Study and work in times of pandemic, how do university students solve technological-digital situations?

After the declaration of a health contingency by the WHO and the Mexican government, the university community took refuge in their homes, waiting to return to face-to-face classes. As the confinement dates lengthen, online educational interactions are hampered because students’ manifest problems related to the internet and technological-digital resources, since now they must be shared with relatives who are also in confinement; In addition, some students work online, which complicates the situation in which they live, study and work. Although learning is involved in these situations, it is not addressed in the present study; The results provide elements that lead to lines of research where, from the student perspective, the role of the teaching-learning process, academic performance and learning are reviewed, as well as the relationship between education and online work. In this context, the proposal of the study is exploratory, quantitative, and longitudinal; The sample is for convenience and 31 (August 2020) and subsequently 28 students (March 2021) voluntarily participated. The objective is to explore the conditions in which undergraduate students solve socio-educational-labor situations with the use of technological-digital resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparative study of learning styles of college students

Diagnóstico de conocimientos previos sobre la parábola en estudiantes universitarios

The purpose of this work was to diagnose previous knowledge of the parabola in freshmen at a university through the conceptual framework of Duval's semiotic representations, in order to develop a didactic proposal that improves their learning. For this purpose, an instrument was designed to assess whether a student understands the main characteristics of the parabola in its various representations, as well as the ability to perform conversions between verbal, algebraic and graphic registers. It was applied to a sample of 55 engineering freshmen before receiving instruction on the topic. It was found that the most difficult treatment activities were the graphic and algebraic records, while in the Conversion activities the lowest performance was observed from the graphic to the algebraic and from the verbal to the graphic. On the other hand, the Treatment activities in the verbal register, and the conversions from the graphic to the verbal, from the algebraic to the graphic and from the verbal to the algebraic were found to be strengths. Therefore, students' prior knowledge of the parabola was diagnosed which will contribute to support a didactic proposal aimed at improving the learning of this topic.

La modalidad mixta una alternativa de continuidad de estudios para egresados inmersos en el campo laboral

The mixed methodology (Blended Learning) seeks to implement the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to provide studies of Technological Higher Education to people who are immersed in the labor market.

Modelo didáctico para matemáticas básicas en el programa de ingeniería química

The problems of learning mathematics are a particularly important field in the educational relationship. In the degree of any engineering and specifically in Chemical Engineering (IQ) requires a series of mathematical skills for learning and problem solving. By virtue of having made a revision on the indices of failure in the educational experiences of the IQ program, it was detected that the highest values were precisely the basic mathematics, this led to propose the solution proposing a change in the teaching with the objective of improve learning and with it, reduce failure rates from the use of a didactic model. The didactic model is based on 3 stages that include bibliographic, documentary and statistical information, for the intervention part, framed within the quantitative field research modality of descriptive type, with characteristics of participant observation. When implemented, it allowed to observe some significant changes in reference to the habits of study and attitude that the students present before the mathematics and on the styles adopted by the professors for this chair, with which finally it was evaluated concluding that it effectively improves the indexes of approval and meaningful learning.

Profesionalización docente en el nivel superior, bajo el enfoque de competencias

This paper deals with a partial study that is being carried out on teaching strategies that are used in the teaching practice of some institutions of higher education, which work under the competence approach. Likewise, an analysis is made of the basic competences that teachers must possess to work on any subject of the curricular maps established at a higher level under this same approach.
