The study presented focused on analyzing the influence of project-based learning on the development of soft skills in four-year-old infants from an Educational Institution in Guayaquil, considering that based on a previous study it was determined that most children had difficulties in self-regulating their emotions, having a positive vision or showing empathy with their peers. This research considered an applied methodology, with a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of 70 children from the initial education sublevel one, who were divided equally to form the control and experimental group. An observation guide was used as a data collection instrument that was applied as a pre-test and posttest to all participants. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group after the application of project-based learning activitie...

Este estudio examinó el comportamiento actitudinal de estudiantes de secundaria que participaron en un programa educativo para promover la concienciación medioambiental. El programa se llevó a cabo con un grupo de intervención, mientras que un grupo de control siguió métodos de enseñanza tradicionales a modo de comparación. El grupo de intervención participó en actividades prácticas y proyectos comunitarios, lo que les permitió interactuar directamente con la realidad social y medioambiental. Los resultados indicaron que, aunque el grupo de control demostró cierto nivel de conciencia medioambiental, su compromiso no fue tan fuerte como el de los alumnos que se comprometieron activamente con la naturaleza. Los resultados sugieren que el programa desarrollado ha demostrado ser eficaz para mejorar tanto el enfoque didáctico como el compromiso medioambiental de los alumnos.

The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation of organizational learning on the professional development of teachers in an educational unit in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The methodology used was quantitative, non-experimental and correlational in scope, with a sample of 100 teachers. Cronbach's alpha was used to validate the data collection instruments, obtaining high reliability indexes, and chi-square was used to evaluate the independence between categorical variables and to determine the significant association between them. The results showed that organizational learning has a significant impact on teacher professional development, with the associated significance values (Sig.) being 0.021 for Pearson and 0.032 for Deviance. It is concluded that implementing effective organizational learning strategies can substantially improve teachers' professional development and, conseq...

The research focused on analyzing how a program of playful activities influences the development of mathematical thinking in early childhood children who attend the preparatory education level, a process of transition between mathematical notions and the basic contents of this area of knowledge. The study used a quantitative methodology and quasi-experimental design based on the comparison of an experimental and a control group. The study population included 70 students aged 5 to 6 years. Initially, a diagnosis was applied based on the mathematical thinking questionnaire that obtained a reliability level of A=.855, through which shortcomings were evidenced in both groups. The final results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, while the control group showed no significant changes.
