MODELO DE INNOVACIÓN EDUCATIVA. UN MARCO PARA LA FORMACIÓN Y EL DESARROLLO DE UNA CULTURA DE LA INNOVACIÓN

The socio-emotional competencies of students are essential for supporting their school and personal performance. This article presents the results and analysis of an experiment with students from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN, Mexico) and the subsequent application of an instrument to assess their socio-emotional competencies. The questions that guided the research were the following: (1) What is the level of development of the socio-emotional competencies of IPN students? (2) How do variables such as sex, age, and educational level affect the degree of development of socio-emotional competencies? (3) Are the socio-emotional competencies of the study group similar to those of the control group? These questions were examined through a quantitative analysis of the results of an instrument organized into nine theoretical dimensions with 72 questions that integrate the content of socio-emotional competencies. The instrument was applied to 405 students. The results show, first, a high level of development, on average, of the students’ socio-emotional competencies. Second, significant differences were found between the study group and the control group in two dimensions exclusively: empathy and autonomy. Similarly, the results show significant differences in the responses of men and women in two dimensions, regulation and pro-sociality, which, according to the analysis carried out, are related to prevailing gender stereotypes. A relevant conclusion is that the strengthening of socio-affective skills from school is essential for the comprehensive development of students. Failure to attend to them reproduces pre-existing conditions in families where poverty and violence do not allow for enriched socio-emotional environments.

El objetivo de este artículo fue diseñar una secuencia didáctica para el tratamiento del tema de los circuitos eléctricos con una metodología de aprendizaje activo para dar respuesta a la pregunta sobre qué tipo de aprendizaje se promueve en los estudiantes utilizando esas metodologías en las aulas virtuales de las clases de física en ingeniería y su posterior aplicación en modalidad híbrida. El estudio es cualitativo y sigue las fases de la investigación-acción; para la construcción del problema contextualizado, se usó una metodología DIPCING, diseñada ex profeso para la enseñanza de la ingeniería, y se propuso la infografía como producto de aprendizaje integrador. Se empleó un instrumento denominado “aplicación a la ingeniería” para cuantificar habilidades de orden superior. Con el diseño y la evaluación que se documenta, se aportan herramientas para la implementación del ABP en carreras de ingeniería en una modalidad híbrida. Con esta propuesta, los alumnos comprenden conocimientos científicos (sobre circuitos eléctricos) y tienen nociones de cómo utilizarlos en el entorno laboral.

RESUMO Apresentamos uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa cujo objetivo é investigar como os professores enfrentam a implementação da Plataforma Adaptativa de Matemática (PAM) para aprender e ensinar matemática. Conforme Chrysostomou e Mousoulides (2009), para que as mudanças na reforma educacional prosperem, é necessário levar em conta as crenças e preocupações dos professores uruguaios sobre a PAM. O instrumento desta pesquisa foi uma enquete online respondida por 105 professores de forma voluntária. Os resultados mostram que os professores atribuem valor positivo à PAM, que o tipo de uso que fazem dela coloca em ação as características que a definem, e que a diferenciam de outras ferramentas; tais como em sua adaptabilidade, a sua capacidade de personalizar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem, a autonomia do aluno, o feedback imediato que dá ao aluno e ao professor, os diferentes relatórios.

This study explores the integration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) as catalysts for professional teacher development within the context of Mexico’s educational challenges. Adopting a qualitative and exploratory approach, a four-phase workshop was conducted with 40 high school and university-level teachers from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN). The methodology included scientific modeling activities using traditional methods, software (Tracker, ver. 6.2.0), and AI tools (ChatGPT-3.5), while analyzing participants’ perceptions and experiences. The findings reveal a clear disconnect between teachers’ theoretical competencies and their practical skills, with persistent gaps in scientific literacy at both educational levels. However, this study documents that the workshop functioned as a genuine professional learning community, where inter-academic collaboration and peer-learning proved to be an effective strategy for addressing these deficiencies. Technology, specifically the Tracker software, served as a catalyst for conceptual understanding. Despite AI’s potential for research, its limitations in the precision of responses reinforced this study’s central conclusion: technology does not replace the teacher’s work but transforms the teacher’s role into a critical mediator, responsible for guiding students to develop analytical and critical thinking in a complex digital environment.
