Vol. 8 No. 2 (2021)
We are pleased to present issue 2, volume 8, of the year 2021 of the UISRAEL Scientific Journal. In this opportunity we make available to the entire academic community 10 scientific products as a result of researches elaborated with scientific and methodological rigor, and that contribute 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 are in correspondence with the lines approved by the Universidad Tecnológica Israel, publisher of our journal. In addition, this publication offers topics of diverse nature, highlighting the interdisciplinary characteristic of the magazine, the presentation of problems that affect our country, and with this, results that face them.
In this sense, the first article presented by the authors Claudia Zuriaga Bravo and Ivo Leonel Pereira Díaz, entitled "Oral narration as a pedagogical tool in the promotion of short fiction" aims to facilitate a theoretical and practical bridge between students and the short text, through oral narration as a key tool in this process.
The second article is entitled "The teaching-learning process of grammatical rules at the pre-university level". In it, its authors, Armando Castillo Acevedo, Eraida Campos Maura and Elba Caridad Gómez analyze the current state of the teaching-learning process of grammatical rules in pre-university and its link with the cognitive, communicative and sociocultural approach; for this purpose, a periodization of grammar teaching is made, its link with the discursive-functional approach and some didactic and methodological tools are offered for the improvement of this process.
The third work, under the authorship of María Fernanda Rodríguez Solís and Santiago Alejandro Acurio Maldonado, is entitled "TPACK model and active methodology, applications in the area of mathematics. A theoretical approach". The purpose of this article is to identify innovative technological strategies through the TPACK model, plus the active methodology in teachers of the third years of general basic education for the subject of subtraction with regrouping. With the theoretical basis of the work of Contreras, Tristancho, & Fuentes (2017); who managed to evolve the type of teaching, with a greater intervention of the students, strengthening a different and punctual learning, increasing the analysis and development in mathematics, with the objective of working with the pedagogical and technological model of content (TPACK).
Carlos Eduardo Durán, Marily Rafaela Fuentes and Pamela Sandoval Yuqui are the authors of "Characterization for the linkage with society: case study Parroquia El Quinche", this fourth work had the objective of evaluating the importance of research projects and linkage with society in Ecuador, as part of the substantive functions of higher education. In this sense, it analyzes the actions carried out by students and professors of the Law program of the Metropolitan University of Ecuador (UMET), focusing specifically on the rural parish of El Quinche.
"University philosophy: a current for the construction of meanings in the training of trainers" is the name of the fifth manuscript, in this, its authors: Henry José Martínez, Duglas Ramón Piña and Juhenni Martínez González state that many teachers misuse power in their classrooms and this attitude leads students to perform their activities in a limited way, since the structure, discourse, among other cognitive factors are imposed on them. In turn, as part of the conclusions, they explain that the tools for learning and teaching almost never lead to reflect on the performance of the teacher and the student, in turn, the training lacks strategies for teaching to think from learning to be, learning to do and learning to learn, generating then transforming proposals in accordance with the educational policies issued by the Venezuelan State.
For their part, the authors Nancy Cristina Uquillas and Karen Córdova Vera, with their research "Influencia del filtro afectivo en el desarrollo de la producción oral del aprendizaje del idioma inglés" (Influence of the affective filter in the development of oral production in English language learning), conclude that talking about the affective filter is still a myth, since it has been proven in research that the student requires not only learning the conventional learning processes, but that, for the acquisition of a second language, the person must remain motivated, with self-confidence and without anxiety, so that learning is dynamic and not rigid, as it happens with the acquisition of the native language.
Janeth Díaz Vera, Alicia Ruiz Ramírez and Carolina Egüez Cevallos present "Impact of ICT: challenges and opportunities for Higher Education in the face of COVID-19", in which, as part of the results, the impact on the use of ICT for the development of their academic activities in the modality of online classes at the University of Guayaquil, in times of pandemic due to COVID-19, a global health crisis that includes Ecuador, was analyzed.
An eighth paper entitled: "Computational thinking skills in teachers in training at the Universidad La Gran Colombia" aimed to identify the level of skills related to computational thinking of future teachers linked to the Universidad La Gran Colombia, who want to be teachers and then, establish strategies, generate teaching orientation plans, new curricular proposals, among others. The authors Alvaro Josserand Camargo Pérez and John Alvaro Munar used the dominant approach methodology prevailing the quantitative and used the survey as a technique to collect information and establish the relationship between study skills and techniques.
On the other hand, the essay "The construction of school failure: institutional thinking and practices", presented by Rosa Estefanía Navas Espinosa, compiles relevant information on the subject of institutional thinking and practices associated with the construction of school failure. Among the institutional thoughts are: generalization, idealization of the student, the pansophical ideal, guilt and reductionist conceptions that exclude certain variables that are in constant interaction with regard to the explanation of school failure.
To close, the author Oscar Alberto Pérez Peña, presents the article entitled "Collective rights of communities over their intellectual property: contradictions between industrial property and traditional knowledge". The purpose of this research was to analyze the contradictions generated within the intellectual property protection system when it regulates aspects of traditional knowledge and industrial property. The communitarian character of traditional knowledge is expressed in its close relationship with the communities and social groups that carry it, which makes it difficult to fit into the industrial property system.
The impact of this research, within the scientific community, will allow the rethinking of models and tools to generate intervention proposals that contribute to the solution of certain existing problems in society, related to the topics discussed herein. This knowledge transfer and dissemination material is available to readers, which will strengthen human talent, enhancing competitiveness at local, regional and global levels.
