Short version of the Autonomous Work Strategies Questionnaire adapted for primary school children
Autonomous learning is a key competency in current education, especially in the context of pedagogical transformation driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Autonomous Work Strategies Questionnaire (CETA) by López-Aguado (2010) for sixth-grade primary school students in Mexico. The research adopted a quantitative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional approach, with a non-probability sample of 203 students from public and private primary schools. The adaptation process included expert review, linguistic adjustments, and pilot testing. Exploratory factor analysis identified a structure composed of four dimensions: planning, test preparation and participation, extension, and conceptualization, retaining 18 of the original 41 items. Reliability coefficients were satisfactory for both the total scale and the dimensions. The findings support the validity and reliability of the adapted instrument, proposing it as a useful tool for evaluating autonomous learning strategies in primary education. Its application in school contexts is recommended to guide pedagogical practices that promote self-regulation from an early age.
Design and validation of an instrument to measure digital Competencies in artificial intelligence among Higher education students
This study describes the design and validation of an instrument to assess digital competencies in artificial intelligence (AI) among higher education students. Given the increasing integration of AI in academic and professional settings, reliable tools are needed to measure students’ knowledge, attitudes, and ethical perceptions regarding this technology. The research was conducted with a sample of 200 students from the University of Montemorelos during the 2024–2025 academic year. The instrument demonstrated adequate internal consistency (0.880), with satisfactory reliability coefficients across its three dimensions: Knowledge (0.774), Attitudes (0.859), and Ethics (0.807). Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the three-factor structure, supported by sampling adequacy (0.882) and a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity (1137.600, 0.001). The three factors accounted for 62.088 of the total variance: Attitudes (40.863), Ethics (12.410), and Knowledge (8.815). Communalities indicated a strong representation of key items within each dimension, highlighting perceptions related to AI’s potential to optimize workload (ACT3), the responsible and ethical use of AI (ETI6), and knowledge of AI-driven personalized learning (CON3). These findings support the internal validity of the instrument and its reliability in measuring digital competencies in AI. The results underscore the importance of enhancing technical knowledge, fostering trust in AI, and promoting its ethical integration within higher education curricula.
Business Management and Prevention of Psychosocial Risks: Application of NOM-035-STPS-2018 in the Automotive Sector of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico.
The objective of this article was to analyze business management aimed at the prevention of psychosocial risks in the automotive sector of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico, based on the application of the Official Mexican Standard NOM-035-STPS-2018. The implementation focused on identifying the levels of psychosocial risk within organizations in the sector. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was used, applying Reference Guide III of the standard to a sample of workers from automotive companies. The results revealed that, although a generally low level of psychosocial risk was identified, high risks were also found in critical domains such as leadership, workplace violence, performance recognition, and working conditions. This highlights the need to strengthen business management strategies through the implementation of comprehensive programs that address organizational factors affecting workers' mental health and well-being. The research contributes to the understanding of the practical application of the standard in a local context, emphasizing the importance of active corporate participation in the prevention of psychosocial risks as part of their social responsibility and as a key element for improving productivity and workplace climate.
Didactic strategy to manage emotions derived from armed conflict in science teaching in sixth grade
For decades, the armed conflict has significantly affected the emotional and academic development of all rural educational institutions in Chocó, especially the students of the San Agustín de Sipí Chocó Agricultural and Livestock Educational Institution. Through a qualitative approach by means of the application of surveys and direct observations in the population, problems of concentration, participation and academic performance were found, whose cause had to do with emotional sequels caused by the armed conflict. In the same way, it was evidenced that the current curricula do not offer tools for emotional regulation in the Educational Institution in the object of study, which highlights the urgency of developing a pedagogical proposal that adjusts to this context. In response, this research focused on a didactic strategy to manage emotions derived from the armed conflict in the teaching of natural sciences to sixth grade students of the Institución Educativa Agropecuaria San Agustin de Sipí Chocó, whose purpose is to strengthen the resilience of students and improve their academic performance in Natural Sciences. The research indicates that the incorporation of emotional management in the classroom not only facilitates the learning of scientific content, but also helps to rebuild the social fabric in communities marked by violence.

The results highlight that, as progress is made in restructuring organizational, curricular, and pedagogical dynamics, its impact will be maximized, positioning students as active leaders of their educational and professional journey within today’s dynamic global contexts.
Management in Practice: The Strategic Power of Managerial Competencies
The development of managerial competencies contributes to improving organizational performance and represents a growing demand in the training of managers—focusing more on soft skills than on technical or mechanical abilities. Most studies in leadership and management agree that individual competencies—especially teamwork—promoted by those in top-level organizational leadership must align with the demands of today’s global environment. Therefore, the objective of this study is to describe the managerial competencies of Business Administration students based on the framework proposed by Hellriegel, Jackson, and Slocum (2017). This type of research has not yet been conducted at both universities of Caldas. A cross-sectional quantitative study will be carried out, applying the instrument proposed by the aforementioned authors to a convenience sample of Business Administration students at the university. This research seeks to enrich curricular discussions and contribute to the reflection on formative processes in management programs. The findings indicate that teamwork competence is at an average level overall, with notable strength in dimensions such as team design.
Technological resources and mathematics learning for dominican secondary school students
The integration of technologies into mathematics teaching has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, opening up new possibilities for improving student understanding. This research aims to analyze the impact of the use of technological tools on mathematics learning among secondary school students in the municipality of Altamira, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, from September 2024 to June 2025. A quantitative approach was used, administering a Likert-type scale questionnaire to a sample of 325 students. The data were analyzed using a structural equation model with partial least squares to identify relationships between key variables. The results showed significant effects of attitude toward technology, perception of usefulness, and student motivation on learning efficiency, which, in turn, is directly related to mathematics performance. These findings demonstrate that the planned and pedagogically mediated use of technologies in the classroom can enhance student engagement, improve understanding of mathematical concepts, and promote more efficient learning. It is concluded that strengthening the digital competencies of educational stakeholders and promoting appropriate institutional conditions is key to maximizing the impact of technologies on academic achievement in mathematics.
System of Deductions and their Compliance with Tax Obligations in Mining Companies in the Province of San Antonio de Putina - 2024
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the deduction system and compliance with tax obligations in mining companies in the province of San Antonio de Putina - 2024. A quantitative approach was adopted with a non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational design. The population consisted of 71 workers from 23 mining companies composed of general managers, administrators, accountants and accounting assistants. Data collection was carried out by means of a 20-item questionnaire applied through surveys. The results showed a moderate and statistically significant positive correlation between the deduction system and tax compliance (Spearman's Rho = 0.583; p < 0.05). Likewise, significant correlations were identified between the dimensions of the drawback system (power to collect, tax administrative procedure and tax compliance) and the dimensions of tax obligations (tax portion and tax assessment). These findings highlight the importance of the deduction system and administrative processes to promote tax compliance in mining companies, underscoring the need to adapt the management of these mechanisms to the specific context of the sector.

Active Methodologies: Development of Scientific Competencies in Academic Students
Introduction: this research aims to provide an analysis of scientific competencies in high school students from a public educational institution located in San Pedro de los Milagros, Colombia. Additionally, it explores the contribution of neuroeducation to these students based on constructivist principles. Methodology: a quantitative, evaluative approach was employed, grounded in the positivist epistemological model and a hypothetico-deductive method. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test, involving a sample of 136 students. Results: the pre-test revealed a low level of scientific competencies among the high school students in this institution. Contributing factors included traditional teaching methods with limited student participation, a highly theoretical approach to instruction, a non-formative assessment system with little review and feedback, and a low utilization of active learning methodologies. Subsequently, science classes were redesigned using active learning strategies. While the results showed differences between the pre-test and post-test scores after the intervention, these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: following the intervention, improvements in students' scientific competencies related to natural science topics were observed. This indicates the importance of incorporating a neurodidactic strategy based on active methodologies in educational settings.
Nobles and Saints. Notes on the Imaginaries of Santiago the Apostle in Communities of Central Mexico
Based on a religious sculpture of Santiago the apostle and its various painted representations in a central region of Mexico, this study examines and analyzes contemporary interpretations formulated from both the cultural traditions of indigenous rooted groups who venerate him and the dogmatic religious position on Catholicism during the Viceregal period. The methodology coordinates two processes: long-term ethnographic work during sacred festivities and the study of images associated with the figure on its pedestal from a Galarcian perspective. The findings indicate that the figure and its associated images represent, in the cosmovision of three peoples, the very origins of these groups in relation to a transcendental historical conjuncture in the country´s history, based on sociocultural stratifications typical of the sacralized definition of the process. Additionally, it relates to agricultural cycles inherent to the region’s production processes.
From Noumenon to Phenomenon as an Object of Official Religious Education in Colombia
In Colombia, the Ministry of National Education issues Circular 21 of 2023 with the purpose of eradicating Colombian illiteracy in relation to the fundamental right of religious freedom. The Constitutional Court, through Sentence T – 357 of 2024, orders the elimination of Catholic dogmatic content and takes Circular 21 into account to teach the religious phenomenon in a neutral manner. The Episcopal Conference of Colombia comments on the Sentence, suggests legal actions to restore Catholic instruction to Catholic students, and requests new governmental regulations for religious education. In this context, the objective of the present study is to examine the codes of the Circular and the Sentence with the references of the Colombian educational system to identify their implications in factual contexts. The study adopts a qualitative approach with a documentary and hermeneutic-systemic design. The result is the interpretation of eight implications in six factual contexts of the educational system impacted by the change in the object of instruction of religious education in official educational institutions, as it transitions from the noumenon to the phenomenon, in the Kantian sense. The teaching of the religious phenomenon is established with a primary focus on the meaning of religious freedom as a fundamental right and as an integral public policy; the systemic implications lead to changes in the training, evaluation, and academic management of religious education teachers, updates for teaching administrators and academic peers, inclusion in standardized tests, disciplinary responsibility, and reflection on the Church-State relationship.
Didactic Strategies for Environmental Sustainability in Childhood in Colombia, a State of the Art from 2014-2024
The present work forms a state of the art on the didactic strategies implemented in children’s educational environments of environmental sustainability. The main objective is to generate a process of systematization of the experiences developed in early childhood education with respect to environmental sustainability in the last 10 years. The didactics applied in the processes of environmental sustainability in early childhood education is an essential part of the integral formation of children, since it influences the creation of environmental awareness and sensitivity from the earliest stages of life. Methodologically, the research is located in the qualitative paradigm, with a type of documentary analysis study, addressing as data collection techniques the criteria for the selection of sources: thematic relevance, period of publication (2014-2024), geographical and cultural context, methods and didactic approaches. For the documentary review, 50 documents were considered, consisting of: research articles, state of the art, degree works and books. The review was conducted at the local (Bogotá), national (Colombia) and international levels. These findings are essential to design educational strategies to sensitize new generations about environmental care in early childhood education implemented during the period 2014-2024. This research proposal seeks to contribute and strengthen significantly in this field, positively impacting the formation of future generations committed to environmental protection.

Español Perception of Treasury Management in The Confessional Churches of the Puno Region, Peru
Treasury management is vital in any organization, whether private or public, as it determines the financial budget needed to cover the expenses required by an institution. This research aims to analyze the perception of treasury management in confessional churches in the Puno Region in 2023. The research methodology is qualitative and phenomenological, focusing on the experiences of treasurers from various churches that are part of the Lake Titicaca Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 31 church treasurers, and the data collection instrument was the interview guide. The results indicate that standardized procedures for receiving and counting tithes and offerings, along with the rigorous use of accounting systems such as the Adventist Church Management System (ACMS), ensure accuracy and transparency. There are challenges such as the use of manual records; in several rural areas there is no internet connection, making real-time information difficult. The custody of funds is strengthened through bank deposits, as well as internal audits, although they express concern about the frequency of controls. The implementation of the use of technological tools does not apply to all churches, especially in rural areas. Recommendations include more effective communication about the distribution of funds, improving internal controls, technical support and training.
Transdisciplinary Pedagogical Projects. Correct definition of Law 115 in educational institutions of Colombia
Transdisciplinarity has permeated the current Colombian education system, despite the fact that the fundamental principles of the transcendence of disciplines have been established as a unifying vision of knowledge for more than 50 years. However, when implementing educational policies framed within the General Education Law, educational institutions blatantly misrepresent the terms transdisciplinary and transversal when executing pedagogical projects aimed at designing and developing a product following requirements from the Ministry of National Education (MEN). Furthermore, the student must acquire mastery over a technique or technology, or a solution to a case from academic, social, political, or economic life, fostering an investigative spirit and fulfilling the objectives of the Institutional Educational Project (PEI) and the curriculum plan, which clearly implies transdisciplinarity, not transversality. This review delimits the search on teaching experience, local and national regulations, as well as research literature focused on transdisciplinarity and transversality from basic secondary and middle school educational environments, including technical secondary education. It found some lack of teaching and pedagogical knowledge about transdisciplinarity, transversality, and even about pedagogical projects and their application in public schools. The purpose of this study is to deconstruct the transversal concept applied to pedagogical projects with that of transdisciplinarity, giving meaning and significance to the requirements of the PEI and the curricular objectives of the country’s educational institutions and, in compliance with this, providing the educational community with the quality and learning that society demands.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Admission Test: an Empirical Study in the Area of Logical Thinking
Educational institutions face a growing demand, which has led to the implementation of entrance exams as the main filter to select applicants with the greatest potential for academic success. However, there is debate as to whether these exams are adequate to evaluate the potential of applicants in specific areas of knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether such tests are well designed and whether they adequately discriminate between applicants. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the admission test at a university in northeastern Mexico, specifically in logical thinking. The research was developed in three phases: development of a question bank, creation of a controlled environment for the pilot test, and evaluation of the performance and validity of the test using various techniques. The analysis showed that most of the test items have a high discriminative ability. However, items were identified as needing revision. The biserial discrimination coefficient indicated a good level of discrimination, and the overall degree of difficulty of the test leaned toward the moderately difficult level. The distractor analysis validated that the response options fulfill their function. The logical thinking test demonstrates a sound methodological approach and careful implementation. However, a continuous revision of items with low discrimination and ineffective response options is recommended to improve the reliability and validity of the test, consolidating an accurate and fair assessment of the applicants’ logical thinking abilities.

Transforming Pastoral Praxis: A Perspective from Participatory Action Research in the Social Context
Throughout this essay, the application of Participatory Action Research (PAR) within pastoral praxis has been critically examined and presented as a viable approach to addressing contemporary challenges in complex social contexts. PAR actively involves local communities in the research process, enhancing the understanding of pastoral care contexts and fostering a more reflective, transformative, and empowering practice. By analyzing real-life examples, this study illustrates how PAR can elevate pastoral work beyond technical aspects, empowering communities to take ownership of their faith and social development. The core argument asserts that PAR transcends immediate societal needs, promoting sustainable, holistic change while reinforcing pastoral practices aligned with theological values.
Perception of the degree of awareness in information security before and after an intervention in a religious institution in Mexico
The objective of this research is: to determine if there is a significant difference in the degree of awareness of information security before and after an intervention in administrative personnel of a religious institution in central Mexico. To answer the research question, is there a significant difference in the degree of awareness of information security before and after an intervention among administrative personnel of a religious institution in central Mexico? A pre-experimental research was carried out with the same subjects. To measure information security awareness (ISA), the HAIS-Q questionnaire was applied, which consists of 63 items grouped into seven areas of interest, which are: Password management, use of email, management of mobile devices, Internet use, use of social networks, information management and incident reporting. The questionnaire was administered to a group of 26 people from a religious institution in central Mexico. Each participant was assigned a unique identification number that only they knew. This was done with the purpose of protecting the privacy of each individual and to distinguish each instrument, facilitating subsequent grouping for analysis. The application of the questionnaire was carried out through the Google Forms platform. Subsequently, a cybersecurity intervention was carried out combining training with stories. The intervention focused on each of the seven areas of interest of the HAIS-Q and lasted five days, with sessions lasting thirty to forty-five minutes each. Then, the HAIS-Q questionnaire was administered again to the same group of 26 people to compare the results with those obtained in the first application. The information security awareness (ISA) variable showed significant differences in the means (p < .001) and a high effect size (d = 1.06). These results confirm the rejection of the null hypothesis of this research.
Proposal of Research skills for the Consolidation of the Research Seed Program in Undergraduate Students
In higher education, research is considered as one of its substantive functions. This is because Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are committed to the formation of individuals who understand the dynamics, contexts and changes with which society is involved and develops. These individuals must be developers and significant actors of their realities. This research used a quantitative methodology of quasi-experimental type, a Pre-test and Post-test design was implemented, with the objective of identifying the necessary research skills to structure a research seedbed program. Among the results, four groups of skills are highlighted, namely: documentary skills, socio-contextual skills, intellectual skills and analytical skills. The results show a significant improvement in the research skills of the participants of the research seedbed program, as well as a contribution to their formation as reflective actors in society.

Level of stress appreciation in a private university in Mexico
Multiple activities are carried out throughout the life cycle, including role performance, experiences of events, and experiences of situations that trigger stress, anxiety, nervousness, tension, and other symptoms, not subjects. However, not all potentially stressful agents are present in every individual's life or affect in the same way. On the contrary, the stress response is differential; it depends on the agents and the individual's reaction and coping capacity. From a cognitive approach, the subject mentally assesses stressful events and himself in front of them. Although the event may be relevant or vital, its response may be adequate if the issue has the appropriate coping strategies. This work aims to evaluate the situations that potentially generate stress, as well as the incidence and intensity with which it affects the lives of university students, as part of the Healthy Lifestyle Program at Linda Vista University.
Predict Academic Performance at UNADECA through Classification Systems
Predicting the academic performance of students is not only a task that attracts researchers but also the administrative staff of university faculty. Effective models can be created using specific algorithms for supervised and unsupervised educational data mining. Cleaning and coding techniques were applied to the data set. The execution of the algorithms and the comparison of their metrics made it possible to determine the courses that should be assisted with greater attention in the quest to improve students' academic performance. The data were divided into two groups, one for learning and the other for prediction. Algorithms in the Python language and a graphical tool, RapidMiner Studio, were used. No clustering was performed due to lack of consistent information in the original data. The classification algorithm that had the best metrics was Random Forest, exceeding 90% accurracy in the different cases. RapidMiner, on the other hand, the algorithm with the best results was Gradient Boosted Trees with an accuracy of 93.6%, with the specific prediction of the result of pass or fail. A comparison was made by schools, with very similar results for Nursing, Psychology and Theology, with an accuracy of approximately 93%.
The new forced migrations seen from the Marxist perspective. Inconsistencies and challenges
Forced migrations seen from the Marxist perspective proposes to explain the phenomenon of irregular migration from the development strategy imposed by the capitalist system to expand its hegemony in a regional economic context, in tune with the public policies implemented by the States that intervene in these human displacements to exercise control and selection of these migrations, understood from the Marxist dialectic as an "industrial reserve army". Therefore, this Marxist perspective seeks to systematize everything that encourages the migration of workers through the processes of economic integration and capital production chains, especially by destroying the basic means of subsistence and productive activities in the communities of origin. But this Marxist dialectical method should not be exempt from conceptual problems and empirical inconsistencies to be addressed, especially for the new proto-Marxist intellectuals, since an important part of science is based on the questioning that will have to be recognized and reflected upon for the construction of future research works
