This research is interested in topics of vital importance in the study of Mathematics. Therefore, it is necessary to describe how is the level of knowledge that students have about the location of ordered pairs in the Cartesian plane with natural numbers, and thus propitiate a quality education for students. It will be developed through a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental design and with a descriptive research scope; with a non-probabilistic sample of 15 students of the 6th grade of EGB of the Julio Moreno Espinosa Educational Unit, randomly selected. Likewise, for the collection of information, a survey will be used as a technique and the application of a questionnaire as an evaluation instrument. The results will show the level at which the students are at, based on each indicator and in general. Therefore, the proposal will achieve a high impact on students, making them raise their school performance, i.e., going from an average level to a high level. In this way, we can mention that the implementation of didactic activities favors teachers to work in a more dynamic and active way, and students to visualize learning from a different point of view, specifically in mathematics.

Appreciate concert music as a musical typology over time and its consolidation due to its aesthetic values, as opposed to fashionable music and other short-lived compositions; constitutes a challenge for the new generations. From this initial assessment, the article sets as its objective: to present a didactic model that contributes to the teaching-learning process for the appreciation of concert music, in the 2nd year students of the Artistic Education career. As the methodological basis of the research, the general dialectical-materialist method was assumed and methods of the theoretical, empirical and statistical-mathematical level were used, such as: historical-logical, modeling, systemic-structural functional, documentary analysis, observation, interview, and pedagogical test. The main results were in the didactic model, which is based on the determination of the new relationships that are established between the didactic components that intervene in the teaching-learning process for the appreciation of concert music, from a developer didactics and its link with teaching, extra-teaching and extra-curricular activity, as well as with appreciation levels. These relationships enrich the didactics of Musical Education, offering coherence and internal logic.

This article investigates the curricular rationales present in the learning objectives and evaluation indicators belonging to "Unit 2: The voyages of discovery and the conquest of America" of the 5th grade History, Geography and Social Sciences Study Program, prepared by the Chilean Ministry of Education (Mineduc). This research was carried out from an interpretative phenomenological paradigm and used content analysis to systematically review the section of the consigned curricular document, based on the three types of existing curricular rationales: technical, praxeological and critical. These curricular perspectives allow us to analyze the hegemonic interests of school history on the conquest of America, since they help to understand the nature of the learning associated with the role of the different historical subjects, the presence of ethnocentrism and the precision of various educational purposes of the history subject in the student body. The results show the predominance of technical and praxeological curricular rationality, since it is evident that the objectives and evaluation indicators of the mentioned thematic unit jointly intend the study of a Eurocentric and androcentric history, marked by the expeditions led by Christopher Columbus, Diego de Almagro and Pedro de Valdivia, and the work based on historical competences. It is concluded that, in order to develop a more complete and inclusive curriculum, a greater effort is needed on the part of the Mineduc to move towards a praxeological and critical curricular rationality that intends the learning and evaluation of significant contents about the conquest of America.

The inclusion of information and communication technologies in the foreign languages teaching-learning process is a challenge due to the possibilities it offers to modern life and the profession. Health professionals who attended to the English post graduated course at the Sancti Spíritus Medical University showed limitations in writing. The objective of this article is to expose the didactic benefits of creating a WhatsApp group as a tool for the writing fluency improvement in the English as a foreign language intensive postgraduate course for health professionals. A systematization of experiences was carried out with a group of health professionals attending to the English postgraduate course at the Medical University during the 2020-2021 academic year. To get information, the following methods were used: documentary analysis, qualitative interview, in-depth session and participant observation, during the application of the actions and triangulation for the qualitative interpretation of the information. The results show advances in motivation, group work and the authentic negotiation of meaning through instant messaging. The WhatsApp group was conceived as an effective way to improve writing fluency in the English language, as a foreign language, in health professionals who attend to postgraduate studies.

Students enrolled in evening continuation study programs at a higher education institution face an academic world with expectations and fears throughout their entire training process. With their different family and work responsibilities, the students who are most prepared and adapted to the new times will advance and finish their educational instruction. Others will make the decision and give up their career, throwing away the possibility of obtaining a professional degree and better job prospects. The study explored the meaning that working adult students construct, regarding the expectations and fears during the development of their study program, in the Business Administration Engineering career, at the Teaching and Linking Center of the Arturo Prat University in Santiago de Chile, in the year 2021. A qualitative methodology was used, at an exploratory level and with a design with a case approach. The information was collected through an unstructured interview via email. The processing of the information was carried out using an Excel spreadsheet. The main results showed that the highest expectations of working adult students are to improve job performance and obtain a professional degree. Regarding the main fears, they expressed the lack of time to study and the level required by the university. The most relevant conclusions were aimed at developing higher education programs, according to the academic needs of a working adult and support plans throughout the program on emotional and mental health issues.

The article is based on a study of the tendential, conceptual and contextual framework of the training process of students who are fond of art. The objective was to socialize a system of workshops for the training of amateur students, which emphasized the manifestations of plastic arts and locution at the University of Pinar del Río ¨Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca¨. The main theoretical methods used were the historical-logical and empirical ones such as the interview, the survey, the observation and the documentary analysis. The main results were the system of training workshops for amateur students that contributes to the promotion of culture with a marked influence on their comprehensive training and enabled its possible generalization to various contexts and artistic manifestations. The conclusions derived from the training workshops for university students, as art lovers, contribute to the promotion of culture in the university and territorial community, all of which contributes to the social commitment of the Cuban university in fulfillment of its mission.

This study was started from deficiencies found in graduate students of the Spanish language faculty of Hebei International Studies University, China, to construct the idea of the Spanish-speaking subject from the criteria of cultural diversity. The cultural content of the books Modern Spanish for Chinese vol. 1 and 2 was analyzed by qualitative analysis aided by Atlas.ti software with inductive and deductive coding methods that reflected errors in the use of language, cultural information, ethnocentric approaches that stimulate xenophobia and racism. Thus, it was corroborated that the content of these books invalidates them to offer an efficient course for students who need to interrelate in a Spanish-speaking country, since their content omits a respectful cultural representation of this area.

The article presents the results of a doctoral thesis, which started from the recognition of poor understanding as the main cause of the difficulties that students present in arithmetic problems solving. Consequently, the article's objective is to reflect about the relationship and correspondences between the processes of understanding and word problems solving, from a sociocultural perspective. They used methods such as: documentary analysis, analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction. The main result obtained resides in the systematization of those epistemological postulates that allowed the resignification of word problems as texts and problem solving, as a process of textual comprehension.

The present work was directed to the improvement of the process of formation of digital skills to the professors of the Mechanical Engineering career of the University of Pinar del Río. The proposed objective was to determine the fundamentals of the process of training digital skills for professors of the Mechanical Engineering career at the University of Pinar del Río. To achieve this, the dialectical-materialist method was used as the guiding method, which allowed complementing the use of theoretical methods such as historical-logical, modeling and systemic-structural; Among the empirical methods, document analysis, survey and interview, and observation were used. The theoretical foundations for the training of digital skills for teachers of the Mechanical Engineering career at the University of Pinar del Río were determined; the principle of transversality, the transit through the different stages of the skill until it is internalized and the action of the internal structure of the skill, in each subject of the career curriculum, developing through actions and operations that coincide with the training Digital skills for teachers. Based on the proposed theoretical foundations, a cycle of methodological forms was structured for its implementation by fulfilling the methodological work of the Department of Mechanics of the University of Pinar del Río, being conceived from the methodology the formation of digital skills in this career.

Human beings have experienced changes and transformations in their passage through the world, ranging from an adaptability to being nomads to becoming sedentary; They have faced different processes that have made them evolve and rethink the ways of life in society. This article was carried out with teachers from three states of Mexico: Puebla, Sonora and Baja California in a post-pandemic context. The objective was to analyze the experiences of agents who are or were inserted in Higher Education and who carried out activities in the area of teaching and research during the confinement by COVID-19. The selected methodology was qualitative, with a phenomenological method through an interpretive paradigm to reflect on perceptions of educational reality through two phases applied by a quantitative questionnaire and an in-depth interview. The results made visible the challenges they had in adapting from face-to-face to virtual education; the absence of horizontal participation between research work and teaching; and proposals or strategies for improvement in educational innovation in collaboration with research and university teaching.
