From studies carried out in Cienfuegos, there has been weakness in the gender perspective in the sciences related to Information and Communication Technologies, in addition the incorporation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics careers is insufficient. Therefore, a project has been designed that has as one of its tasks to identify, from the gender perspective, elements that characterize the academic reality of the teaching of programming at the University of Cienfuegos "Carlos Rafael Rodríguez". The communication reports the results of the quantitative-descriptive research carried out that aimed to describe the academic performance in the subjects related to programming, from a gender perspective, in those enrolled in the 2016-2017 academic year and that culminated in 2022 in the Computer Engineering career, from the answer to the questions: In the first five subjects related to programming, do the results of men show any difference compared to that of women? And what is the result of the analysis of the graduation of women with respect to men at the end of the fifth year of the career? The analysis of documents was used as a fundamental method, as well as statistical descriptors such as percentage and medians. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed that women have a lower academic performance than male students, however, the percentage of graduation of women was higher than men.

The development of orthographic competence, as a singular component of the teaching-learning of spelling, remains fully valid today, since people in a general sense, and adolescents specifically, present countless writing errors from the first school grades to professional level, which affect the communication process. The objective of this article is to disseminate the main findings of the research carried out at the high school level in the Dominican Republic to transform this reality. The research approach was qualitative, from the application of a systematization of experiences of its main author, enriched with other methods of the theoretical and empirical levels. The results showed different regularities based on the analysis of the declared essential categories: teaching-learning of spelling, development of spelling competence and playful approach. The contradiction that exists between the insufficient development of orthographic competence in the students of the selected sample and their perceptions about it was demonstrated. The main scientific result was a methodology with a playful approach for the development of orthographic competence, which is applicable to different contexts, if it is adapted to existing conditions. This methodology considers the existing theoretical references, related to the teaching-learning of spelling, which, it could be determined, did not manage to organically integrate the needs, interests, and motivations of secondary level students.

The objective analysis of the initial and continuous professional training of workers in today's world faces a series of challenges, among others, achieving the availability of graduates who are competent to fulfill the functions inherent to the work object of their profession.
