The automotive industry in Mexico is one of the activities with the greatest participation in the economy, generating a high leve lof employment among the community. In this work, base don INEGI data (2021), a market análisis is carried out to determine the quantitative participation of the Nissan industry in the country´s economy. In particular, when considering future prices for the end of 2021 that are between 219,900 and 304,900, an economic well-being between 84 million pesos and 294 million is generated in the Nissan industry. Although the análisis serves to show the importance of the automotive industry in GDP, due to the amount of employment that is generated, it would be necessary to incorpórate factors such as: taxes, competitive prices, gasolina prices, government support, among others, which alter this surplus.

Abstract Gamification: Methodological strategy for literacy skill development The inadequate use of gamification strategies in educational environments limits the correct performance of children in reading and writing skills; therefore, this research addresses the contribution of gamification strategies in the development of reading and writing skills. The work was based on a descriptive qualitative-quantitative approach, applying the instruments of an interview to an expert, a survey to 25 teachers and an observation rubric to 40 third grade students. Analytical, deductive and statistical methods were used to collect and process information. The results showed that by implementing gamification, the learning of reading and writing is at a satisfactory level; however, its implementation is scarce in the educational practice of the teachers under study. In fact, gamification strategies applied to the reading and writing skills generate a positive impact, allowing the teacher to increase attention and motivation in the learning process of the students, valuing their effort and generating an environment conducive to teamwork, so it is necessary that the educator is immersed in the digital context to raise their skills.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is developed from scientific advances that occur in the field of computing. It is used in educational methodologies. The purpose of this article is to analyze the use of ICT in the conservation of the flora and fauna of the environment of the students of Basic Middle of the General Educational Unit Eloy Alfaro de Chone. It is presented under a quantitative approach where descriptive aspects are identified to determine the importance that teachers give to ICT in teaching classes related to the conservation of flora and fauna. The results obtained show that the use of ICT in education provides teachers with tools that allow them to improve their professional practice regarding the content they present on the environment and its conservation in Natural Sciences classes. It is concluded that technological means could be applied in other subjects at the basic education level to transform and complement the teaching-learning process. This study has practical implications for the time that the educational process is going through with the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to increase action against the problems of caring for flora and fauna, and also comprehensive training of children and young people.

La presente investigación se basa en la estrategia de aprendizaje para fomentar la lectura comprensiva, a través de herramientas digitales en estudiantes de octavo año básico de la UEF “Rocke Cantos Barberán” del cantón Montecristi de la provincia de Manabí – Ecuador; los objetivos plantearon: a) analizar desde el punto de vista teórico, las diversas definiciones dadas por varios autores sobre estrategias de aprendizaje, lectura comprensiva y herramientas digitales para el fomento de la lectura en los estudiantes de 11 a 12 años; b) diagnosticar las dificultades en la lectura comprensiva de los estudiantes de octavo año básico y, c) diseñar estrategias de aprendizaje basadas en la utilización de herramientas digitales que fomenten la lectura comprensiva en los estudiantes. La investigación es de tipo aplicada, cualitativa con la aplicación del método inductivo y deductivo, empleando las técnicas de la entrevista a cinco docentes, dos directivos y la encuesta a siete estudiantes. Los resultados demuestran que el 71,4% de los estudiantes encuestados mencionaron que los docentes rara vez utilizan los recursos necesarios para incentivarlos a leer comprensivamente; mientras que el 85,7% de la misma población estudiada indicó que los docentes ocasionalmente ofrecen opciones a elegir para el desarrollo de la lectura comprensiva en el aula; un resultado poco usual aparece con el 28,6% del universo de estudiantes, resaltó que siempre, a menudo y, rara vez utilizan herramientas digitales como recurso para leer en casa, evidenciando la carencia de desarrollar estrategias de aprendizaje, para fomentar la lectura comprensiva en los estudiantes objeto del estudio; el 71,4% de estudiantes manifestó que siempre colaboraría con la institución en la implementación de estas estrategias en el aula de clases, concluyendo así, la oportunidad de diseñar nuevas estrategias de aprendizajes con la utilización de herramientas digitales que mejoren la lectura comprensiva y rendimiento en los estudiantes.

La innovación de la Tecnología de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), es uno de los ámbitos de la ciencia más cambiantes y dinámicos en el mundo, que han incrementado exponencialmente las posibilidades de las organizaciones para alcanzar sus propósitos corporativos, sin embargo, se mantiene la duda sobre el uso óptimo de este potencial ya que en el sector público es percibido como un ente anclado a los procesos burocráticos. El objetivo de esta investigación es levantar una línea base sobre la infraestructura tecnológica y los servicios de Tecnología de Información (TI) que poseen las entidades públicas de la provincia de Manabí. La metodología utilizada en este estudio corresponde al método descriptivo, el cual permitió definir, clasificar, catalogar y caracterizar el objeto de estudio. Para ello fue necesario realizar el respectivo levantamiento de información en las instituciones públicas, considerando como objeto de estudio a las entidades públicas de la provincia de Manabí en Ecuador, caracterizando los servicios de tecnologías de información que estas poseen. Los resultados demuestran que, de las 149 entidades públicas a nivel de esta provincia, solo el 25 % cuenta con un departamento de tecnología. Se concluye que la infraestructura tecnológica en las organizaciones públicas de Manabí se apoya en procesos de administración, políticas y metodologías que permiten el correcto planteamiento y configuración al interior de cada institución con procesos de control y monitoreo de cara para evitar fallos, reforzar la seguridad y garantizar la calidad de los servicios esperados.

La presente Investigación, parte de los conceptos de sistema de gestión de la calidad mediante la normativa ISO 9001:2015 y con ello los procesos de vinculación con la sociedad educativa, partiendo de un diagnóstico inicial que parte del desconocimiento de la comunidad educativa del Instituto Superior Universitario Portoviejo ITSUP, en estas temáticas. El objetivo del presente estudio abordó temas teóricos relacionados con el sistema de gestión de la calidad bajo las normas ISO 9001:2015 y los procesos de vinculación con la sociedad. La metodología de estudio es de tipo cualitativo, descriptivo, cuantitativo, se lo realizó durante el año 2021, para ello se aplicaron métodos teóricos como el análisis-síntesis, inductivo-deductivo; enmarcado en los sistemas de gestión de calidad que aplica el ITSUP en los procesos de vinculación. Como resultado global partiendo de las encuestas realizadas en la investigación se identificaron que existe un desconocimiento por parte de nuestro grupo de interés en la investigaciones relacionados con normas internacionales de calidad e implementaciones de sistemas de gestión de la calidad, donde se evidencia el ciclo Deming, del PHVA (Planificar, Hacer, Verificar y Actuar), mientras que temas relacionados con sistemas de calidad basados en seis sigmas han recibido poca atención, concluyendo así que es importante la descripción de los procesos de vinculación con la sociedad aplicando las normas ISO 9001:2015 para así brindar un servicio que garantice la calidad de sus resultados planteados.
