In the present investigation with the subject of sustained attention as inequality in academic performance, the objective of analyzing the performance presented by university students in the dimensions of the Attention Test d2 has been established, considering the different distracting stimuli that intervene in this new form of online education. The methodology used in this research is quantitative and qualitative, since it allowed obtaining statistical data from the applied instruments and, in the same way, their interpretation. The instruments applied are the Rolf Brinckenkamp Attention Test d2 and an academic performance questionnaire validated by an expert professional. 110 university students were evaluated, 28 men and 82 women between 18-24 years old. The results obtained in the first instrument were a low precision in the identification of relevant stimuli, little attention and omission of correct responses, a low level in the discrimination of relevant stimuli, attentional fatigue, poor performance in sustained attention and inefficiency in performance. of a task. The second instrument showed difficulties in maintaining attention for long periods of time due to the different distracting stimuli that are presented during the class day and the pedagogical strategies used by teachers to teach the contents of the subjects themselves that have consequences about their academic performance.

Educational inequalities are the result of the social and economic differences that families are going through in times of coronavirus, in which it can be felt that students have several deficiencies because they do not have all the necessary resources to continue learning using learning strategies that they employ, and these directly affect students to have an optimal academic performance. The academic goals have a close relationship with academic performance, these academic goals can vary according to their typology, the goals of social valuation can be evidenced in the group of participants that a low percentage since they do not like to perform their academic activities and if they do it is only to seek the approval of other people and fit into society in the same way, the learning goals have an influence in terms of better academic performance of students obtaining greater ability in the subjects of history, critical reading and mathematics.

Introduction: The present investigation had the purpose of analyzing the influence of virtual teaching in the school desertion of the students of Basic General Education in the "Jerusalem" Highschool from Ambato city. Objective: To analyze the influence of virtual teaching in the school desertion of the students of Basic General Education in the "Jerusalem" Highschool from the Ambato city. Methodology: The methodology used had a cuali-quantitative approach that was focused on an exploratory and descriptive analysis in the selected population. As a technique for collecting the information, it was used a validated survey with a questionnaire of ten objective multiple-choice questions with a sample of 116 students. After collecting data, the proposed hypothesis was evidenced.  Result: The results obtained show that a large percentage of students leave school because they have few technological tools. This has caused feelings of frustration in students, teachers, and parents, making the teaching-learning process difficult. Conclusions: As a conclusion, it can be determined that of a total of 116 students investigated, only 54 have an internet connection in order to receive virtual classes, in so far as, 62 students do not have the necessary conditions to receive virtual classes.

Introducción: El dominio de la expresión oral es un poderoso factor de desarrollo del pensamiento estructurado y de las capacidades cognitivas. Sin embargo, las metodologías tradicionales de enseñanza del inglés, basadas en la gramática y la escritura, determinan un bajo rendimiento de los alumnos en el contexto internacional. El Think-Pair-Share (TPS) como estrategia de aprendizaje colaborativo es una herramienta adecuada para resolver el problema. Objetivo: La presente investigación analiza la influencia de la estrategia de enseñanza TPS en el desarrollo de la competencia oral de los estudiantes A1 de un centro de idiomas de una universidad de Ambato, Ecuador. Metodología: A partir de una observación directa y la aplicación de una encuesta, se detectó que los alumnos presentaban dificultades para construir una comunicación eficaz. Se planteó un estudio cuasi experimental, en el que se establecieron dos grupos, control y experimental. El primer grupo recibió clases a través de estrategias de aprendizaje tradicionales y el segundo mediante estrategias basadas en TPS. Inicialmente, se evaluó el nivel de competencia oral de ambos grupos mediante la aplicación del Key English Test (KET) de Cambridge. Las estrategias de enseñanza se aplicaron en ambos grupos. En el caso del grupo experimental, la estrategia TPS consistía en el trabajo colaborativo entre los alumnos, cada participante subía vídeos cortos en una plataforma online sobre sus ideas respecto a los temas sugeridos por el profesor. A continuación, los alumnos revisaron el material preparado por sus compañeros de clase, hicieron sugerencias para mejorar su capacidad de expresión oral y realizaron una presentación oral ante sus compañeros. Se aplicó otra prueba KET para conocer el desarrollo de la capacidad de expresión del habla. Resultados: Los estudiantes mejoraron su rendimiento, aunque el grupo experimental mostró mejores resultados, hasta el punto de que la media fue de 12,48 sobre 15, frente a la media del grupo de control, que fue de 9,70 sobre 15. Conclusiones: Los estudiantes estaban bien dispuestos a trabajar utilizando la estrategia TPS y el programa de enseñanza permitió a los estudiantes mejorar sus habilidades orales para comunicarse en el idioma inglés.

Introduction: Dysthymia is a poorly studied condition and being considered as a major depressive disorder is a public health problem, due to the consequences and manifestations that affect not only the individual but the entire family and social group, since it involves alterations serious and long-lasting emotional Objective: To determine the family relational factors associated with the development of dysthymia in adolescents. Methodology: Causal correlational study, of a non-experimental type, with an intentional non-probabilistic sampling; There was a sample of 98 participants, the instruments used were the Modified Birleson Scale made up of 21 questions, with a Likert-type score from 0 to 2 to identify the presence or absence of dysthymia, FACES III has 20 items, with a scale of Likert-type score of 5 alternatives to evaluate cohesion and adaptability and Social Climate Scale structured by 90 items, which assesses the socio-environmental characteristics of the family, the non-parametric chi-square test (x2) was used, allowing to estimate the relationship between family relational factors and dysthymia. Results: In relation to dysthymia, they occurred in 59.2% of adolescents. The socio-family climate is associated with the presence of dysthymia (p = 0.017), 21.8% of adolescents with dysthymia had a "Bad" family climate, while 25.6% of those who did not have dysthymia had a family climate " Okay". The degree of adaptation of the family is not related to dysthymia (p = 0.283). Conclusion: family relational factors such as inattention, independence conflicts, emotional difficulties with parents, marital conflict, negative life events in the family environment, a history of suicide attempt by a relative, family violence are related to the development of dysthymia in more than half of adolescents.

Introduction: The present research was developed during the year 2021 in the sanitary confinement stage in order to know the importance of the development of multiple intelligences in schoolchildren between 11 and 13 years old. Objective: Analysis of multiple intelligences in a group of school children between 11 and 13 years old during the sanitary pandemic. Methodology: The study presents a quantitative type of research, a descriptive study was used since it was possible to observe and analyze the results of multiple intelligences carried out with a random sample applied to 40 students in times of pandemic, for which the IAMI instrument was used to evaluate multiple intelligences, the survey was applied virtually to contribute with the sanitary biosecurity norms. Results: The data obtained are presented in statistical tables and graphs, they contain the analysis of: values, means and standard deviations, as well as the predominances of multiple intelligences. Conclusions: It was determined that the multiple intelligences developed by the schoolchildren in the present study sample in the Ingahurco neighborhood show a greater preponderance of Intrapersonal Intelligence followed by Kinesthetic and Linguistic Intelligence; in lower percentages we have Logical Mathematical Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Musical Intelligence, and with low percentages we have Visual Spatial Intelligence and Naturalistic Intelligence.

Introduction. Educational axiology has an intrinsic correlation to value, becoming a foundation and essence of the teaching process, since there is no other alternative to educate but in values. In teacher training it is imperative to improve emotional intelligence, which allows us to control the feelings and emotions of human beings, to differentiate between those that improve our behavior and those that affect our behavior, and to use this information to guide our actions. Objective. To examine the educational axiology to improve emotional intelligence and its importance in the training of teachers of basic education at the Technical University of Ambato. Methodology. A quantitative approach was used, the type of research applied was of an explanatory-analytical nature, which allowed to expand the phenomenon of emotional intelligence based on three aspects such as: attention, clarity and repair, the test based on the Trait Meta-Mood Scale TMMS-24, which consists of 24 questions with five alternatives comprising values from 1 to 5, was used. Results. Based on the survey, three aspects are demonstrated: Attention: women 69.6%; men 55.6% (adequate attention). Clarity: women 57.3%; men 66.7% (adequate understanding). Repair: women 49.4%; men 49.4.6% (adequate regulation). The population for this research is 30 first level students, 40 second level students, 20 seventh level students and 20 eighth level students. Conclusion. It is evident that the students have an adequate level of emotional intelligence with similar percentages in the three dimensions analyzed, also high scores are identified in emotional repair, where it is highlighted that, although sometimes I feel sad, I usually have an optimistic vision as well as I have a lot of energy when I feel happy coincide in the percentage.

Introduction: At present, the field of Neurosciences has generated significant progress emphasizing the study of cognitive processes, thus giving rise to the birth of disciplines in various branches of scientific knowledge.

Conclusions: Finally, we conclude on the importance of these contributions and how they guide the teaching role and educational practices to enable the achievement of significant learning in the classroom, of course including the concepts, precepts and theory reviewed in this work.

Introduction. Emotional intelligence is considered as the capacity that allows us to distinguish, understand, regulate, and become aware of our emotions, and those of others, to tolerate the pressures and frustrations that we endure in our daily lives. In such a way that within education, emotional intelligence plays a great role, especially in the acquisition of learning, due to the greater stability and emotional control, the greater the meaningful learning that is acquired and the greater success there will be in the educational field. That is why the present research aims to determine if emotional intelligence influences the virtual education of students of the Faculty of Human Sciences and Education. Methodology: In which it was carried out with a quantitative approach applying the structured test "BarOnlo emotional inventory questionnaire" to know the characteristics of emotional intelligence in students, which transforms it into a mixed approach, since this research is descriptive - Exploratory and details the marked characteristics of emotional intelligence in students within the educational field and how it influences within it. Results It was revealed that in the intrapersonal component it is the one with the most control by the students, while in the stress management component it is the one with the least control. Conclusion with a set of virtual tools and methodologies by the teacher, the student can increase their ability to retain information for a longer time.

Introduction. Currently deep learning or deep learning has applications of all kinds, tourism is not the exception, data mining has allowed optimizing processes within the tourism industry such as tourist demand, knowing the preference of people's tourist routes allows optimizing resources and propose improvements within this sector. Target. Determine if tourist routes can be classified by means of deep learning or deep learning tools. Methodology. The research design was qualitative, techniques such as the interview were used, for these two hypotheses are proposed, the first has to do with the relationship between the type of climate of the tourist destination and the preference of tourists, the second hypothesis is the verification of the conformation of tourist clusters based on the preference of the people. As verification tools, direct verification and the Weka program were used with the SimpleKMeans clusters option that allows the identification of tourists' preferences based on the data mining of 31 people. Results. The results indicate that the largest number of people interviewed prefer tourist destinations in hot climates, however, this was not a determining parameter in the formation of clusters. Conclusion. The study determined that it is possible to form clusters for the classification of tourist routes based on people's preferences.
