The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of self-perception on the use of the STEAM approach in classroom practices of natural sciences in teachers who direct the area. This was developed under the quantitative, descriptive method with a non-probabilistic sample. The sample consisted of 40 Mexican and Colombian teachers, who responded to the instrument with a reliability of 0.920 (Cronbach´s alpha). The results indicated that teachers have a low level of self-perception on the use of the approach. It is concluded that this low level regarding the use of the STEAM approach in their class-room practices seen from the planning, execution and evaluation of their classes is very nega-tive since it influences the decision-making process in the implementation of any initiative, in this case for the implementation of STEAM education in the science classroom.

Pedagogical content knowledge has been a line of research that gives identity to teachers as education professionals. In the exercise of teaching and learning processes, teacher professional development programs are relevant because they promote in teachers learning and reflection processes in pedagogical practice; this systematic literature review aims to identify trends in research processes of teacher professional development programs from pedagogical knowledge of content between the years 2017 and 2023. Scopus and Web of Science databases were explored. Sixty-four publications were identified, in which the teacher's reflection processes is the most studied category, which seeks to promote aspects such as teamwork, synthesis capacity, goal setting, identification of difficulties in teaching; on the other hand, it is found that one of the most used generation strategies that collect the elements of Pedagogical Content Knowledge is the Lesson Study (LS).

The research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance, supported by numerous studies, predominantly reveals a positive connection in adolescents between emotional and academic dimensions. This relationship involves the integration of social, psychological, familial, and behavioral factors in the educational environment. The study, based on a documentary review of 50 articles, aimed to determine how the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance could enhance educational practices. The results highlight the significant influence of emotional factors on academic performance, sparking an essential debate on knowledge acquisition and the foundations for improving educational strategies. It is concluded that this interrelationship positively impacts educational dynamics by fostering an environment that promotes emotions in the classroom, effectively integrating emotional education into curricula, providing socio-emotional support from the student's immediate environment, and facilitating the development of emotional skills in the learning process.

The educational preschool communities in Chile live in a multicultural condition on a daily basis where inclusive pedagogical practices are highly relevant. Hence, it is necessary to understand the deployment of these within kindergarten and to visualize the perception that families and teachers have towards inclusive education in terms of the strategies and pedagogical resources used in the classrooms. Additionally, it is important to understand how families feel about the kindergarten and in what way they are included in the educational, collaborative, and strategic planning which generates the institutional inclusive improvement. A qualitative methodology is used in order to apply interviews concerned to the Inclusion Index to the participants. The results allow integrating the most relevant pedagogical findings within the growing crossroads of migratory identities and cultural diversity. Nowadays, there is still a lack of understanding regarding inclusion.

Given the disciplinary, pedagogical, public, and institutional policy challenges faced in the design of subjects, the aim of this article is to propose a conceptual model for the teaching and learning processes of university mathematics, aiming to improve academic performance. This improvement is achieved through a combination of didactic, pedagogical, and disciplinary attributes. The qualitative methodology employed encompasses four phases: analysis of keyword co-occurrence and an integrative review of the literature, analysis of public policies, formulation of a conceptual model, and its initial application. The results have been developed in a preliminary version of a conceptual model for the learning and teaching of university mathematics, represented by a hexagonal cluster diagram with two axes. Early assessments indicate positive acceptance and offer an opportunity to evaluate the model's impact, along with the design of appropriate indicators.

The main objective of this article is to design a theoretical proposal to integrate educational research in teacher training. This proposal arises from the scarce contributions in this regard in the context of Ibero-America. The proposal contemplates two major complementary elements: the vision on educational research and the student's perspective. The first is broken down between research as theoretical knowledge and educational research as a learning tool. On the other hand, the student perspective is divided between a student body that learns research methodology in a theoretical way and a student body that has the possibility to participate in the research through a greater involvement with it. It is hoped that this proposal can be significant for the literature in the area and that it will allow the establishment of concrete actions leading to its materialization in the context of teacher training.

Inclusive education calls to transform schools, for which leadership is fundamental. As a key aspect for improvement, little is known about its role from inclusive and justice perspectives. This paper reviews international literature to understand inclusive school leadership, identifying its dimensions. Empirical and conceptual antecedents were analyzed, recognizing definitions of inclusive leadership, trends of research and emerging aspects from results. Literature shows that leaders answer to diverse types of exclusion, as it happens in the presence of special educational needs, migration, and the consequences of sociopolitical conflicts. In response, inclusive school leadership considers three dimensions: socio-ethical, institutional-educational, and relational-subjective. This exploration brings discussions to project research on this topic within the Chilean context.

In the last decades of the last century and, above all, in the first decades of the 21st century, there has been an increase in analyses and proposals for in-service teacher training in many countries. The need for teacher training throughout their academic life in this complex era of great changes and uncertainties, in which the dilemmas of knowledge and technology make ongoing teacher training an essential process in the professional development of teachers, is claimed and glimpsed. The article analyzes the concerns, evidences and some challenges of the theory and practice of in-service teacher training: training located in educational institutions for the development of innovation projects; relationships among teachers; emotions and attitudes, teaching complexity, communication and training with the community.

Educational contexts have become key scenarios for addressing diversity through inclusive approaches; this compromises relevant and effective managerial and teaching management. The objective of this research is to explore its implementation at macro, meso and microcurricular levels in an educational institution. A qualitative case study metholology was developed under the interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through interviews, participant observation and documentary review. The results suggest that school management that favors educational inclusion and attention to diversity, leads, organizes, plans and evaluates educational inclusion and attention to diversity, leads, organizes, plans and evaluates educational processes, in accordance with management tools and inclusive educational public policy, so that the construction of Learning at a microcurricular level is accompanied by effective pedagogical praxis, with significant intentionality and attention to diversity.

Immersed in an accelerated digital transformation, this research evaluates the correspondence between the digital competencies of employees in large companies in the Cibao Sur region of the Dominican Republic and the skills demanded by the labor market, Significant gaps are evident, caused in part by the shortcomings of the regional education system to respond to business needs in the digital age. Using a mixed methodological approach that combines quantitative and qualitative techniques, it was determined that deficits persist in advanced and specialized digital competencies, especially in technical and operational occupations, which negatively impacts business productivity and competitiveness. The findings underscore the urgency of focused training strategies, public policies for digital literacy, and greater linkage between academia and industry to develop highly skilled human capital adapted to the challenges of the digital economy.
