Today we celebrate the presentation of issue 03 of the UISRAEL Scientific Journal, the last of the year 2020. In this publication, our scientific community is very pleased to make available 9 articles and 2 essays of interest, as a result of researches elaborated with high scientific and methodological rigor, contributing significantly to various areas of knowledge.
As in all our publications, the works presented have gone through a process of selection, arbitration, correction and edition that go in correspondence with the lines approved by the Technological University ISRAEL, publisher of our magazine. In addition, this issue offers topics of diverse nature, highlighting the interdisciplinary characteristic of the journal, the presentation of problems that affect our country, and with this, results that face them.
In this sense, the first article, presented by Fernando José Castillo and Alicia Ramírez de Castillo, entitled "The right to peace in the educational environment: a contribution to the measurement of conflicts", aims to model the violent characters of students through a practice of mutual coexistence, dialogue and respect, avoiding discrepancies due to racial, religious, political, social, economic or cultural conflicts. This aggressive behavior almost reaches barbarism due to the inability to live together in peace, with values of solidarity, harmony, cooperation, equity and non-discrimination.
The second article, presented by María de Ángeles Bonilla, Jonathan Patricio Cárdenas, Florcita Janeth Arrellano and Danny Fernando Pérez, is entitled "Interactive methodological strategies for teaching and learning in higher education". This study focuses on analyzing through a documentary bibliographic review the most applied and suggested interactive strategies in higher education. With a qualitative documentary approach, 15 articles have been reviewed, 6 of which caused more impact on the research, in turn, through a contrast matrix, 15 interactive methodological strategies with greater relevance to date were determined.
Carlos Armando Tarira, Hugo Parra Sandoval and Mercedes Delgado González are the authors of the third article "Procesos de enseñanza de la función exponencial. A qualitative approach", which was framed in a case study. The informant was a mathematics teacher in an Ecuadorian educational unit; in general terms, a description of the teaching process was made by linking it to the knowledge quartet model proposed by Rowland et al. (2005).
While the fourth article, presented by Masaquiza Jerez Tupac, Palacios Ocaña Adrián and Moreno Gavilánes Klever and called "Administrative management and budget execution of the zonal coordination of education - Zone 3" focused on determining the level of compliance with the budget item allocated to the Zonal Coordination of Education Zone 3 during 2018, in order to thus guarantee quality education to the community, especially to children and adolescents, who are the direct beneficiaries of this service; For this purpose, the methodology used was based on a quantitative approach, since it was necessary to process information from official documents.
The fifth article, presented by Paco Rubén Alulema and Pablo Israel Amancha, is entitled: "Learning strategies applied to the subject Internal Combustion Engines for the fulfillment of learning achievements". The objective of the research was to establish the relationship between didactic learning strategies and their influence on learning achievements in the subject of Internal Combustion Engines (ICM) of the Antonio Carrillo Moscoso and 12 de noviembre Units of the Píllaro canton - Ecuador. In this sense, it was determined that there is a significant correlation in the use of the methodology with the achievement of student learning.
Armando Castillo Acevedo and Heriberto Núñez Rodríguez present the sixth article: "Teaching Spanish as a mother tongue. Theoretical and methodological presuppositions". In this article they present the theoretical and methodological foundations that support this process and some didactic instruments that will contribute to its improvement. Language teaching should be seen as an integrating process that addresses from the relationship between signifier and signified, to its variation in different contexts, so that the teaching-learning of Spanish as a mother tongue is fruitful, and achieves that bilateral character that a language class of excellence should have.
On the other hand, the seventh article, presented by: Lady Andrea León, Amparo Marisol Matailo, Aida Andreina Romero and Cecilia Alexandra Portalanza is entitled "Ecuador: Banana, coffee and cocoa production by zones and its economic impact 2013-2016", this work consists of identifying the zoning of greater production of Banana, Coffee and Cocoa and its economic impact in Ecuador. Zonal planning is a management model with development proposals for different sectors, mainly the productive one due to the binding effect, allowing the decentralization of functions and the specialization of areas of influence for the respective territorial strengthening.
"Labor harassment or mobbing as a causal element of labor accidents" is the title of the eighth article. Its author, Juan Gerardo Ávila Urdaneta, presents an analysis of the influence of mobbing as a causal element of occupational accidents, highlighting the existing problem in the development of psychosocial risks that affect workers emotionally, physically and psychologically nowadays. For this purpose, different expert authors were analyzed, as well as the legal norms of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Lopcymat, its regulations, the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, the Ecuadorian Labor Code and the Ecuadorian Penal Code.
In turn, Stephanie Delgado Estrada, Diana Villavicencio Chancay and Karen Hernández Ludeña present "Accreditation and organizational results: the case of the University of Guayaquil", which, as its title indicates, is a case study. Among the most relevant results of this research is the improvement in the academic and research areas, going from a low teaching staff and zero scientific production to teachers with entry by merit-based competition and greater scientific and regional publication, respectively. In addition, it shows the need to focus on key indicators such as planning, research, teaching, relevance, communication with society, according to the results presented by the leaders of the ranking of the best Latin universities.
On the other hand, the tenth work is an essay entitled "Neurodiversity, pedagogies of the minor and subjectivizing singularity: evaluating learning through the perspective of performance in action". Aldo Ocampo González, author, focuses on the understanding of inclusive education and its relationship with educational justice, recognizing that this not only produces new knowledge, but also powerful alterative angles of vision of reality. An ontological and pedagogical conception of the lesser is assumed and it is concluded that inclusion is also a political critique of suspicion, since it tries to return something that constitutes the essence of the pedagogical task, reaffirming a nomadic heuristic nature.
And to close, the last essay of this issue is presented: "Cultural policy in the 21st century: between diversity and the digital environment". This essay addresses cultural policies in the 21st century, specifically those related to the digital environment. The author, Belén Fiallos Quinteros, starts with a brief analysis of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (UNESCO, 2005). Secondly, it addresses categories and some issues arising from the new dynamics emerging from the contemporary world as a result of globalization, the Internet, technologies and new social processes in relation to cultural diversity and the development of the cultural industry.
The impact of this research within the scientific community will allow to rethink models and tools to generate intervention proposals that contribute to the solution of certain existing problems in society, related to the topics discussed here. This knowledge transfer and dissemination material is available to the readers, which will strengthen human talent, enhancing competitiveness worldwide.
