El objetivo de este libro es explorar y comprender los diferentes aspectos de la investigación mixta, incluyendo sus características, aplicaciones, desafíos y consideraciones éticas. También examinaremos las futuras direcciones y avances en este campo, así como el impacto de la integración de métodos mixtos con nuevas tecnologías. A través de esta exploración, buscamos proporcionar una visión integral y enriquecedora de la investigación mixta y su relevancia en la generación de conocimiento científico riguroso. Esta lectura está dirigida a estudiantes, investigadores y profesionales en el ámbito académico y científico que estén interesados en ampliar sus conocimientos sobre la investigación mixta. También puede ser de interés para aquellos que deseen utilizar métodos mixtos en sus propias investigaciones y deseen comprender mejor los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos de este enfoque. Al participar en este recorrido, los lectores aprenderán sobre los conceptos clave asociados con la investigación mixta, incluyendo los enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos, la integración de datos, finalmente, examinaremos las tendencias emergentes en métodos mixtos y la integración de nuevas tecnologías en la investigación mixta. Los lectores estarán equipados con los conocimientos necesarios para aplicar y aprovechar al máximo la investigación mixta en sus propias investigaciones y contribuir al avance del conocimiento científico.

Este ensayo académico tiene como objetivo hacer un análisis teórico conceptual de la equidad educativa en el contexto de la educación superior, para lograrlo, se llevó a cabo un análisis de la literatura existente sobre el tema, en primer lugar, se muestra algunos datos estadísticos que muestran los problemas que se continúan presentando en este contexto, en segundo lugar, se muestran dos teorías que abordan la equidad educativa y se lleva a cabo una discusión critica entre ambas y luego se discute el concepto de igualdad y equidad, en un tercer momento, se plantean las categorías de análisis que son incluidas en las discusiones teóricas en torno al análisis de la equidad educativa, es decir, qué aspectos se deben incluir para su evaluación, finalmente, en las conclusiones se reflexiona sobre la noción de equidad educativa y las implicaciones para su aplicación en el contexto de la educación superior.

In the context of university students, this study analyzes cultural capital from the three forms suggested by Bourdieu; incorporated, institutionalized and objectified, it carries out comparisons between these and three variable categories; the academic performance, educational level and income of the parents. Seven majors participated in the sample and included 735 students from three Honduran universities. For the measurement of the variables incorporated and institutionalized cultural capital, a Likert-type instrument was constructed; due to the nature of objectified cultural capital, a nominal scale was used. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to measure reliability, the incorporated and institutionalized cultural capital presented values of .817 and 0.763. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests showed p-value: 0.000<α: 0.05, showing statistically significant differences of medians in the levels of incorporated and institutionalized cultural capital based on academic performance, similarly a difference was found from educational grade and income of the parents, meanwhile, the objective capital seems not to be associated with academic performance (p-value: 0.000> α: 0.05), however, it was found to be associated with the educational level of the parents and economic income. The study concludes that the cultural capital shown by students is an important factor for educational success in the university context.

This essay analyzes the paradigms of Eric A. Hanushek on the economics of education. Initially, it addresses the relationship between human capital and sustained economic growth in countries, that is, how the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is strongly related to the improvements in the cognitive abilities of its population, as well as the economic benefits Potential that should motivate governments to improve the quality of educational institutions and thus foster major reforms. In addition, it states that an effective strategy for the development of countries should not only focus on statistics on children entering schools or the number of children who acquire the next higher grade, but also on improving the cognitive skills measured through Of international math and science tests. Based on evidence, Hanushek argues that the quality of education measured by students’ cognitive abilities in international tests is substantially more important than the mere amount of education, therefore it is argued that investing large amounts of GDP in education does not Ensures economic growth; To achieve this, we must focus on the factors that are determinant for the achievement of the quality of education.

This document shows the results of the research conducted at the National Pedagogical University "Francisco Morazán" to determine the influence of Organizational Commitment on Organizational Learning. The sample consisted of 118 teachers from the Tegucigalpa campus. To measure variables, the questionnaire designed by Watkins and Marsick and the scale proposed by Allen and Meyer were used. The reliability of the instrument was determined by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, obtaining 0.912 for the Organizational Learning variable, and 0.832 for Organizational Commitment one.The Pearson coefficient of determination was established to measure the effect of the independent variable on the dependent one, finding r = 0.718 and R2 of 0.516 to p =000<α: 0.05 values. The findings suggest that teachers committed to the institution contribute to the transformation processes and guide themselves to learn and improve their ability to do new things.

Lupinus is recognized as a nutrient-dense legume rich in protein, raw fiber, antioxidants, and unsaturated fatty acids, contributing significantly to human nutrition and health. In Ecuador, the Andean Crops and Plant Genetic Resources program of INIAP maintains a germplasm bank comprising 257 uncharacterized accessions. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and phytochemical composition of ten promising sweet Lupin genotypes (L. mutabilis) exhibiting good agronomic characteristics, resistance and/or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, superior grain quality and significantly reduced seed alkaloid content in experimental trails. These genotypes were compared with two accessions of L. albus and L. angustifolius used as control genotypes. Except for carbohydrate content, L. mutabilis genotypes exhibited similar or superior nutritional profiles compared to genotype controls with high protein (44.7%), fat (19.91%), and ash (4.16%) contents and reduced alkaloid concentrations, notably, two genotypes LmAnds16 and LmFRs43 with 0.04%. However, it exhibited the highest polyphenol (8.84 mg·g⁻¹) and flavonoid (0.67 mg·g⁻¹) concentrations and antioxidant activity for ABTS (19.94 µmol TE·g⁻¹) and FRAP (300.30 µmol TE·g⁻¹) on a dry weight basis (DW). These results are important for the generation of new varieties of Lupinus focused on its nutritional quality and to produce nutraceutical and functional foods.
