The purpose of this research was to determine the motivation towards reading in English in general middle school students of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The methodology used was non-experimental, with a transversal design. The population consisted of 200 students. The technique used for data collection was the survey with a questionnaire as an instrument directed to the students.  The statistical software SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used for the analysis of the information collected, which employs regression models, advanced data reduction models, trend analysis, set analysis, and missing values analysis. Once the results were obtained and analyzed, it was found that the students surveyed had a low level of motivation when reading in English, the main cause was the lack of interest in learning this foreign language, as well as the little use of interactive strategies to encourage reading.

The 1930s marked the beginning of women's participation in public life in Honduras, with the emergence of the suffragette and anti-state protest movements, and in 1955 women’s citizenship rights were won. Among women's collectives, sex workers are a group usually ignored by national historiography, relegated to the status of a subaltern group whose immoral practices have had to be regulated by a benevolent State. This article has highlighted the role that prostitutes played in the society of the 1930s in Honduras, with a focus on their role as sex workers in an economy and state that was adverse to them. For this purpose, data from the Identification Register published by the Research Department of the National Police Station in the Police Magazine have been used, in the period from 1935 to 1936. Based on the information, the work and lifestyle of prostitutes are discussed, placing them as active agents -although persecuted and discriminated against by Honduran society. The data processing has been carried out quantitatively, while its analysis has followed the proposals of social history.

In the academic literature there is a position that rural and indigenous regions that expel labor to larger urban regions tend to generate processes of income inequality. Based on that premise, the rural areas of Quintana Roo, Mexico, if they typically expel labor to regions such as the Riviera Maya and Costa Maya, it has begun to generate the gaps pointed out in the theory. For this purpose, we analyzed the social conditions modules of the Mexican National Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2000 – 2018 (Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto 2000 – 2018 de los Hogares de México, ENIGH). With such data, the Gini coefficient in rural households was estimated and the Lorenz curve was plotted to illustrate the levels of inequality and accumulation. Among the most important results is the fact that rural households in Quintana Roo escape the theoretical postulates, since they showed a slight decrease in inequality during the studied period.  

The objective of this research was to understand the coherence between the discourses and evaluative practices of university authorities and teachers in the Systems Engineering Major 2012-2017, at Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI).This study was conducted based on the qualitative paradigm, the approach of Symbolic Interactionism. Methodologically, the case study, content analysis, and interview methods were used. The techniques used were documentary analysis and semi-structured individual interviews. For this purpose, the institutional and oral discourses of the informants were analyzed based on the theories of learning assessment. One of the findings refers that the official written discourse of learning assessment in the major is based only on institutional and career regulations. The existing documents are complementary nonetheless do not coincide in their discursive content. On the other hand, the oral discourse shows that the informants, for the most part, have knowledge of learning assessment based on their own experience. The results identify that there is no coherence between the institutional written discourse and the oral discourse of the informants, on the evaluation of learning in the Systems Engineering Major, showing that both discourses have a shared meaning that is located in a behaviorist perspective of evaluation.

The University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast (URACCAN) needed education spaces for students, a property known as Laboratorio Natural Jerusalén was acquired. The degradation of the forest, soil, and water resources, as a result of logging, slashing and burning to which it had been subjected, generated the idea of implementing a Life Plan that included ecological restoration.Almost 13 years after the beginning of this process, the decision was made to evaluate the progress in the consolidation of ecological restoration, using the 11 aspects proposed by Vargas et al. (2012).The information corresponding to the period between 2017 – 2021 was valued and through documentary review, a retrospective study was conducted and the data were processed using a checklist and statistical functions of Microsoft Excel. The study shows the willingness of URACCAN, to continue promoting and contributing to the protection of natural resources and love for Mother Earth, as well as continuing in a relevant way in the integral formation of the student body that is part of the university community, which includes, public health, food and nutritional security and sovereignty, protection and animal welfare that ensure biodiversity as the fundamental basis of life

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 represented for the school important changes in the way of approaching and conducting its pedagogical proposal, which made it necessary to reflect on learning for life and the construction of new citizenships. The methodology is the result of an analysis, interpretation and documentary synthesis of texts produced during the pandemic that contributed to the understanding of the challenges generated in the post-pandemic period. The school is proposed as a scenario that transcends the transmission of knowledge towards a citizenship that learns for life, in the context.  The importance of recognizing the social processes generated around the school is highlighted as an opportunity to strengthen relations with the community and from there, to configure an educational proposal that improves the conditions of the context in which it carries out its pedagogical action.   Finally, it emphasizes the importance of the educational act in the undertaking of a citizen transformation oriented in the principles of equity and social justice, as a contribution to the construction of critical, democratic and participative citizenships, co-responsible with the communities and open to otherness
