Wikipedia ha sido considerada un Recurso Educativo Abierto que comenzó a ser más estudiada recientemente por docentes investigadores de diversos países. Sin embargo, en la literatura se observa un impasse entre aquellos que aceptan su uso para fines pedagógicos y aquellos que no la consideran como un posible recurso tecnológico y educacional. Se objetivó realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura en plataformas de búsqueda nacionales con el fin de comprender las relaciones entre las publicaciones con el objeto de estudio, Wikipedia, y sus finalidades pedagógicas para la enseñanza. Para la revisión sistemática de la literatura se optó por utilizar dos portales de búsqueda: Google Scholar y el Portal de Periódicos de CAPES/MEC, con un marco temporal de 2001 a 2023, resultando en un total de 26 artículos. En los últimos años, Wikipedia, aparentemente, ha dejado de ser utilizada solo como fuente de consulta informal y ha ganado credibilidad y notoriedad como una herramienta de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el área académica. Este cambio ha ocurrido de manera puntual en el área académica cuando se consideran experiencias en el idioma portugués. Se espera incentivar nuevas investigaciones sobre la temática y su uso como un recurso educativo abierto para la enseñanza de contenidos científicos.

This article presents a synthesis of the results of a Master's degree in Education research that aimed to analyze the everyday activities of Early Childhood Education related to the child's disengagement in a municipal Early Childhood Education Center in Lages/SC. As a methodological resource for analysis, we opted for cartography, which offers an investigative approach that makes it possible to analyze the relationships between subjects and the configuration of the space studied in the midst of these relationships. The research brings together elements that contribute to thinking about unblocking conceptions and ideas, and not only the walls of the classrooms. In this way, we explored the Philosophy of Difference, from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, to bring cartography as a research method in education, to possibly produce multiplicity. Contemplating the routine experienced by children, it was noticed that the teachers in the researched class consider the times and spaces in Early Childhood Education to be relevant, offering playful and empowering experiences. Therefore, children experience a curriculum capable of considering becoming a child, thus reaffirming their child protagonism. However, it was observed that the agencies aimed at children, due to the established routine, repress their experiences with the natural world, interacting very little in this environment in relation to the time they remain there, thus being shaped in their desire drive, walled up. Children play on the ground, for the most part, covered in cement and gravel, with these spaces being predominant in the outdoor areas. In the incessant flows, many encounters took place and destabilized molar segments, producing assemblages, thus extending the virtual lines in the curriculum.

This article aims to understand how action is presented in action research, based on the analysis of Brazilian Theses and Dissertations, in the field of continuing teacher education, carried out in the first two decades of the 21st century. The research is based on the theoretical contributions of Thiollent (1986, 1997), Tripp (2005), André (2001), Freire (2016;2017) and Nóvoa (2012; 2022). This is a review study, with a qualitative approach, whose data were generated from the analysis of abstracts and introductions of texts published in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). Starting from what defines an action research, the following analysis categories were defined: i) the definition of the general objective; ii) the relationship between problem situation and projected action; and, iii) the participation of the researcher. The results indicate that, although many researches do not present in their abstracts and introductory texts the identification of the problem generating the investigation, the analysis of the general objective allows to infer the problem that gave rise to the investigation and to analyze its relation with the proposed actions and the researcher's performance. We identified that, despite the variation in the terminologies used and in the way of presentation, most of the action researches present as intentionality the action before a problem of the context, which indicates the commitment with the action and with the purpose of resolving demands, usually punctual, in the field of teacher training.

This study examines the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador concerning the right to personal integrity and the habeas corpus remedy as a protective measure for individuals deprived of liberty, particularly those experiencing dual vulnerability. The central legal issue identified is the absence of clear criteria in the application of this judicial guarantee, as judges often fail to fully consider the circumstances necessary to prevent rights violations. The research methodology employed was the case study method, through which this issue was scrutinized by analyzing the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court on violations of the right to personal integrity of individuals deprived of liberty who are in situations of dual vulnerability. A key aspect of this study is the judicial balancing of rights concerning individuals deprived of liberty in situations of dual vulnerability. The Constitutional Court of Ecuador has integrated various principles from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to protect personal integrity through this judicial guarantee. Furthermore, the Court’s rulings carefully examine the circumstances to prevent any infringement of the rights of detainees, ensuring that these rights are effectively protected and enforced by constitutional judges. Consequently, this research concludes that judges must rigorously apply the principle of proportionality to enhance the effectiveness of this constitutional remedy, and the State must pursue a more effective penitentiary policy.

In Ecuador, for a brand to position itself and maintain a presence in the market, it must make use of social media and implement merchandising strategies to enable a football team to penetrate the market. Effective communication on these platforms increases consumer awareness and trust. In other words, social platforms not only enhance fan engagement but also help merge promotional efforts with brand value. Likewise, a strong digital image is essential for brand loyalty and appreciation, and it is crucial that this image be vibrant and captivating. Given the quantitative design, the study selected 384 football fans through a non-probabilistic sampling method. Very high reliability and validity were observed in the constructs used, which showed acceptable values: Cronbach's alpha of 0.89 for MER and 0.90 for PM, and AVE values above 0.65. Correlation coefficients also fully confirmed discriminant validity. In another analysis, the structural model indicated that merchandising strategies had a direct and significant effect on brand positioning (0.61, p < 0.001), and social media acted as a mediator in this relationship, with an indirect effect of 0.17, p < 0.001. The net result was that the study concluded that merchandising marketing strategies, complemented by brand campaigns, made it possible to achieve the desired positioning, which was the main objective of the analysis.

The general objective of this research was to identify the relationship between family functioning and risk factors in the development of behavioral disorders in adolescents. The methodology used was quantitative, descriptive correlational, cross-sectional and non-experimental design. The following instruments were used: cohesion and flexibility scale (FACES III) and questionnaire for the detection of behavioral disorders in children and adolescents (ESPERI). 109 adolescents of both sexes between 14 and 16 years of age participated in the study. The most significant findings were the following: 80,07% of the adolescents had dysfunctional family functioning, while 41,3% presented a mild level of risk factors in the development of behavioral disorders. Therefore, the most relevant conclusion is that there is no relationship between family functioning and risk factors in the development of behavioral disorders, this was due to the influence of protective factors, such as, the presence of positive role models, the support of teachers or mentors and peer support networks that counteracted the negative effects of poor family functioning.

The aim of this research was to identify the relationship between emotional dependency and social skills in adolescents between 14 and 16 years of age in an educational institution. For this purpose, a quantitative approach was adopted, with a non-experimental, descriptive-correlational and cross-sectional design. A sample of 142 adolescents were administered the Couples Emotional Dependence Scale for Adolescents (EDEA), the Goldstein Social Skills Assessment Scale and a sociodemographic survey validated by experts. The results, obtained by means of a linear regression model, yielded a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.109 and a bilateral significance level of 0.199, which led to the acceptance of the null hypothesis, that is, that there is no correlation between emotional dependency and social skills in adolescents aged 14 to 16 years from an educational institution. It was concluded that this result could be due to other factors not considered in this research, such as the family environment, the socioeconomic context or the personal history of the participants. Further research addressing these factors is recommended to obtain a more complete picture.

The purpose of this study is to analize the impact of gender violence in Ecuador, identifying the main obstacles and advances in the protection and guarantee of fundamental rights. The methodology adopted a qualitative approach, through descriptive and analytical research. The hermeneutic method was used to interpret relevant legal texts and regulations, as well as the analytical-synthetic method to decompose and analyze current regulations and judicial practices. The data collection technique consisted of a documentary analysis of regulations, international treaties and reports from national and international organizations. The results revealed that gender violence in Ecuador seriously affects the human rights of the victims, manifesting itself in physical, psychological, sexual, economic and symbolic forms. Certainly, regulatory efforts have been made and the implementation of policies to control and prevent this type of violence has been promoted, however, the lack of knowledge about protection mechanisms increases the vulnerability and inequality of these women. Furthermore, many abandon their complaints due to fear, economic dependence and social pressure, which perpetuates their situation. In conclusion, the research revealed that, despite efforts to improve care for victims and the creation of legal channels for their protection, significant barriers persist such as cultural resistance and lack of awareness about gender equality, which makes it difficult to transform acts of violence.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and perception of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in educational support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and various disabilities. The research approach is exploratory and applied, using a descriptive and quantitative design. Data were collected through structured surveys administered to a purposive sample of 15 students from the Information Technology program at the University of Guayaquil, who have different types and degrees of disability. These instruments were used according to the specific needs of the students, utilizing tools such as Hetah.net for sign language translation and Microsoft Forms immersive readers for students with visual and physical disabilities. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, frequency, comparative, and correlational methods. Results indicated that AI tools are perceived as a significant support for learning, improving accessibility and adaptability in the educational process. However, challenges related to the need for further training for both students and teachers were identified. Despite the limitations of the sample, the findings suggest that AI tools have great potential to promote educational inclusion. It is concluded that an integrated approach considering both technological capabilities and user training is essential to maximize the positive impact of these tools.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the combined use of inclusive virtual modalities, developed in Moodle, on the robotics learning process of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at the Fundación Sendero Azul in Guayaquil. A case study methodological design with a mixed-methods approach and purposive non-probabilistic sampling was adopted. The sample included 9 students with Level 1 and 2 ASD, who participated directly and semi-autonomously in the virtual environment, and 2 Level 3 students observed through sessions mediated by their families. In addition, 3 teachers (student facilitators) responsible for training and support, and 4 family members as key informants, participated. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, participant observation, and analysis of Moodle activity records. The results showed improvements in understanding, motivation, and task persistence. Elements such as interactive videos, visual rewards, and guided navigation were valued as key resources. It is concluded that a Moodle environment adapted to the cognitive and sensory characteristics of students with ASD can support their inclusion in technical areas such as robotics, offering an accessible, scalable, and high-impact educational solution.
