El aparato metodológico usado fue la propuesta etnografía transmedia. En la primera etapa del estudio se da cuenta de diversas formas de participación de jóvenes y concepciones sobre lo político y lo democrático. Se desarrolla una herramienta de diagnóstico gamificada que entrega como resultado datos sobre la descripción de la muestra en cuanto a posturas diversas de los jóvenes frente al ejercicio de la política y la toma de decisiones.

El estudio que se presenta tiene por objetivo establecer causales de deserción estudiantil que evidencien diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a sus niveles de presentación, para de esta forma lograr caracterizar las causales que ponen en riesgo la permanencia de los estudiantes matriculados desde el año 2013, con seguimiento hasta 2016, en la Universidad de Atacama. Con un total de 819 estudiantes que no renovaron su matrícula, el estudio consideró una muestra de 326 estudiantes de quienes se cuenta con información específica, y, utilizando un método mixto, se realizó un análisis estadístico que dio cuenta de las siguientes causales que influyen en la deserción de los alumnos: el Rendimiento Académico, estadísticamente significativo y sobresaliente entre todas las demás variables consideradas; aparecen también problemas económicos, personales y de salud. Se destaca la no renovación de matrícula como cuestión incidente sobre la problemática tratada. El análisis de esta primera investigación nos determina los factores que intervienen en la problemática de la deserción universitaria y con ello nos permite establecer causales, además de su jerarquización para luego determinar que efectivamente existe un problema o causal dentro del abandono de los estudiantes de sus carreras universitarias y con ello establecer el diseño de una propuesta que ayude en la mejora progresiva de los tópicos que causan la deserción en los estudiantes universitarios.

RESUMEN El estudio tiene como objetivo obtener una descripción diferenciada por género en un contexto universitario, acerca del uso y consumo de aplicaciones y/o servicios a través de Internet. El trabajo de análisis se aborda desde una metodología mixta con análisis descriptivo y cuantitativo. En primer lugar, se utilizan técnicas estadísticas para el análisis exploratorio de los datos, y posteriormente se generan modelos de clustering que permiten complementar la descripción del conjunto de datos sobre el objeto de estudio. Para esto, se toma como base el resultado de la encuesta basada en la primera dimensión del instrumento llamado Competencias Básicas Digitales (COBADI), en los aspectos preliminares que tienen relación con: tenencia de las TICs necesarias, el lugar y tipo de conexión, así como el uso y consumo de aplicaciones y/o servicios, para acceder a través de Internet. Los resultados muestran que tanto mujeres y hombres orientan el uso y consumo de las TICs, de manera diferente para sus actividades tanto personales como académicas. El estudio logra concluir que este análisis por género, permite establecer una línea base para poder profundizar posteriormente, en el desarrollo de las competencias digitales necesarias actualmente, que deben desarrollar estudiantes universitarios.

The aim was to test the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the PIL-SF in a sample of people from seven Latin American countries. Additionally, the characteristics of the PIL-SF items were evaluated and to assess the relationship between purpose in life, as measured by the PIL-SF, and fear of COVID-19. A total of 4306 people from seven Latin American countries participated in the study. The results indicated that the PIL-SF is invariant in the seven participating countries and, therefore, there is evidence that the items reflect the purpose of life in the same way in all countries. This allows comparisons of purpose in life between countries that are free of bias, reflecting the true differences in how countries respond to items. From IRT, the discrimination parameters are adequate and indicate that the items cover a wide range of the purpose in life construct. The difficulty parameters are adequate and increase monotonically. This indicates that people would need a higher level of purpose in life to respond to the higher response categories. Thus, the PIL-SF items would be useful in determining people with a relatively high degree of purpose in life. Identifying people with different levels of purpose in life would allow them to be part of intervention programs, either to support those with low levels or to maintain and reinforce their purpose in life. The evidence of cross-country measurement invariance of the PIL-SF provides a measure to be used in cross-cultural studies about the meaning of life.

The objective was to evaluate the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) in 7 Latin American countries (Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay). The participants were 2944 people, selected through non-probability sampling for convenience, where the majority were women. Data collection occurred between 12 June and 14 September 2020. The results indicated that the model with two related factors presents a better fit to the data and has partial scalar invariance among the 7 countries. Differences in emotional and physiological reactions were observed between the countries.

The Purpose in Life Test (PIL) is a measure of purpose in life widely used in many cultures and countries; however, cross-cultural assessments are scarce. The present study aimed to evaluate the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the PIL in the general population of seven Latin American countries (Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay). A total of 4306 people participated, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling, where Uruguay has the highest mean age (M = 41.8; SD = 16.6 years); while Ecuador has the lowest mean age (M = 24.6; SD = 7.8 years). Furthermore, in each country, there is a higher proportion of women (>60%) than men (

The health context related to the COVID-19 virus has implied challenges for various areas in which the educational sphere stands out. Preventive measures of social distancing and quarantine have led to classes being given virtually (online), and in this scenario research is emerging that focuses on the educational challenges of teachers. The DIFPRORET project, educational difficulties, activities and challenges in confinement is applied to a sample of 200 teachers, with a qualitative method and methodological strategy of content analysis. The findings show the difficulty in the use of platforms, understanding of distance education, creative action and the generation gap with 64.26%. With this, a hierarchical map is expressed that gives account of three significant constructs: didactic operation, progressive learning and curricular innovation, which allows us to conclude that under these constructs translate the perceptions of teachers on educational challenges. Keywords: Digital strategy, COVID-19.

espanolLa inclusion de novedosas tecnologias digitales en el mundo universitario requiere el analisis de sus ventajas e inconvenientes. Tanto para su empleo didactico en la busqueda de alcanzar distintos objetivos formativos como para el desarrollo de competencias digitales en el alumnado es necesario establecer experiencias que nos permitan obtener informacion para su correcto uso. Es el objetivo principal de esta investigacion, que se fundamenta en un trabajo de campo inmersivo con realidad aumentada (RA) que tuvo como muestra a estudiantes universitarios a lo largo de dos cursos academicos. La metodologia empleada en este trabajo exploratorio es descriptiva y cualitativa, para el que se han usado diferentes aplicaciones de RA. Como resultado principal se ha podido determinar que la integracion de estas apps contribuye de manera significativa a la mejora de la competencia digital de los estudiantes universitarios a la vez que potencia la motivacion en el aprendizaje. Sin embargo, se presenta como inconveniente principal su escasa presencia en las aulas y la necesidad de una formacion previa del profesorado en su correcto empleo. EnglishThe inclusion of new digital technologies at university requires an analysis of their advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to establish experiences from two perspectives: didactic use to achieve different training objectives and the development of digital competences in students, and to allow them to obtain information for their correct employment. This research is based on immersive fieldwork with Augmented Reality (AR) through a sample of university students over two academic years. The methodology used in this exploratory work is descriptive and qualitative, for which different AR applications have been used. As a main result, it has been determined that the integration of these apps contributes significantly to the improvement of digital competence of university students while enhancing motivation in learning. However, the main drawback comes from its low presence in the classroom and the need for training of teachers

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Scale of Fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S) in a sample of 1,291 Argentines. The two-related factor structure of the FCV-19S had satisfactory goodness-of-fit indices using structural equation modeling and item response theory. Further results showed that the reliability was adequate, the factor structure was strictly invariable across age groups, and the model that evaluated the relationships between fear of COVID-19, anxiety, and depression had adequate goodness of fit indices as well. The results indicated that FCV-19S has strong psychometric properties to measure fear of COVID-19 in the general population of Argentina. Fil: Caycho Rodríguez, Tomás.

El contexto sanitario relacionado con el virus COVID-19 ha implicado desafíos para diversas áreas, en particular, uno de los ámbitos con mayor impacto ha sido el educativo. El proyecto de investigación denominado "DIFPRORET" ha abordado el análisis de las ventajas y desventajas que el impacto de este virus ha tenido en el mundo educativo. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la percepción de 112 sujetos sobre el uso de plataformas digitales a través de tres preguntas: las dificultades educativas encontradas en el periodo de confinamiento, los principales retos que debemos superar para abordar la educación en periodos de confinamiento y cuáles serían las propuestas de mejora más relevantes en estas circunstancias. La metodología se abordó desde el análisis multivariado: escalamiento multidimensional y conglomerados jerárquicos. Se observó que dos de las principales dificultades educativas son la organización del tiempo y la preparación de actividades en contextos de confinamiento. En este sentido, las propuestas apuntan a distintos niveles: la mejora de las competencias individuales del estudiante-profesor, el acceso a recursos informáticos y la inversión para paliar la desigualdad social., The health context related to the COVID-19 virus has implied challenges for several areas, among them the educational field stands out. The research project known as DIFPRORET covered various educational challenges; however, in this specific article, the aim is to analyze the perception of 112 people about the use of digital platforms through three questions: the educational difficulties encountered in the period of confinement, the main challenges we must overcome to address education in periods of confinement, and what are the most relevant proposals made by the subjects in this period. For the analysis of the questions, multivariate analyses were employed: multidimensional scaling and hierarchical clusters. It was observed that two of the main educational difficulties are the organization of time and the preparation of activities in confined contexts. Nevertheless, the proposals point to different levels that go from individual competences of the student-teacher to the society, with the discussion on the access to resources. This corresponds to a broader dimension such as social inequality., Universidad Pablo de Olavide

Based on the Chilean reality about the Free Education Policy (2016), the article presents a study that addresses the reception sustained by higher education institutions regarding the mechanisms of application and control of the policy; taking as a sample the group of students at the University of Atacama with the benefit on the year 2018. The quantitative data analysis is carried out considering the faculties and careers, the route of entry of the students, type of establishment of origin, and academic's entry factors. It is concluded that without evaluation and monitoring mechanisms this benefit could become an item of the higher education budget without fruitful results for the country. Regarding the result, it is established that in the sample analyzed, students who enter by regular route or University Selection Test (PSU), the score range obtained in Middle School Grades (NEM), is lower than the PSU and Ranking scores, so it does not influence significantly as an academic income factor. This means that for a student with the benefit prevails the PSU score, independent where he has completed his secondary education, and to which career he enters., Basado en la realidad Chilena sobre política de educación gratuita (2016), el artículo presenta un estudio que aborda la recepción sostenida por las instituciones de educación superior con respecto a mecanismos de aplicación y control de la política; tomando como muestra al grupo de estudiantes de la Universidad de Atacama con el beneficio en el año 2018. El análisis cuantitativo de los datos se realiza considerando las facultades y carreras, la vía de ingreso de los estudiantes, el tipo de establecimiento de origen y los académicos. factores de entrada Se concluye que sin mecanismos de evaluación y monitoreo, este beneficio podría convertirse en una partida del presupuesto de educación superior sin resultados fructíferos para el país. Con respecto al resultado, se establece que en la muestra analizada, los estudiantes que ingresan por vía regular o Prueba de Selección Universitaria (PSU), el rango de puntaje obtenido en los Grados de la Escuela Secundaria (NEM), es más bajo que los puntajes de PSU y Clasificación, por lo que no influye significativamente como factor de ingreso académico, esto significa que para un estudiante con el beneficio de gratuidad prevalece el puntaje PSU., Universidad Pablo de Olavide

La medida de distanciamiento fisico y social fue clave en el control de la pandemia por COVID-19 y requirio de los medios de comunicacion masivos para su difusion. Este estudio descriptivo, basado en metodologia cualitativa y analisis de contenido, tuvo el proposito de interpretar mensajes sobre dicha medida publicados al inicio de la pandemia en medios de comunicacion masiva en Chile. Se considero 63 noticias obtenidas en medios formales en internet en el periodo de abril y mayo de 2020. Del analisis emergieron las siguientes categorias tematicas: estrategia de distanciamiento social y fisico, consecuencias en la poblacion, mensajes y voces expertas, importancia de las determinantes sociales, e importancia de los canales de comunicacion digital en un entorno fisico restringido. Los hallazgos indican que los medios de comunicacion formales tuvieron un rol fundamental en la divulgacion de informacion experta basada en evidencia cientifica confiable, en la interpelacion civica de los ciudadanos, y en denunciar los problemas de salud, entre ellos, el deterioro de la salud mental de la poblacion. Se expuso, ademas, la capacidad de las personas para adaptarse a los medios digitales para socializar, e incipientemente resaltan aspectos de las determinantes socioculturales que afectan la percepcion de riesgo de la poblacion.

This research aims to learn about the perception about didactics of professors who teach English in the study programs of Bachelor of Education and English Pedagogy, and Bachelor of English and English-Spanish Translation at the University of Atacama, Copiapo, Chile. For this, a qualitative pilot research was conducted, using the case study approach and the associative letters method for data collection, using as an inductive concept ‘didactics of the English language’. This, in order to gather information about didactics in English teaching, given through the four production and comprehension language skills: writing, reading, speaking and listening. The first findings show a lack of innovation in the field of teaching and unawareness of it. Within the data of the pilot sample, the concepts ‘skills’ and ‘methodology’ stand out as central elements in the English Language Teaching didactics. From this small pilot research, the idea of the importance of communication and methodology as key concepts to be included in the next investigation is reinforced, so that the data collection is meaningful, and a close intervention could be achieved, where the teachers reflect on the didactics used in a more comprehensive and less recursive way. Keywords: Didactics, higher education, innovation, language teaching, second foreign language.

The case study of the Elementary Education Pedagogy program, practical axis of the University of Atacama, Copiapó, Chile (UDA), sought to generate the theoretical-methodological category Didactic Operation, as a possibility of improvement in the processes given in the practical-procedural dimension of the curriculum. The subjects of the research were seven academics related to professional training processes. The assumption that was handled is that only the curricular problem of the practical-procedural dimension of the curriculum can be approached in its complexity with analytical devices that provide the curricular adaptations of conceptual-theoretical support possible to be mediated by the subject and implemented in the classroom. With this, the presentation is organized in three moments. In the first moment, the context of the program is described, then the category Creative Action in triangulation is alluded to with the information collected from group discussion interviews. It concludes with the field of Didactic Operation. Keywords: creative action, didactic operation, professional practice, didactics.

This paper examines the relationships established between the fields of history of psychology, and science, technology and society studies (STS). We first present a brief historical overview to situate the present status of the field of psychology within the broad STS arena. We then describe the influence of STS studies in the field of history of psychology through a literature review that emphasizes Ibero-American productions in these areas. Our findings suggest that STS studies can contribute to the understanding the historical issues in psychology through seven areas of intersecting sociological and historical research, which involve the study of psychological objects, the history of psychological instrumentation, the historical analysis of psychology as a discipline and the study of psychology teaching and education, among others. The paper concludes that STS studies play an important role in advancing the production of historical knowledge, shedding light on the conceptual frameworks used in historical research, clarifying historical inquires, and assisting in the process to define psychological epistemic objects.

The pandemic context in the world has implied a curricular change in higher education institutions globally, impacting the management and operationalization of teaching in an accelerated way. Given this, it’s relevant to consider the perception of university professors about the impact of the pandemic context on the didactic operation generated, because this can contribute to the understanding of the ways in which the curriculum is adapted in an artisanal way in this online modality that it has been necessary to carry out. For this study, a quantitative methodology is used, and the IOP20 questionnaire is used as a methodological data collection strategy, which establishes 4 dimensions, on which it is necessary to analyze the results. The method used to analyze the data is quantitative and descriptive, statistical methods and clustering techniques are used. With the results obtained, it is possible to clearly establish the perception of university professors in a very favorable way, about the importance of attending to what is related to didactic innovation in this teaching-learning process in the current situation.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a global health crisis. The scientific community has responded with a sizable level of research and publications, many of which are beginning to be identified and analyzed in systematic reviews of the literature and bibliometric studies. No readily identifiable, comparable study focused on Latin American scientific literature has been undertaken thus far. Therefore, this article analyzes such literature, focused on COVID-19, and one that has been published in the scientific journals of the region. A search with the keyword “COVID-19” in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) database resulted in the identification of 261 documents. Following PRISMA guidelines, the total number was reduced to 117 for the purpose of the bibliometric analysis (i.e., elimination of preprint duplicates). Such analysis resulted in the following findings: 69 publications were editorial or individual commentaries, and 48 were original articles. The male authors totaled 280, contrasted with 169 female authors. Two Brazilian journals led in the number of publications: Cadernos de Saúde Pública and Clinics. Even though the Latin American scientific productivity regarding COVID-19 is not well represented in the different databases of the region, it is expected that these scientific publications will achieve increased visibility in the coming months. The article emphasizes the importance of systematic and bibliographic reviews ofthe scientific literature in Latin America in orderto evaluate the public health achievements of the region.

The concept of e-learning is a technology-mediated learning approach of great potential from the educational perspective and it has been one of the main research lines of Educational Technology in the last decades. The aim of the present systematic literature review (SLR) was to identify (a) the research topics; (b) the most relevant theories; (c) the most researched modalities; and (d) the research methodologies used. To this end, the PRISMA protocol was followed, and different tools were used for the bibliographic management and text-mining. The literature selection was carried out in three first-quartile journals indexed in JCR-SSCI specialized in Educational Technology. A total of 248 articles composed the final sample. The analysis of the texts identified three main nodes: (a) online students; (b) online teachers; and (c) curriculum-interactive learning environments. It was revealed that MOOC was the most researched e-learning modality. The Community of Inquiry and the Technological Acceptance Model, were the most used theories in the analyzed studies. The most frequent methodology was case study. Finally, the conclusions regarding the objectives of our SRL are presented: Main themes and research sub-themes, most researched e-learning modality, most relevant theoretical frameworks on e-learning, and typologies of research methodologies.

The progress of the curriculum redesign process promoted by the University of Atacama (UDA) is presented, through the Academic Vice Rectory and operationalized by the Center for Teaching Improvement. This process has been organized with a systematic approach defined to carry out curricular innovation with a competence-based approach, guided by its Educational Model (Universidad de Atacama, 2007). This understanding shows a significant first step materialized in the mechanism of achievement of the graduate profile of which we will explain the structure, the systemic approach and the possibility of implementation through participatory strategies. It is argued that from this proposal, a change in the logic of curricular implementations and evaluations is sought at a higher level, to incorporate into the task the inclusive view regarding historicity, of the contexts in which guidelines for a sustained change that aims for quality.

El estudio que presentamos tuvo por objetivo conocer la representaciòn que circula y emerge de profesores- acadèmicos de la Universidad de Atacama sobre el Vínculo Curriculum- Sociedad. Para ello en coherencia con el enfoque cualitativo, en este estudio de caso se recogió información a través de una entrevista semiestructurada y se analizó el tejido del discurso a través del proceso de análisis del discurso educativo (ADE). Se usó además la estrategia de la conversación y revisión documental de referentes empíricos. Se llegó a comprender y concluir que el Vínculo Curriculum-Sociedad debe ser situado en el centro de la discusión pedagógica y educativa de los sujetos curriculares de dicha institución, se destaca entre los hallazgos: poca relevancia a la presencia del Vínculo Cuirriculum- Sociedad; lo que se plasma en la organización curricular y desencadena problemas importantes en la formación y educación que se entrega, esto da cuenta de una baja articulación del contexto y sus demandas con el currículum de la Universidad.
