Nowadays, teachers must modify their methodological strategies based on the basic functioning of the learner's brain. Therefore, the main question of this research is generated in what meanings emerge from the lived experience of Elementary General Basic Education (EGB) teachers, regarding the application of neurodidactics as a mechanism for improving the teaching-learning praxis? For which, the main objective was to understand the meanings that emerge from the lived experience of Elementary General Basic Education (EGB) teachers, in relation to what was commented as part of the initial question. In turn, four objectives related to multiple intelligences, methodological and neuroeducational strategies used by the teaching team in their educational praxis were derived. The methodology was based on the qualitative approach, obtaining favorable points in the application of neurodidactics in education, for all ages. As part of the conclusions, it was determined that this new pedagogical tool is at the forefront of education, because it is designed for each learner's ability. Thus, it gives the opportunity to work on the same topics of the curriculum established by the Ministry of Education.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a transition from a face-to-face education model to a purely virtual one, for which the implementation of virtual classrooms became essential. This was a challenge in the subject of physical education, since it was developed exclusively in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, the objective of this research was to implement and evaluate a virtual classroom in Moodle, using a series of ICT tools to promote learning in the aforementioned subject. The methodology used consisted in the design of a virtual classroom based on the pedagogical model of constructivism and supported by the methodological strategy of ERCA (Experience, Reflection, Construction and Application), supported by digital tools and a subsequent evaluation through a student survey. As part of the results, it was determined that 68.6% have a laptop or computer and 85.7% have Internet at home. In turn, it was determined that 85.2% considered that the virtual classroom used and all its components contributed significantly to the learning of physical education, reducing sedentary lifestyles and inserting physical activities in their daily routine.

Currently, online educational environments mediated by technologies have developed innovation environments in pedagogical processes that facilitate student learning, the present research aims to measure the impact of the use of disruptive technologies in the process of learning. Teaching and learning of online UTM careers online. In order to integrate these innovations to Higher Education centers, and to provide new mechanisms for the construction of meanings. As for the study, it starts from an exploratory and descriptive intention of knowing in depth the problem in the teaching and learning process in educational practice, where the quantitative methodology of a non-experimental nature was applied. On the other hand, in the results, it is observed that 80% of the participants gave a corresponding rating to very satisfactory. This shows that the participants perceive better learning when implementing digital applications and collaborative platforms in the development of real-time practices, disagreeing with concerns. Research suggests that digital tools like Google Docs, Quizizz, and Flipgrid are useful learning tools in their adaptation to encourage interaction and retention of online learning.

Changes in family, academic and social dynamics that have occurred in the last year have had a significant impact on the behavior of children and adolescents. It has been observed not only the change in the behavior of children and adolescents, often making them angrier or sad, but also the presence of anxious and depressive signs, even reaching situations that have put at risk the integrity of children and adolescents.

As part of the conclusions it was evidenced that adolescents have had several psychosocial problems in their lives that have affected their academic performance, so a series of alternatives are proposed to adequately develop their life project.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the impact caused by COVID-19 on various independent professionals working in the department of Maldonado (Uruguay), whether they were able to work as before or not, and the ways in which they managed to overcome the pandemic that affects the world. According to the above, it is established to study local and global news on the various economic, financial, tax and labor measures addressed in Uruguay, specialized bibliography on self-employment and professional branding; to try to understand the various facets that generated the same situation, the reactions of these and ways to overcome the crisis caused by the coronavirus. As part of the conclusions, different behaviors are visualized in the face of the same emergency, which is given by the measures, by the closure of various public agencies, suspension of activities and ways of performing the work.

This study is based on the weaknesses presented by the instructors in the research line of the Virtual Marketing program of the Center for Management of Markets, Logistics and Information Technologies of the National Learning Service in the regional Bogotá in Colombia, when teaching their activities in the virtual classroom. This study is based on the question: How to design creative digital taxonomies as a pedagogical strategy for the development of research skills in instructors of the National Learning Service in Colombia? With the purpose of designing creative digital taxonomies as a pedagogical strategy for the development of specific skills in the classroom. Under a mixed methodology and a type of correlational descriptive study with a quasi-experimental design and the application of pret test / post test evaluation instruments, for data collection and analysis, accompanied by a pedagogical intervention with the support of the Geneally tool and a “Learning landscape” with five work sessions. The results showed that, by implementing the pedagogical strategy with creative digital taxonomies and information and communication technologies, the instructors of the Marketing program acquire permanent investigative skills, which allows them to abound in the training of their students in the virtual classroom.

Older adults are a priority group protected by the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, and therefore, state actions should be oriented to their protection in order to improve their quality of life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they were the human group most affected by this virus, so the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the level of State protection of the rights of the elderly in the town of Tisaleo. The methodology applied was quantitative with a descriptive approach and a field research modality, the population was the elderly people of the canton of Tisaleo in the Province of Tungurahua and under a non-probabilistic sampling, 80 elderly adults aged 65 years and older were selected. Among the main results were that 75% had a bad economy during the pandemic, 100% had basic services such as water and electricity, 85% had poor health, 45% suffered from arthritis and arthrosis, most respondents ate 3 times a day, 100% had no leisure activities, among other results.

The use of technological resources is important in descriptive geometry classes, since it is difficult to explain three-dimensional figures on a blackboard that is a plane. In this sense, the objective of this study was to develop descriptive geometry classes with the use of a software simulator and to evaluate the results of the incorporation of this resource. For this purpose, two classes were designed using the GeoEnZo simulator software and plastic education as support for the class. Then, a survey was made to 39 students of a university degree in mathematics education about the use of the simulator software for descriptive geometry classes. The students indicated that their college teachers used the blackboard and the geometric game to develop the classes, and they worked on sheets of paper. Meanwhile, in the classes where the simulator software was used, the teacher's explanation was much better in relation to understanding the topics and learning descriptive geometry. In addition, they indicated that the software simulator allowed them to solve and draw more quickly, and that it improved the presentation of their drawings. As part of the conclusions, it is determined that the use of technological resources in the classroom helps to improve the students' spatial understanding, and therefore, to achieve quality learning.

Cognitive impairment and depression are common conditions during aging and may be associated with age, however, several studies indicate that they usually occur together and the coexistence of these two pathologies decrease the quality of life in the elderly.
