Rupture of intellectual egocentrism. Interdisciplinarity in the academic processes of higher education

Currently, there are phenomena such as intellectual egocentrism that are combined to create actual transformations that have become an impediment to educational events. It would talk about globalization and internationalization, the karma of a whole path of conversions. The research objective is to establish the fundamental concepts, theories, and importance. For this purpose, knowledge of gear is required in all these processes. It carried the study out using descriptive and exploratory research, which supports the use of methods that consider the observation of reality (empirical). It is remarkable to mention that the hermeneutic-dialectical approach allowed philosophical support. With this data, it is possible to verify the triangulation of the information that evidenced the interdisciplinary work, and it identifies through a method with didactic procedures for the interdisciplinarity implementation in integrative projects. The reflection is based on the paradigmatic proposition in processes that must join now of the competencies' achievement of the graduation profile, but in this case, it will be by levels of knowledge at school, pre-professional praxis to the degree guided by the Integrative Chair, the teachers of Research Method, on vertical axes and critical thinking in each competence and learning outcome by training project. The conclusion is worth clarifying that the paradigms are in the unfamiliarity of processes and the micro curricular redesign. Policies are obtained in terms of the priority of the processes, the follow-up, monitoring of practices, and the link with society to achieve the competencies of the graduation profile of the career with the transversal axes implementing of the educational model with a focus on socio-training.

Indicadores para el diseño de distribución de planta en MiPymes del sector Textil con un enfoque resiliente

Introduction. The capacity to respond and adapt to the risks and problems in an organization is critical for business success. Any type of weakness causes inefficient use of resources. On the contrary, flexible facilities can ensure the continuity of operations in the face of disruptive events, which significantly harm the company if they are not controlled. However, flexibility is not achieved only with the optimization of facilities, as resilient approaches can enhance it. Objective. To synthesize the variables and indicators with greater use in three different areas, business resilience, the textile industry, and the facility layout problem (FLP) in the textile industry. Methodology. The research is of a bibliographic-documentary nature. A systematic literature review was conducted, using the Fink methodology, considering 99 studies published between 2010 and 2021. The documents were analyzed using the Atlas.ti software; subsequently, a 4W (when, who, what, and where) analysis was used; finally, answers were given to three research questions posed through the PICO strategy. Results. The findings indicate that, there is a scarcity of studies about resilient FLPs, however, it is notable that the scientific interest regarding resilience has increased in the last six years, specifically in assessment methods and approaches to identify resilience factors and indicators in the industry through fuzzy mathematical models. Conclusions. Studies about resilience applied to FLP are not developed to a great extent worldwide, in the Ecuadorian context resilience has not been explored in depth. Eventually, the importance of indicators for an accurate model is highlighted and a series of indicators for the analysis of the behavior of facility layout with a resilient approach based on FLP factors is proposed.

Learning styles in mathematics and academic performance of university students

Introduction. The study of mathematics in Higher Education is not always well accepted by students. There is a lack of motivation and a favorable attitude towards these subjects, which are considered complex, which has led to low results. The influence of learning styles on academic performance has been a controversial topic in research, which has shown different and sometimes contradictory results. Objectives. Determine whether learning styles in Mathematics influence the academic performance of university students, identify the most effective learning styles in this subject. Methodology. A bibliographic review was conducted through the results of a sample of eleven original articles, corresponding to quantitative research that dealt with learning styles and their influence on the academic performance in mathematics of university students in the last five years. Results. 72.7% of the studies considered that the learning style influences academic performance. The reflective style prevailed over others in 54.5% of the studies and was identified with medium and high academic performance in 50.0% of them. The theoretical style was not among the most used, but it was in 18.2% of the investigations, which also related it to high academic performance. Conclusions. Learning styles influence academic performance. The reflective style is the most used and it is, together with the theoretical, the one that best adapts to the effective forms of learning in these subjects to achieve adequate performance. However, they must be applied in combination with the rest of the styles for the learning cycle to be successful.

Optimizing the supply of educational material using an intermediary language in the training of university students for the teaching of English

The article is dedicated to the problem of improving the assimilation of theoretical material by university students in the framework of the educational process in an Ecuadorian university. Starting from the generalization of the experience of practical work, the authors examine the difficulties that arise in the independent study of educational information. To optimize the educational process, the main aspects of the structure of the presentation of theoretical material are determined. Research has been conducted, during which the advantages of using adaptive patterns with the use of an intermediate language have been shown. This work shows the impact of the use of didactic materials in the teaching of the English language in higher education students of the Escuela Superior Polytechnical de Chimborazo. For meaningful learning, some weaknesses have been observed as a framework not only for the teaching and learning processes but also for the selection of materials and their design. Finally, some fundamental characteristics that materials for teaching English in the field of science must have been described with a series of practical examples, which must be developed for learning to be more successful. The article reviews the main functions of the Didactic Materials for the Teaching of English and its importance in the teaching and learning processes as mediators between teachers and students, that is, a link is created between them. The teaching material replaces reality and tries to represent it in the best viable way, facilitating its objectification.
