Jorge Maluenda-Albornoz, PhD in Psychology. I'm currently an academic within the Department of Industrial Civil Engineering at the University of Concepción, Chile. I also serves as Vice-Director of Teaching and Head of Human-Computer Interaction Lab for the same faculty. My research focuses on areas such as motivational regulation, student engagement, uncertainty, sense of belonging, and social support - factors which contribute to improved academic performance and reduced student dropout. This work has resulted in several research projects and publications. Additionally, i've played a key role in guiding educational transformation processes within higher education institutions, supporting universities in Chile, Colombia, Perú, and Panamá in the redesign of their educational models, curricular structures, and teaching practices.
