To interpret reality and obtain reliable results, scientifi c research needs to have a valid method so that the data are consistent and explain a phenomenon or study problem. In this sense, the objective was to continue reviewing and disseminating health-related articles published in the Diario El Comercio, Lima, Peru. It was found that newspapers play an important role in disseminating news related to health due to their accessibility because, in many cases, they learn about medical treatments through them. In this sense, health news should be taken from reliable sources to contribute to people's adequate information.

The aim of this study is to explore the concept of action-research and trace its use in educational contexts. To achieve this, both the concepts and theoretical presuppositions of this approach are described. Also, the difference between natural sciences and social sciences are described, for it was the origin of the action research approach, mentioning the theoretical contributions of Lewin, Adorno and Habermas. Finally, an assessment of the application of such a perspective in educational environments is presented. Keywords: Action research – education – social sciences

The purpose of the study was to evaluate research training for prospective and methodological learning in university students. The study was developed in April 2019 with students from the 10th cycle of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, belonging to the National University "San Luis Gonzaga", Ica-Peru. The trainin course "Thesis project and scientifi c research thesis for university students" was considered. The population sample was of 18 university students, and through non-probability sampling, by convenience (afternoons: Tuesday and Thursday), the number of attendance was measured, while the research training (FI) was measured on Thursday afternoon. The percentage of progress in the methodological structure of the thesis project was considered, where the following was established as a nominal qualitative criterion FOR the latter indicator: effi cient FI (100-85%), regular FI (84-75%), poor FI (less than 75%). For each day, a percentage of progress of the training course was indicated, and although only one student was absent, there was a statistically significant difference (t = -95.82) when compared to Tuesday (94.44 %) and Thursday (100%). According to the percentage of the advancement of the thesis project's methodological criteria, the FI was efficient since 15 students out of 18 complied with the established (83.33%). It is concluded that investigative training requires assistance during training and being offered by the teacher, dosed topics that allow the development and understanding of concepts and procedures.

This investigation aimed to evaluate the hermeneutics of methodological criteria in the research training of university teachers. The study was conducted from February to March 2020 at the National University ¨San Luis Gonzaga¨ in Ica, Peru. Eight university teachers were selected from a random probabilistic sample, considering learning through evaluations related to four methodological criteria: 1) operationalized variable selection to be investigated, 2) scientifi c research approach to be seeking, 3) recognized methodological structure, and 4) potential values of interpretation for scientifi c research. Five evaluation points were assigned to each criterion, and three categories of punctuation intervals were recognized: 1) 12-14, 2) 15-17, and 3) 18-20 being the latter an excellent value. These values were evaluated simultaneously using a psycho-labor test of speed and scale test of conceptual identifi cation using the correspondence between columns. The average result was 15.16 points for university teachers, which was described as a low grade where no statistically signifi cant differences were found (F = 4.02; P = 0.05). The result was considered in the category of the non-excellence score. The percentages obtained for scientific writing and cognitive interpretation were low: 32.5% and 25.0%, respectively. It was concluded that the hermeneutics of methodological criteria in the research training of university teachers presented certain deficiencies and that revision of conceptual instructions is required to further contribute to the development of learning in university teachers.

The authors of this work have been doing for a long time a synchronic study of emerging language phenomena that have become socially recurrent, up to the point of being stereotyped. This situation is also in Medical College from Villa Clara, Cuba, whose professionals, of course, are part of it. Hence, the objective is: to analyze some harmful and recurrent phenomena in current professional language. There were applied mainly the theoretical methods of analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction; besides, the empirical methods of observation and document review. Along with it, the systematic exchange with professionals of the Institution has been useful. The most signifi cant phenomena detected are: indiscriminate dividing of the noun in male and female genders ―welcome…―, tendency to verbalization of nouns and adjectives ―to open (opening); to make negative (negative)…―; inadequate syntactic fragmentation of verbal periphrases of infi nitive ―to say that…, to highlight that…―. These facts contribute, in the fi rst two cases, to increase stereotyped verbosity and, in the third, to logic rupture of expression omitting the auxiliary verb and use only the infi nitive ―somewhat similar to aboriginal language―. In short, the analyzed phenomena are very harmful in social communication; but, what is more, in university professionals speaking, who unconscious and gradually worsen their expression. This contradicts the rules and characteristics of scientific language and the style of their professional language image. Keywords: professional language ‒ recurrent, noxious phenomena ‒ stereotype

This research describes the ad hoc normative regulation in multifamily buildings applied in the Magdalena del Mar district, Lima, Peru, which allowed us to have a current look at how the urban planning legislation for the interior of the district was being structured, which in recent years the municipal administration and previous periods, decided to carry out management with a vision from generating a real estate, economic and pro-investor dynamics, the result of which was evidenced in the increase in the value of the lot per m2, mainly linked to the "maximum height ”and consequently to the generation of“ real estate capital gains ”. It was important to address the subject since there were no similar investigations in Peru, and, therefore, it clarifi ed various paradigms regarding the principles of order and disorder, growth, development and urban transformation over time, presented in the population, in professionals of diverse specialties in the matter, journalists, authorities, civil servants and others; that by relating them to "urban law" as a source for the construction of the theoretical framework, a specialty not fully developed, contributed positive results to the deduction of the proposed management.

The investigative work presents a system of actions to carry out fi eld work with an integrative character and with an ecosystem approach and confronting climate change in the Bachelor of Education career Biology-Geography in Cuba, to enhance the future professional performance of graduates, by promoting Environmental Education and sustainable development in the centers of this level of education for the terminal years in the selected fi eld practice polygons. The diagnosis was made to determine the diffi culties that affect fi eld work realization in an integrative way. To mitigate the diffi culties detected, the system of actions whose contribution to the theory is given in its conception is proposed where the interaction between its components allows fulfilling the social order exposed in the professional model. The components that make up the system are: a theoretical block made up of the work of the professors and students cabinet; a practical block that includes the procedures for carrying out the actions and a conclusions block where the interrelation between theory and practice is corroborated. It shows the systematization and updating of new content in correspondence with the updating of the foundations of environmental education and the requirements for using the system. The system is submitted to experts' criteria declaring it pertinent and is put into practice from the academic year 2018 - 2019 with excellent results.

One of the computer applications used internationally is the interactive platform Moodle for being open source and free distribution. The research presented aims to focus on the problem of rejection by Physics in 1st year students of the Regular Day Course of the Bachelor of Education-Biology career, at the Faculty of Secondary Education of the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas, Cuba, which is why the forums were used from the virtual learning environment, developed on the Moodle platform in the subject "Physics Topics" during the academic years 2017-2020, in support of the teaching-learning process of the subject in the face-to-face mode. In the research carried out, various theoretical and empirical methods were used. To collect the information, participant observation, analysis of testimonies, discussion and refl ection groups, evaluation records, in-depth interviews, and a diary were used, as well as methods of processing the information collected, both intellectual and statistical. The forums prepared were subjected to evaluation by expert criteria. The information obtained was analyzed following the triangulation process, which showed that the forums had a favorable impact on the students' results in their learning and on the increase in motivation for the subject. The use of forums reveals novel results that provide solutions from different angles, particularly the virtual classroom.

Translation of scientifi c writing constitutes a diffi culty at Medical College from Villa Clara, Cuba; mainly, in spelling, lexical and syntactic levels: misuse of foreign words, articles, prepositions, and overuse of passive voice and gerund. Thus, a postgraduate course directed to these professionals was designed to eradicate such defi ciencies; therefore, the authors intend to show its results. Theoretical methods were applied: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction and empirical ones: observation of the course development and a broad document review of scientifi c abstracts written by Cubans and foreigners related to Health. Consequently, the results were very favorable; 12 out of 15 students were good graded, and three were excellent. Moreover, these revealed constructive opinions about the course using PNI technique (positive, negative, interesting). It can be highlighted that six of the students were graded with four and fi ve in the English exercise for teaching rank; likewise, four of them could publish their scientifi c results in important journals. Finally, this experience contributed to students’ refl ection and strengthened their skills in translating scientifi c texts, which evidence the course's effectiveness.
