This work describes a pedagogical experience of a new optical laboratory practice called Malus's Law, developed with easily acquired materials and two smartphones. The design, assembly and development of the practice are detailed, in order to analyze the impact that it caused on the students of the seventh cycle of the Career of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cuenca. An observation guide was used as an information collection instrument, which allowed us to conclude that doing a laboratory practice with Smartphones arouses the interest of students, eliminating the fear that they usually present when they use sophisticated experimental materials from a physics laboratory, Finally, it can be mentioned that the development of the experiment with smartphones induced the active participation of students, demonstrating the usefulness and need to include technology in learning processes.

The investigation allowed us evaluate the effects the application of GeoGebra to the students of Basica superior in the teaching of Matematicts Subject in order to solve reasoning problems and communicate matematicts. This study was done in two phases: the first one was the application of traditional teaching, in the second step, was use the software GeoGebra. At the end of each phase the respective evaluation was done to the educaters.  Its resuls after the use of GeoGebra were significative in the teaching of matematicts. The hermeneutics about this subject Starts from writing, comprehention and interpreting the concepts Writing in the texts and also the personal experiences of teachers in order to get a wide view about this subject. Finally the triangular between the theory, the author´s experiences and the results of the research concludes that: The moment the teacher innoves the ways of teaching Matematics, the students seems to learn in a better and fast way the objectives gave to them, and also the students are able to construct their own knoledge, this knoledge allows them to put into practics right away in the resolution of daily problems, by doing this they generate generate a significative learning concerning to matematicts in conexion with GeoGebra.

Google Classroom is a tool that allows you to quickly and easily manage educational processes, create classes, assign obligations, rate, send comments and have access to the entire educational process in one place. The objective was to develop classrooms in Google classroom for pedagogical management through digital environments. The methodology used was descriptive, collaborative, with the participation of 24 teaching students of the master's degree in education from the Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica del Ecuador. The result was the creation of classrooms following a didactic planning, where different resources were observed such as presentations of prezi, slideshare, videos of youtube and applications of gamification of educaplay. In conclusion, its use is demonstrated with advantages for students, where they are very participatory and immense in virtual environments, with different tools to work collaboratively.

This paper presents a didactic strategy used to improve the teaching-learning process of Kichwa in a bilingual intercultural school located on the Ecuadorian coast, where Kichwa is not spoken as a mother tongue. It is based on the principle expressed by Shobeiri (2016) that "...it has been observed that the learning and teaching of a language shows its creativity to the extent that it reveals cultural patterns that are equivalent or transferable to a particular language" (p. 664). To this end, popular stories collected in Spanish were identified and evaluated. Once translated into Kichwa, these stories were used in a sixth grade class of basic education for five weeks. To collect the folktales and assess their importance, ethnographic techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews, field diaries, and key informants were used. For the design of the didactic tools and the educational process, we used pedagogical techniques such as collaborative work in the classroom, popular narratives translated into Kichwa and adequate learning environments to give didactic-pedagogical use to the popular stories. These narratives were taken from legends, festivals and gastronomy in the teaching of a Kichwa closer to the students. The most important conclusion is that the contextualization of the teaching of a non-native language has positive effects.

The article presents a pedagogical experience about the project called "Zero Garbage" in the Dolores J. Torres Educational Institution. Its main objective was to build from the informal Environmental Education, an individual and collective conscience in the practicing teachers about the main problems of the environmental crisis. The project gives an answer to the research question: How to promote environmental practices that build an environmental conscience in all the members of the educational unit? To do this, it was necessary for the practicing teachers to disseminate their knowledge in each designated classroom.The project promotes an improvement and invites to expand the environmental friendly practices already implemented in the institution, such as the use of reusable plastic utensils for food consumption. The ecological footprint was detected in order to establish the problem called "2/4 of Trash", this analysis opened the project, which with the previous preparation of contents, consolidated an environmental conscience guided in the philosophy of Zero Trash; ending with an open house and the realization of murals. Finally, a set of pedagogical strategies was presented that allowed the proposed objective to be carried out; among them, conferences, debates, games and projects.  

El trabajo analiza, explora y recoge datos conceptuales y elementos artísticos y culturales urbanos, para el diseño y aplicación de estrategias didácticas para la sostenibilidad y fortalecimiento de la lengua y la cultura kichwa amazónica, mediante un proyecto artístico escolar que se ha implementado en el octavo grado de la Unidad Educativa Comunitaria Intercultural Bilingüe (UECIB) “Amauta Ñanpi”. Este proyecto artístico escolar se estructuró en cincos procesos metodológicos: diagnóstico, socialización implementación, desarrollo y reflexión, mismos que permitieron desarrollar el proyecto y obtener información oportuna en cuanto a la identificación, reconocimiento, valoración, fortalecimiento y consolidación de las prácticas artísticas y culturales presentes en el contexto escolar.

La parcial atención a la educación ambiental conlleva al deterioro del entorno natural. Las acciones de contingencia no son suficientes si no se logra formar una comunidad sensible ante el cuidado del medio ambiente, con el objeto de crear una convivencia solidaria entre personas y con la naturaleza; por lo cual, se aprovecha la transdisciplinariedad como la esencia para restaurar la unidad entre distintos saberes y, para entenderla, “es necesario salir de la visión clásica y positivista de la ciencia y aceptar una nueva y desafiante forma de ver a la realidad” (Dieleman, 2015, p.1). A través del paradigma socio-crítico y una investigación-acción participativa, se diseña, aplica y evalua una estrategia pedagógica con enfoque transdisciplinar para el desarrollo de la educación ambiental desde el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en la Unidad Educativa Zoila Aurora Palacios, que condujo al “reconocimiento de la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos” (Plan Nacional para el Buen Vivir, 2013, p.55). Como resultado se obtuvo una Institución Educativa organizada desde la transdisciplinariedad para el desarrollo de una educación en buenas prácticas medioambientales y pedagógicas asociadas con el aprendizaje de las matemáticas, presentadas por un diseño factible a ser reproducible y modificado en otros procesos pedagógicos de acuerdo a las necesidades del contexto escolar.

The present research analyzes the eating habits of students of Basic General Education of the sub elementary level, in schools located in the urban and rural areas. The study has a qualitative approach based on the action research method, which was developed with students between 6 and 8 years old. In addition, to obtain relevant data, an observation guide was developed that allowed the categorization of the collected information, as well as the use of field diaries that were relevant to record what was observed. The results were correlated with quality standards and objective 12 of sustainable development established by the UN. Thus, in the process, the responsibility of the members that conform the educational community was pointed out and at the same time the importance of having healthy habits in the first stages of life was verified, additionally social paradigms were broken regarding food in these two contexts. For all the above reasons, we propose an activity for students of Basic General Education that allows them to learn about the importance of healthy eating, to become aware of the sustainable consumption and production of food, and to promote healthy habits for their lives.

The present research work arises from the pre-professional practice linked to the realization of the degree project, considering the implementation of a didactic sequence based on the Singapore Method for the development of three statistical and probability skills in the ninth year of Basic General Education (41 students). For this purpose, a simple random non-probability sampling was used. The didactic sequence was developed in 9 periods of 40 minutes, in which work was proposed focused on the axes C - P - A (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) of the Singapore Method. In addition, qualitative (participant observation, documentary review and focus groups) and quantitative (pre and post-test) instruments were used. The results of the project are: pre-test 2.10/10 points, post-test 6.80/10 points; from the focus group and the review of information instruments, it is clear that the project promotes motivation, problem solving, active participation and the development of mathematical skills.

Se investigó la Incidencia de los ritmos musicales en la movilidad articular de los adultos mayores de la Ciudadela Hospitalaria, ubicada en el Cantón Rumiñahui, en el periodo abril – Agosto del 2016, como un medio terapéutico en la ayuda de movimientos básicos ya que la mayoría de estas personas en la actualidad se sujetan al sedentarismo, por eso esta investigación está establecida como un medio de ayuda al movimiento sabiendo que en la actualidad no se da mucha importancia al adulto mayor, para ello se planteó el problema a continuación, para que el anciano realice actividad física (movimientos articulares) con la ayuda de los ritmos musicales, con la finalidad de entender su pérdida o ganancia de ángulos de movimiento articular mediante los ritmos musicales.
