El objetivo del estudio fue conocer el uso de las redes sociales y su relación con el nivel de rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios de educación de la región andina de Perú. Corresponde al enfoque de investigación cuantitativa, del tipo descriptivo-correlacional, con el empleo de la técnica de la encuesta y el análisis de contenido. El marco teórico abarca las redes sociales y sus implicancias en la educación superior.  La población estuvo conformada por 325 estudiantes, de los cuales, por muestreo no probabilístico intencional, 71 conformaron la muestra. El procesamiento de datos se efectuó en software estadístico SPSS - 22.0.  Los resultados indican que existe una relación estadística (r=-0.342; p=0.004) en sentido negativo entre las variables estudiadas, esto es que, hay una disminución en el nivel de rendimiento académico cuanto más uso distractor se hace de las redes sociales, tanto Facebook® como WhatsApp®.

The research was based on the investigation of the preconceptions of particle dynamics in students who entered in 2018 (period 2) of the Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences Redesign of the ULEAM Extension Chone. The results of the research carried out by means of a diagnostic test are shown, as a way of projecting an estimate of the phenomenon in the national educational dimension. The problem of learning Newtonian concepts presents various difficulties that lead to conceptual errors. The population is 242 students and 36 students who entered the Pedagogy Redesign of Experimental Sciences were taken as a sample. Make a classification of topics on the preconceptions of the students in the theoretical framework. Through the analysis of preconceptions, I reveal the causes of conceptual errors to improve student learning. The objective to diagnose by means of a questionnaire to detect the conceptual errors of the students with respect to the dynamics of the particle. The research has a qualitative approach, because it allowed us to investigate, analyze and understand, and quantitative because it was based on the use of statistical techniques, it is documentary because it allowed the revision of texts and articles. The inductive and descriptive method was used. The applied technique was a questionnaire to perform the analysis and interpretation of the results of the preconceptions. In conclusion, the alternative preconceptions affect the concept of this and the need to analyze, improve and propose a teaching-learning model based on a conceptual change is observed.

Scientific production, through patents and scientific articles, is one of the most representative comparisons of research in universities in developed countries. Thus, scientific production in Latin America and the Caribbean is linked to the budget allocation of governments for this purpose. Therefore, the development of research is measured by the index of innovations, creativities and articles produced from the universities. Today, a high value is given to publications indexed in impact journals, because it means knowledge disseminated and endorsed by actors in the scientific community; also, the publication of books, chapters, high-level professional articles, published in prestigious media, is of great contribution. The outstanding countries in research in Latin America by 2021 are, in that order, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Cuba; recently appearing Ecuador, Uruguay and Peru. Latin America, thanks to some governments that have given budgetary support to research, the real development has begun. Therefore, public universities are the ones called to take on the challenge, based on the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the assignment to research and development is based on scientific production, the important thing has been to take the first step, to make ourselves this critical or rather self-critical analysis.

The objective of this research was to analyze whether the interaction time with the virtual platform by students of the Literature career at the University of Guayaquil is related to the connective knowledge worked by them. A quantitative, correlational research was developed, with a field design, non-experimental, cross-sectional, a questionnaire with 18 closed-response items was applied to 120 students, applying inferential, non-parametric statistics through the Chi-square statistic. As a result, it was found that there is a significant difference between the time of interaction with the virtual platform by the learners and the connective knowledge. It is concluded that the use of virtual platforms to achieve connective knowledge constitutes a favorable scenario to achieve it; However, it is important that competencies and skills are developed that allow useful information to be categorized, highlighting that knowledge transcends the individual level to adopt the collective.

This article descriptively explores the phenomenon of the second industrial revolution and its relationship with tuna fishing in the city of Manta, Ecuador. Manta became known as the world capital of tuna in the 20th century, and the transformations of this phenomenon can be seen from the major government constitution of San Pablo de Manta, until the origin and development of tuna fishing for export purposes. Methodologically we  have consulted cross sectorial sources, such as personal interviews, bibliographic and documentary sources, from different international, national and local archives.

The expansion and development processes experienced by large Latin American cities frequently precede those of planning and land use, implying ruptures or discontinuities between the needs of the population and the available public services, creating new democratic-cultural contexts where public space acquires new meanings and expectations to guarantee the quality of life of citizens through urban facilities such as parks. In this context, this study analyzes five urban parks in the city of Manta, applying an instrument aimed at knowing aspects of “use and preference” and “perception of quality”. The results address the level of user satisfaction in quality aspects of the park.

Trinidad, the third of the towns founded in Cuba, declared together with its nearby Valle de los Ingenios Cultural Heritage of Humanity, treasures a rich built heritage of great value, and its historic center is one of the best preserved of the Hispanic colonization in America. From the last two decades of the 20th century, tourism replaced agriculture as its main economic line. This article partially summarizes the results of an investigation aimed at examining the characteristics of the tourism that is received in the territory, its motivations and interests, which will allow decision makers to promote improvement actions around the heritage values ??of the city and the conditioning of its coastal areas, since cultural tourism and the sun and beach modality constitute the central axes of current demand.
