Beatriz Romaní Bendig — 2024-12-05

Introduction: Tourist accessibility seeks to integrate people with disabilities into physical and social environments by eliminating or reducing social, cultural, structural and physical barriers. The UNWTO is committed to accessible tourism for all. For the Quality and Operations Department of Mintur, ensuring accessibility requirements in the destination is a priority; this particular study addresses this issue in the context of the commercial complexes of the sector in Havana. Objective: To propose minimum accessibility requirements for the commercial complexes of the Caracol S.A. Company in Havana. Methodology: A semi-structured interview was conducted with the quality specialists of the Caracol S.A. Company and its five branches in Havana. Another interview was also conducted with the presidents of the Ibero-American Network and the Cuban Network of Accessible Tourism, as well as those of the National Association of the Blind, the National Association of the Deaf of Cuba and the Cuban Association of the Physically Handicapped – Motorists. A review of the specialized literature was carried out to obtain information on the requirements that commercial complexes have to meet to be accessible. The data processing was carried out from descriptive statistics, as well as the Pareto diagram using Microsoft Excel for Windows, version Excel 2019 (17.0). The validation of the proposal was carried out by a group of selected experts, through the ANOCHI method. Results: The results of the research allowed us to verify that the commercial complexes of the Caracol S.A Commercial Company in Havana are not accessible and that the vital challenges for the commercial complexes to become accessible are: trained personnel, staff awareness, and restructuring of the infrastructure. Conclusion: The proposal for minimum accessibility requirements was prepared, which was structured into general and specific requirements, which include a total of 14 sections, as well as the checklist, verifying the validity and reliability of the proposal for minimum accessibility requirements for the commercial complexes of the Caracol S.A. Commercial Company in Havana. General study area: (Tourism) Specific study area: (Tourist accessibility) Type of study: Original articles / Original articles,

Training in the agricultural professional figure and the professional projection of graduates. Exploratory study

Ana Luisa Puertas Valencia — 2024-12-12

Introduction: In Ecuador, students have the possibility of training in technical areas, from the high school level, and continue with their learning and professionalization processes through the different third-level technologies that exist in the country and that are distributed in the different provinces and cities. To this end, the consolidation of a professional profile by competencies for each technical area is proposed. This change of perspective has resulted in the Ecuadorian context strengthening training through the offer of the technical baccalaureate and the third-level technologies that can be obtained in different educational institutions in the country. Through the technical baccalaureate, training is provided focused on technical areas that allow students to be part of the labor market and generate social or economic entrepreneurship activities. Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the perception of the training of the technical professional figure in agriculture and the professional projection of the graduates of the educational institution "Armengol Lara Valencia" located in the Chumundé parish of the province of Esmeraldas. The specific objectives were to investigate the students' perception of the competency training of the professional technical figure in agriculture; inquire about labor insertion and professional self-realization and suggest strategies based on the results of the graduates' perceptions. Methodology: the methodology of the study developed a mixed approach with exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional scope based on deductive, statistical, and descriptive methods. The population was made up of 96 graduated students. Surveys and interviews were applied through questionnaires according to the dimensions: competencies, labor insertion and self-realization. Results: They determined that the institution faces limitations that focus on the lack of practical learning that contributes to the development of competencies that allow students to respond to the demands that arise in the workplace. Conclusions: The training of agricultural professionals faces significant challenges in integration into the labor market, which highlights the need for a curriculum that combines theory and practice. For graduates to achieve their self-realization and develop fully, it is essential that institutions align their programs with the demands of the sector, foster meaningful learning, and adopt constructivist strategies that strengthen their competencies and promote entrepreneurship, thus improving their professional projection at the national level.

Brandon Campos Martinez — 2024-12-14

Introduction: Supernumerary teeth are recognized as a pathology derived from an embryological deviation of the dental organ, its etiology is due to the hyperactivity of the dental lamina, and the hyperplasia of other epithelial organizations, producing evagination and proliferation of the external layer of the epithelial sheath, forming a normal or tiny supernumerary paradentary organ. Objective: to analyze in detail the etiology, treatment, and characteristics of supernumerary teeth. Methodology: in this bibliographic review, its location and identification are analyzed so much that they become very complex, especially in mixed dentitions, where their differentiation with the erupted elements and the tooth germs in development of eruption is essential, which is why which the present research will focus on analyzing causes and treatments in the alteration of the development of supernumerary teeth, an anomaly that affects their functionality and aesthetics, occurring with a frequency of 90% in the upper jaw. Conclusion: supernumerary teeth are an anomaly whose etiology is uncertain but linked to the alteration of odontogenesis and hyperactivity of dental lamina. Its diagnosis requires several clinical, radiographic and tomographic evaluations, it depends greatly on its classification, which includes location, eruption, number and morphology, its most common treatment being extraction.

Collaborative learning and physical education pedagogy in children with autistic traits

Mónica Gabriela Aguas Liquinchana — 2024-12-20

Introduction. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents challenges in Physical Education due to difficulties in social interaction, motor skills and communication. Objective. To demonstrate the impact of collaborative learning on the dimensions of the PEA teaching-learning process in Physical Education classes. Methodology. A mixed sequential explanatory design was used, with a quantitative pre-experimental approach and a qualitative phenomenological analysis. Twenty-nine children participated (27 without special educational needs (SEN) and 2 with ASD), assessed on five dimensions of the PEA (social interaction, motor performance, cognition, inclusion, and teaching role) using a validated form (α=0.868). Data was analyzed statistically and by thematic analysis of interviews. Results. Significant improvements were found in all dimensions assessed (p≤0.05). Students with ASD showed progress in social interaction and inclusion, reflecting greater willingness to collaborate and sense of belonging. In motor performance and cognition, group activities facilitated their learning and adaptation. The role of the teacher was key in mediating, adapting activities and reinforcing positive behaviors. Conclusion. Collaborative learning is an inclusive and effective methodology that improves social, motor, and cognitive skills, promotes group cohesion, and reduces inequalities in ASP. These findings highlight the importance of the teacher as a mediator and validate collaborative learning as an essential tool in inclusive pedagogy. General Area of Study: Psych pedagogy.
