The title of this issue Education, learning and otherness is due, in the first place, to the reflection provided by the Spanish pedagogue Pedro Ortega Ruiz, member of the Quality Committee of the Ibero-American Network of Pedagogy, Redipe, on the presence of ethics and anthropology in education, proposing a new approach in education, a discourse that brings pedagogy out of routine and fatigue that always repeats the same. He states that anthropology and ethics go through educational action from beginning to end; that education, like ethics, is an encounter with the other that demands welcome and recognition from the authority of the vulnerability of his face. On the other hand, the bulk of the articles that the magazine involves include the learning processes, an area of ​​education that cannot be strengthened without the eventual annealing of the other.

Anthropology and ethics go through educational action from beginning to end. They are their necessary references. Education, like ethics, is an encounter with the other that demands welcome and recognition from the authority of the vulnerability of its face.  All educational action, like the ethical response, is unique, original and unrepeatable, so it is never extrapolated to other individuals or situations. It constitutes a new birth, the beginning of something new. This requires not only a different way of thinking about education, but also a different way of putting it into practice, a new practice. This is found in the narration of the life experience of each student not only the most appropriate strategy, but the very content of the educational action. The beginning of something new, the birth of a new creature are the figures that best describe education as an act and as a process. 

The content of the Physics Courses and in particular the electromagnetism course is presented in isolation, as subjects without any interaction and little contextualized with their professional profile and with the technological advances of today's society. In search of improving the teaching of the general Electromagnetism course in the Engineering and Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cesar, the ECINAMA Educational Sciences in Natural Sciences and Mathematics research group, with its FIEDUSICO Y PENSAGEO research seedbeds, they proposes a teaching of Physics and Mathematics through contextualized situations, with the purpose that students apply the knowledge and skills associated with situations, such as the operation of a cell phone charger. In this research, the first phase of the knowledge associated with the aforementioned situation is presented, through the general problem: How does a cell phone charger work? The operation of a cell phone charger has the following: transformation, rectification, filtering and regulation. The study presents the electromagnetic knowledge associated with the transformation process performed by a single-phase reducing transformer of a cell phone charger. The methodological design followed in this research consisted of: characterizing the type of transformer of most cell phone chargers, and identifying the electromagnetic phenomena present in its operation and determining the school knowledge that explains the phenomena presented.

  The educational institutions have the purpose of contributing to the improvement of the living conditions of society. That is why this manuscript aims to analyze the perception of the training and business community, of an entrepreneurial teaching model offered by an educational institution, which leads to reflection and strengthening in this emphasis. The research was theoretically based on the epistemology of entrepreneurship and the laws governing technical secondary education in Colombia and business training, these are: Law 115 of 1994, Law 1014 of 2006 and Guidelines 39 and 21 of the Ministry of National Education (MEN) For its realization, a mixed approach was chosen, with quantitative predominance and descriptive scope. Information collection was obtained through the survey technique, administered to students, graduates, parents, teachers and teachers; and the interview technique through representatives of the productive sector. Among the most significant results, is that technical training and entrepreneurship generate an added and differential value compared to other types of education.

The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between Family Satisfaction, Depression and Academic Performance in adolescents of a Secondary Educational Institution of Huánuco. The type of research is non-experimental and responds to the Transectional Design of the Correlational type. The total population was 593, for which the probabilistic sampling of the stratified type was carried out in which a sample of 234 adolescents of the 4th and 5th year of secondary school was obtained to whom the “Family Satisfaction Scale”, Inventory of Depression of Beck-II adaptation Huanuqueña (BDI-AH) and for the Academic Performance the registration of registration and the report of grades were considered. Likewise, for the data analysis the statistical package SPSS was used, through which to test the specific hypotheses, the Chi-square test statistic was used, so with a probability of error of 0.0% there is a significant relationship , so the null hypothesis is rejected and the research hypothesis is accepted. Coming to the conclusion that there is a significant relationship between family satisfaction, depression and academic performance in adolescents of a Secondary Educational Institution - Huánuco.  

This research aims to develop a dental record form for use in forensic investigations. An exploratory, descriptive and correlational, cross-sectional, non-experimental and field study was conducted. As data collection techniques, the observation was applied and its instruments were the checklist and the medical records of which the consistency of the filling was analyzed, other technique used with the questionnaire as an instrument was used. The study population consisted of 150 students from which a sample of 108 was chosen. Results indicate that the information register in the clinical record was moderately satisfactory in the intraoral data section (60.2%), the extraoral data not satisfactory (51.9%), the registration of complementary exams with unsatisfactory of (63%) as they presented weaknesses in the filling of all these sections. In this way, on the basis of the results obtained in the evaluations, it was possible to determine characteristics and data suitable for the implementation of a dental record sheet applicable in forensic investigations.

Students of the Systems Engineering Career in their learning process must develop skills that allow them to exercise activities in the professional field. A transversal axis of every career is the inclusion of people with disabilities. With the Disabilities Law and the Labor Code in force in Ecuador that require the labor inclusion of people with disabilities, systems professionals have the responsibility of making inclusion effective and providing all the necessary tools to facilitate work autonomy in equal rights in the different Jobs. This article describes how the students of the Systems Engineering Career perceive the strengthening of their professional competences towards inclusion in their teaching-learning process.

This article studies the configuration of the aesthetics of the absurd in Todos estábamos a la espera (1954) and Los cuentos de Juana (1972), storybooks by Alvaro Cepeda Samudio. From the first critical approach of the absurd, formulated by Martin Esslin, this article analyzes its different categories and adds others that are characteristic of this aesthetic. These works deal with seemingly independent stories developed in everyday spaces. However, and directed by a different path to the traditional one, it mixes in them some elements that are part of the literature of the absurd as the nonsense, the grotesque and the dreamlike. These components will be the principle of analysis to the works of this writer

The intention of this study is to analyze the relationship between reading comprehension and students’ ability to identify media bias in written press.  The participants for this study were sixty EFL students from a language department of an Ecuadorian university.  There was no random assignment of participants to the control and experimental groups.  Information was obtained from a questionnaire by Browne and Keeley (2004).  Data was coded manually, and the outcomes showed no significant improvement in students’ ability to identify media bias referred to the variable “time”.  Also, there was no significance in the interaction of the variable “time” and the variable “group”, and there was little difference in the two times the test was taken by both groups.   

The topic of education opens a range of possibilities for discussion; to this day, it never ceases to amaze us with adaptations and new reforms. About indigenous education, the picture becomes complex, as the institutionalization of education was designed for a non-indigenous monolingual population, following the patterns of a system that forces us to see education as a step to achieve human and social development. This research investigated and analyzed how the study population, upper middle indigenous women, are perceived and built within the education process.
