Epidemiology has been an essential interpretative tool to understand the collective health of society, especially in the case of infectious diseases, but its diagnostic role in public health is permanently subjected to diametrically opposed reasoning, epidemiological practices, and social demands. It provides the equipment to evaluate the quality of life of the population and its success depends on its economic and political providers, paradigms and applied research models, many of them merely the result of the free will and autonomous decisions of its specialists, academics or not academics. The purpose of this research was to describe the current situation of Latin American scientific production in the period 2010 to 2020 in relation to formative research on epidemiology. The bibliometric study is based on the descriptive-retrospective analysis of contributions collected in Scopus inde...

El estudio es de tipo aplicativo con enfoque mixto. Tuvo como propósito demostrar la eficacia de la investigación formativa por mediación virtual, en las destrezas científicas de un grupo de estudiantes que cursan la carrera de Educación. En este sentido, la estrategia cuantitativa empleada fue el diseño de un solo grupo con preprueba y posprueba y, desde la visión cualitativa, se procedió, considerando tres fases: en primer lugar, el diagnóstico; en segundo lugar, la aplicación de la propuesta; y, por último, la valoración conclusiva. Con este fin, se empleó como instrumento principal una rúbrica, en escala vigesimal, la misma que posee valoraciones muy altas, en cuanto a validez (0,917) y confiabilidad (0,869). Asimismo, en etapa factoperceptible, se aplicó un cuestionario de percepción a los sujetos intervenidos, conteniendo los mismos indicadores e ítems de la mencio...

En el contexto de emergencia sanitaria por COVID – 19, en múltiples centros educativos, no se ha enseñado de la mejor manera el proceso de comprensión, pues no se ha observado logros sobresalientes en los niveles que integran dicha competencia. En este sentido, se realizó un estudio con el propósito de diseñar una propuesta de estrategias tecnodidácticas orientada a potenciar la comprensión de textos en estudiantes del séptimo ciclo. Con respecto a la metodología, se trabajó con ochenta participantes, teniendo en cuenta el paradigma positivista, enfoque cuantitativo con un nivel de investigación básico – propositivo. Asimismo, se administró un test de comprensión cuya validez (V. AIKEN) es 0.998 y una confiabilidad (Alfa de Cronbach) de 0.86. Como resultados se obtuvo que, del total de estudiantes evaluados, menos del 60% se ubican en los niveles básico y deficiente. ...

The results were; application of didactic-pedagogical strategies of the processes in the remote context; use of enhanced digital resources creating contextualized materials for interaction and; the approach to the unavoidable emotional accompaniment in the face of childhood vulnerability. At the end of the study, it is concluded that it is impossible to unlink educational technology from affective aspects, which were well ...

ICT in the educational context can be seen as information transmitting resources that link the teacher and the student in the improvement of teaching-learning adapted to the needs and characteristics of each subject. From this perspective, we seek to describe the state of Iberoamerican scientific production on the inclusion of ICT in the educational discipline in the period 2010 to 2020, based on a retrospective descriptive analysis of publications collected in journals indexed in Scopus. A total of n=1976 contributions were collected. It was found that production increased by 8.51%. Spain is the Iberoamerican country that contributes with the highest scientific production, authors with Iberoamerican affiliation usually publish through conference articles, highlighting ACM International Conference Proceeding Series. In front of an analysis of maturity of knowledge we are facing a develop...

Solid waste management has become a critical problem in developing countries, therefore, with the aim of analyzing the Latin American scientific production on solid waste management in Scopus, a retrospective descriptive study was conducted considering as the unit of analysis the publications on solid waste management in journals indexed in Scopus, during the period 2010 to 2020. The search included all published and indexed articles, using the fields Article Title, Abstracts, Keywords, having as search term the word "Solid waste management". As result, 494 articles were found, of which 420 are original, 58 are reviews, and the rest are letters, editorials, conference papers, and notes. Brazil stands out as the largest producer of solid waste management knowledge (62.5% of Latin American production), followed by Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. On the other hand, 158 international...
