Systemic model of implementation of the blended learning modality in the Social Sciences andEducation careers of the Ecuadorian university, which is argued and constructed from the epistemic referencesof the systemic approach, has the purpose of revealing and socializing the systemic dynamics of the process ofimplementation of the blended learning modality in the Ecuadorian university and its formative logic, conditionedby the essential relationships that occur between the subsystems that comprise it. The methodology used for theconstruction of the model is based on the systemic method and for the analysis of feasibility on the criterion ofusers, who contribute evaluative criteria with scores between good and excellent, which allows to sustain that theproposed model presents a suitable argumentation, a correct structuring, internal logic of cardinal importance thatsatisfies the demands of its implementation in the management of the process of professional formation in thesemipresential modality, guaranteed by an integral fashion of 4 equivalent to good and an integral average of 4.46 equivalent to very good, with a tendency to excellence

IntroductionGeography is the study of the earth's surface as the space withm which thehuman population lives. The internal logic of this study has tended to splitgeography into two parts: physical and human. The identity of physicalgeography is the more discernible part, as it is concerned with the study, overtime, of the characters, processes, and distribution of inanimate phenomenain the space accessible to human beings and their instruments. Humangeography, on the other hand, is not so clearly defined, as it deals with problemswhich are, in the final analysis, multidisciplinary or extradisciplinary incharacter. Thus, although human geography can be consistently defined as thatpart of the social sciences which studies people solely in relation to space andplace, this study can range from synthesizing the relationship between humansocieties and the Earth's surface (in which people-environment relations areemphasized) to that of an all-encompassing coverage of all aspects of geographynot directly concerned with the physical environment.One corollary of such an all-encompassing coverage is the multiplicity ofapproaches in human geography. As geographers probe further into the truthof the human phenomena, be it the interrelationship of people (individuallyor as groups) in their physical or social environment, the spatial and temporaldistribution of human creations, or the organization of society and social processes,and as they draw increasingly from extraneous disciplines in the courseof such probing, it has become more and more obvious that it is now impossibleto forge and maintain a singular human geography.For instance, an economic geographer trying to understand the unequaldistribution of incomes among population groups in different places will be ...

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
