff of a Costa Rican university. We followed 62 patients aged 20-70 years, with tests done after fasting 12 hours, and 6 months to a year between samples. A questionnaire was used to calculate rates of factors that affect the variation in laboratory results. The patients had greater commitment to self care in the telemedicine group, achieving a reduction in total cholesterol levels, with little or no variation in other lipoproteins, and a slight increase in triglyceride levels.

And Performance

Innovative evaluation strategies are necessary in distance education systems, specially in higher levels, in which students are more critical and demanding. The objective of this study was to determine how an innovative evaluative strategy influenced students' motivation and performance in a pilot course (Distance State University, Costa Rica). For this I applied a survey to the 14 students -aged 22 to 45 years- who took the course from 2014 to 2016. Students were highly satisfied with this innovative strategy, since it challenged them into being better professionals, which coincide with similar studies. In 2 practices, out of 4, performance was higher in 2016 than in 2014 and 2015, years where the innovation was not implemented. To improve performance and motivation, I recommend using this strategy in other courses that have practice in pilot plants, and to create a culture in which students receive a more formative evaluation.

Padang State University is a state university that was established in West Sumatra with various faculties including engineering faculties in charge of various departments, one of which is electronics engineering majors consisting of electronics engineering study programs, electronic engineering education programs and informatics and computer engineering education courses . Various assumptions emerged with student admissions from both the regular and independent lane. To answer these assumptions, a study was conducted aimed at looking at a comparison of learning outcomes between regular entry students and regular independent entry pathways through a cumulative grade point average (GPA) which was carried out through hypothesis testing and research prerequisites for data sources obtained from descriptive data on students of educational study programs informatics and computer engineering so that it is known between semester credit (X) with the Grade Point Average (GPA) of significance value 0.409 for regular students and a significance value of 0.258 for independent regular students. It was concluded that there was a Positive and Significant Relationship between Regular students and Independent Selection students Informatics and Computer Engineering Education in 2014-2017 and there were no significant differences in learning outcomes in the January-June 2017 semester, in the form of GPA.Keywords: Student, learning outcomes, comparison, population and sample, hypothesis testing.

ABSTRACTThe Chair of Administration of the State University at Distance, Costa Rica, reflects on the strategies that have had a positive effect on the distance model, with an orientation in the continuous improvement of learning, approval and autonomy of the student body. The analysis for this research covers the year 2014 to 2017. In this period, the strategies applied and examined are the following: the progressive increase of virtuality, the diversification in the evaluation, the teaching resources and the academic development of the teaching staff. The study yields relevant data that were taken from a population of 23 212 enrollments.RESUMENLa Cátedra de Administración de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED), Costa Rica, reflexiona sobre las estrategias que han tenido un efecto positivo en el modelo a distancia, cuya finalidad está orientada a la mejora continua del aprendizaje, la aprobación y la autonomía del estudiantado. El análisis para esta pesquisa es de naturaleza descriptiva, y abarca del año 2014 al 2017. En ese periodo, las estrategias aplicadas y examinadas son las siguientes: el aumento progresivo de la virtualidad en las asignaturas, la diversificación en el modelo de evaluación, la elaboración de recursos didácticos y el desarrollo del perfil académico del profesorado. El estudio arroja datos relevantes que fueron tomados de una población de 23 212 matrículas de estudiantes, de un total de siete asignaturas, las cuales se clasifican en estas modalidades: a distancia, híbridas y virtuales. Se esquematiza el nivel de virtualidad, los modelos de evaluación, los recursos didácticos por asignatura y la evaluación del perfil docente. Los resultados obtenidos permiten el análisis de la efectividad de la aplicación de estas estrategias que fortalecen la metodología de enseñanza y sientan las bases para continuar con esta línea de investigación a corto y a mediano plazo.
