The topic refers to the processes of connectivity, access to digital tools, and the disposition of university students who were affected by their university semesters in person, and due to the health emergency caused by COVID-19, they had to go to virtual classes in an improvised way. The general aim was to inquire about the possession of digital tools, connectivity, and student disposition for virtual classes. This article is the product of an exploratory, non-experimental and descriptive study where the information was collected through an online survey published in a massive WhatsApp group, where there are more than 240 students of the Bachelor of Mathematics at the Universidad del Atlántico whose total population ranges at 790 students. The main results obtained are the changes in a general way like this: 1) A categorization of the disposition of the students in the virtual classes; 2) type, quality, family use of digital tools for internet access; 3) preferences in the use of tools, platforms or applications for the development of virtual classes; and 4) external factors that mediate connectivity, such as electric power service.

This article presents the experience of the armed conflict and its processing by the Educational Institution El Chairá José María Córdoba as one of the results of the investigation The armed conflict and the school: peace and reconciliation initiatives in Caquetá, whose objective was understand the ways in which three educational institutions in the department of Caquetá lived and processed the experience of the armed conflict and the peace and reconciliation initiatives derived from each of them. This research was a multiple case study in which semi-structured interviews, focus groups and memory work techniques were used. The data collected was processed using the categorical narrative analysis model. The analysis and subsequent research results regarding this educational institution indicate that: the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -People's Army (FARC-EP) was the hegemonic armed group in the region due to the abandonment and absence of the State; that their financing depended on the economy of drugs, extortion and the “vaccines” they carried out; that the educational institution was turned into a heliport where those killed in combat were deposited, and that she was affected by school dropouts due to the recruitment of minors in the municipality.

Spatial thinking is one of the central axes of the study of geometry, which occupies an important position in the curriculum at different educational levels. In this paper we determine the types of cognitive activity and the level of spatial thinking of a group of ninth year students in their experience with semiotic representations of polyhedra. Their definitions of prism and pyramid were compared with those given by a group of first-semester undergraduate students in Mathematics. This comparison lead us to analyse the way these objects are presented in textbooks and websites. A mixed research approach was used, with an action research design, supported by Raymond Duval's theory of semiotic representations. The analysis of the tests determined difficulties in the use of verbal language when describing polyhedra and a low level of spatial thinking to transform a 3D figure. It was also found that there is no significant difference in the conceptions of 3D objects given by the two groups of students. Part of this confusion was attributed to errors present in some textbooks and websites.

Este artículo de revisión presenta resultados parciales de un proyecto adelantado en el marco de una tesis que estudia el fenómeno de la gestión de la convivencia escolar a partir del desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional, como una oportunidad para la resolución de conflictos. El objetivo se centró en analizar las características y las incidencias de la gestión de la convivencia y el desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional en los escolares, a partir de una revisión de los estudios realizados por otros investigadores. Para alcanzarlo, se hizo uso de la técnica de análisis de contenido a la producción científica, partiendo de preguntas orientadoras. Dentro de los resultados, se resalta que la gestión de la convivencia implica toma de decisiones, formulación de actividades para la mejora de las conductas, vivencia de valores, formas de relacionarse de los miembros de la comunidad educativa y el establecimiento de estrategias para favorecer el clima escolar. Las falencias en la gestión de la convivencia pueden ocasionar trastornos en los procesos pedagógicos y en el convivir.

This systematic review of the literature of papers that present the results of the evaluation of programs oriented in the United States with high school students, to promote the enroll and successful development of their undergraduates, reveals an emphasis on interventions to strengthen the appropriation of content and the contribution of these initiatives in the improvement of academic averages during high school and in the entrance, academic success and graduation in their undergraduate programs. The comparison of public policies that support related programs carried out in Latin America highlights the evaluation of university preparation interventions as a pending task that needs to be strengthened to support and improve decision-making in university higher education policy.

In education there is a broad reflection on didactic strategies that enable teaching-learning processes in the classroom; what is crucial in the face of discourses in Colombian education such as the ´culture of peace´, a complex issue. Therefore, the cinema is presented as an alternative that allows building an environment for learning and teaching. For these reasons, a reflection was made based on literature that addresses the construct of peace and its relationship with the discourses of 'teaching for the culture of peace', as well as the idea of ​​cinema as an educational alternative. For the methodological development in order to present an argued reflection, a search of bibliographic material was carried out, especially published articles that addressed research related to: 'peace', 'culture of peace', 'cinema and education'. As a result, it could be inferred that from the reading and analysis of the documents found, it was possible to argue the idea of ​​cinema as a valuable pedagogical tool that mobilizes favorable teaching-learning processes in the classroom, therefore, cinema is a resource that makes possible the teaching and the promotion of the construction of a culture of peace.

The integral training of students requires that from the sciences scientific competences be maximized, encouraging the study of scientific language with terms of daily use at home; in this sense, this research aims to propose an integrative teaching strategy in the teaching of scientific concepts, with as its central axis a series of terms used in the home. The methodology is based on the qualitative paradigm, with a research-action approach, designing three phases of work starting with the characterization of the group, characterization of the teacher, and finally, the design of the strategy. To do this, information collection techniques and tools such as observation, interview, documentary review, field journal and questionnaire are used.

ABSTRACT The results of a study carried out with the objective of enhancing written language competencies in a group of transitional children of a private institution in Santa Marta are presented. To achieve this, a methodology with a single group quasi-experimental design was used, with pre and post evaluation. The results indicate evolution in the construction of writing hypotheses in children that was observed from their scriptural records. Children show progress from levels of construction of initial written language A and B that involve unconventional expressions of writing to levels C and D in which they make use of the conventional written system. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the teaching of writing processes must start from the hypotheses that the child constructs in a particular way and prior to their formal writing, which arise from their social interaction in real communicative situations; Therefore, it is necessary to respect and value the process of personal construction in each child, without trying to homogenize the productions, pretending the rote learning of grapheme phonemes isolated from the realities and contexts in which the students are immersed.

This research is carried out with the purpose of demonstrating the development of educational inclusion of children with cerebral palsy since the inclusive environment must enhance the student's abilities to promote access to information. In this context, a roadmap of socio-educational inclusion practices in children with cerebral palsy is proposed considering intellectual and physical disability. Descriptive research is developed, scientific articles are evaluated with a global, regional and national focus; Additionally, a bibliometric analysis will be carried out through VosViewer to identify the countries with the greatest scientific contribution in the field of multiple disabilities, the universities that present research and the most relevant researchers in relation to the number of citations. The verification database will come from Web of Science and Scopus, the results obtained will be evaluated through the analytical-synthetic method that will allow contrasting the objectives set with the results found in the investigation. 

The development of this research focuses on analyzing the efficiency of the academic and administrative management of educators, in the inclusion of students with cognitive deficiencies to a regular classroom, the research was developed within a methodological framework, quantitative with a descriptive approach, through which it was possible to analyze the characteristics and behaviors of students with learning disabilities, as well as the actions taken by teachers to facilitate the teaching process, for the data collection technique was determined as two surveys, one directed to teachers of different educational units with administrative and classroom positions, The analysis of the results showed the importance of the welcome provided by teachers in the integration of children with learning deficiencies.
