Resumen En este artículo se sustenta que el servicio de educación indígena de Baja California, el cual opera desde hace más de 40 años, posee características que lo distinguen de otros similares que se desarrollan en diversos estados de la república mexicana. En este caso, su crecimiento está articulado a los procesos de migración interna, cuya diversidad cultural y lingüística está presente en las aulas. Para lograr una descripción pormenorizada de sus principales rasgos, se realizó un análisis estadístico con información obtenida de las bases de datos de la Coordinación Estatal de Educación Indígena, de la prueba Planea, de la estadística educativa del Formato 911, así como de entrevistas aplicadas a informantes clave. Los resultados permiten identificar el tipo de organización de los centros escolares, los perfiles académico y lingüístico del profesorado y del alumnado, así como sus especificidades y retos para continuar brindando el servicio.

Abstract In this article it is founded that the indigenous education service in Baja California, which has been operating for more than forty years, has acquired characteristics that distinguish it from other similar services that operate in different states of the Mexican Republic. In this case, its growth is linked to internal migration processes. Hence, the cultural and linguistic diversity in the classrooms. In order to achieve a detailed description of their characteristics, a statistical analysis was carried out with information from the databases of the Coordinación Estatal de Educación Indígena, the PLANEA test, and the educational statistics of the Formato 911, as well as interviews with key informants. The results allow to identify the type of organization of the schools and the academic and linguistic profiles of teachers and students, as well as their specificities and challenges to continue providing the service.

Abstract The analysis of the evolution of academic reforms in recent decades allows us to observe that, in the name of innovation, this was conceived from the outset as a political oeuvre aimed at turning the university into a provider, within the free trade agreements, of 'educational services'. These become 'products' susceptible to commercialization, and thus, 'academic capitalism' is established, a concept with which it is intended to account for the processes of commercialization of teaching and academic research. The reforms are chained one after the other over time, with two objectives: to reduce the power of the State, and to put an end to the 'Educating State' born in the Enlightenment as a republican ideal. Ideal under which education appears as a central element for forming an emancipated citizenship in the face of a globalized capitalism without citizenship.

Resumen El análisis de la evolución de las reformas académicas de las últimas décadas permite observar que, en nombre de la innovación, esta fue pensada, desde sus inicios, como una obra política dirigida a convertir a la universidad en proveedora, dentro de los acuerdos de libre comercio, de ‘servicios educativos’. Estos se convierten en ‘productos’ susceptibles de comercialización, y así, se instaura el ‘capitalismo académico’, concepto con el que se pretende dar cuenta de los procesos de comercialización de la docencia e investigación académica. Las reformas se encadenan en el tiempo una tras otras, con dos objetivos, restar poder al Estado, y poner fin al ‘Estado Educador’ nacido en la Ilustración como ideal republicano. Ideal bajo el que la educación aparece como un elemento central para la formación de una ciudadanía emancipada frente a un capitalismo globalizado sin ciudadanía.

Resumen Introducción: Los juicios metacognitivos han sido objeto de estudio en el campo de la metacognición en las últimas décadas, puesto que analizan las creencias que los estudiantes tienen sobre su desempeño académico, con el fin de contribuir a la adaptación de estrategias para mejorar la autonomía y el criterio de los aprendices. Objetivo: Identificar los juicios metacognitivos que se emplean con mayor frecuencia en estudiantes universitarios a partir de una revisión sistemática realizada entre los años 2018 y 2023. Método: La metodología se basó en la Declaración Prisma, y la búsqueda se llevó a cabo en las bases de datos de Science Direct, Scopus y Springer. Se aplicaron criterios de depuración y se analizaron 61 artículos. Resultados: Se encontró que los juicios metacognitivos que se aplican con mayor regularidad son los juicios predictivos y postdictivos, mientras que los juicios concurrentes son los menos utilizados. Además, se observó que los juicios postdictivos presentan una mayor precisión. Discusión y conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que, para lograr una alta calibración entre los juicios metacognitivos y los resultados académicos reales, es necesario considerar distintas categorías de juicios metacognitivos que contribuyan a la construcción de un sistema integral. Esto proporcionaría al estudiante una variedad de herramientas que pueda implementar de manera óptima en sus procesos de aprendizaje.

Abstract Introduction: Metacognitive judgments have become an object of study in the field of metacognition in recent decades, since they analyze the beliefs that students have regarding their academic performance, to contribute to the adaptation of strategies for the improvement of the autonomy and judgment of learners. Objective: To identify the metacognitive judgments that are most frequently used in university students based on a systematic review between the years 2018 to 2023. Method: The methodology of this article was based on the PRISMA Statement and the search was conducted in the Science Direct, Scopus and Springer databases; use was made in the purification criteria, 61 articles were analyzed. Results: It was found that the metacognitive judgments that are applied most regularly concern pre-test and post-test judgments, while the judgments during the test are those that are used less regularly; likewise, those that present greater precision are those that are applied after the test. Discussion and conclusions: The results allow us to conclude that in order to obtain high calibration between metacognitive judgments and real academic results, different categories of metacognitive judgments must be involved, which contribute to the construction of a complex and complete system that provides the student with a variety of tools that can be optimally implemented in their learning processes.

SUMMARY: The denomination of the "ulna" bone as "cubitus" bone is an error in terminology still observed in anatomy study texts and Chilean school textbooks, even though the term ulna was established as the official term in the 20th century. This problem is a reflection of the slow progressive change in academic communities and the population in general, through the traditional transfer of knowledge. Scientific dissemination allows for accelerating such a process, and in recent years, it has been enhanced through social networks and virtual platforms such as TikTok. Few studies relate the use of TikTok with anatomical learning. This research describes school students' perception of an informative video on correctly using the term "ulna." It analyzes the possible scope as a complementary activity to anatomical teaching for the school community and society. A TikTok video was developed and published four months before showing it to 17 11th-grade students from Viña del Mar, and then they were asked to complete a perception survey. In addition, statistical data provided by the TikTok platform itself was recorded. The results revealed a favorable reception of the informative content among the participating students, with a high percentage expressing total or partial agreement in all the statements evaluated (up to 82.4 %). The metrics delivered by the platform show an international reach, the main viewers being people from Chile (35.5 %), Mexico (25.3 %), and Colombia (7.2 %). Among the aspects mentioned by the students that need improvement, are the quality of visual editing and the fluency of the explanation. Given the positive perception obtained from the video, we consider that using these complementary tools can improve human anatomy's teaching and learning processes and broaden our practices' impact on the educational community and society.

RESUMEN: La denominación del hueso "ulna" como hueso "cúbito" es un error de terminología aún observado en textos de estudio de anatomía y en textos escolares chilenos, pese a que desde el siglo XX se ha establecido el término ulna como el oficial. Esto refleja la lentitud del proceso de cambio en las comunidades académicas y en la población general mediante la transmisión tradicional de conocimientos. La divulgación científica permite acelerar dicho proceso, y en los últimos años se ha potenciado por medio de redes sociales y plataformas virtuales como TikTok. Existen pocos estudios que relacionan el uso de TikTok con el aprendizaje anatómico. Esta investigación describe la percepción de estudiantes escolares frente a un vídeo divulgativo sobre el correcto uso del término "ulna" y analiza los posibles alcances como actividad complementaria de la enseñanza anatómica hacia la comunidad escolar y la sociedad. Se desarrolló un vídeo de TikTok publicado 4 meses antes de mostrarlo a 17 estudiantes de 3° de enseñanza secundaria, y luego se les solicitó completar una encuesta de percepción. Además, se registraron datos estadísticos entregados por la misma plataforma. Los resultados obtenidos revelan una favorable acogida del contenido divulgativo entre los estudiantes participantes, con un alto porcentaje expresando acuerdo total o parcial en todas las afirmaciones evaluadas (hasta un 82,4 %). Las métricas entregadas por la plataforma demuestran un alcance internacional, siendo los principales espectadores personas de Chile (35,5 %), México (25,3 %) y Colombia (7,2 %). Entre los aspectos a mejorar mencionados por los estudiantes está la calidad de edición visual y la fluidez de la explicación. Dada la positiva percepción obtenida frente al vídeo, consideramos que usar estas herramientas complementarias puede mejorar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la anatomía humana y ampliar el impacto de nuestras prácticas en la comunidad educativa y la sociedad.

This article focuses on academic staff development in higher education in South Africa. It emphasises the importance of locating academics within the broader racialised contexts and history of the country. Recognising the complexities of social academic exclusion in relation to academics working across the sector in diverse universities, the article argues that academic staff development programmes which provide formulaic interventions are far less likely to have a long term impact on the individual and the sector. The social and academic legacies of racial segregation continue to permeate the professional experiences of marginalised academics, the support they receive for their career aspirations, and the recognition (without acknowledgement) of institutional and systemic barriers to their success (Breetzke and Hedding 2018; Khunou 2018; Hlengwa 2019). The literature is replete with references to humanising pedagogies for students yet is overwhelmingly silent on the impact on the academic or aspirant academic. For transformation initiatives to have an impact, there is clearly a need to humanise the participants in academic development processes. What this implies is a full appreciation of the fact that academics enter universities with histories and experiences that inflect their work is central to the success of the transformation project. Thie article is premised on social justice which informs an understanding of transformation as the empowerment of academics through academic staff development programmes. Predicated on Sen's "capability" approach, the article argues that academic development in the context of South Africa cannot afford to ignore the fractured history of the country.

BACKGROUND: Despite benefits, structured mentorship needs to be better recognised within health profession training institutions (HPI) in Southern Africa (SA). Given the need to transform faculties and retain skilled personnel, mentoring programmes can be used to address these needs and warrant further exploration OBJECTIVE: To explore mentorship models within HPI in SA METHODS: During the annual South African Health Educationalists Conference (SAAHE) in 2022, five academics from HPIs in the region conducted an interactive national workshop on mentorship in health professions education. Following a presentation on mentorship models, participants were allowed to share their perspectives on current mentorship practices, gaps and recommendations for enhancing mentorship. Key concepts and themes generated are reported RESULTS: Three key approaches to mentorship models were identified during the workshop. These were 'top-down', 'ad-hoc' and 'supportive' approaches. Mentorship models were largely self-initiated and followed a traditional dyadic style with little innovation. Mandatory 'top-down', over-regulated programmes compared with 'grassroots' approaches were the two extremes reflected on the spectrum of models. While the benefits of mentorship were recognised, institution-wide implementation is lacking, reflecting varied or no widescale adoption. Mentorship could serve as a focused, formal strategy to ensure the demographic transformation of HPIs. Recommendations were made to measure the effectiveness of mentorship programmes against academic promotion criteria and research outputs CONCLUSION: While mentorship is positively viewed as a means to ensure improved equity and outputs, practical implementation is lacking. Mentorship programmes require further exploration of models and processes to facilitate successful implementation

BACKGROUND: Academic exclusion is practised in many national and international higher education institutions (HEIs), significantly impacting students' futures. Associated stress and anxiety remain a source of conflict between all role players. Reasons for, and the rationale behind, academic exclusion are complex and multifactorial OBJECTIVES: To investigate and describe contemporary practices and core themes relating to academic exclusion by reviewing the academic policies and procedures in a sample of six South African HEIs within a health professions education context METHODS: A prospective, pragmatic design was followed. This involved simple content analysis of source documents to identify similarities and differences in approach to academic exclusion, including the rationale and potential implications thereof RESULTS: The rationale for exclusion remains multifactorial. The majority of institutions linked exclusion to continued poor performance and failure to complete qualifications within the maximum time. All institutions allowed for an appeal process; however, this differed significantly between institutions CONCLUSION: There is a clear, defendable rationale for the exclusion, and practices that seek to prevent students from continuing should be guided by policies and procedures that are clear and contextually relevant. While the right to appeal exclusion is supported, arbitrary support for such appeals in the absence of merit defeats the aims, objectives and rationale for exclusion

Abstract In this article, we recover and expand our lenses on the research experience in dialogue with a part of María Bertely's production. To do this, and about the academic spaces that we shared with María, we return to some nodal analyses and reflections around the lines of research that we have developed for several decades regarding indigenous schooling in urban and migration contexts in Mexico. Every day, this field of study becomes more important in the face of the growing migration of the indigenous population to the various cities of the national territory. Among its multiple causes and consequences, both structural and cyclical, we analyze its links and implications with the schooling context, mainly in this text referring to elementary education considering national and international public policies. Bertely was a pioneer in studies that addressed the relationship between school and indigenous migration in urban contexts. In the fabric of these debates, the authors developed a series of investigations that make visible the right to education with cultural and linguistic recognition, mainly of indigenous populations in schools of the general system of the national territory. The text, more than reflecting a state of knowledge on the subject, documents certain journeys that refer to epistemic and methodological transformations that occurred in educational anthropological research. Likewise, it seeks to contribute to public policies in the education, diversity, and interculturalism field, an approach that currently guides the entire educational system in Mexico.

Resumen En este artículo recuperamos y ampliamos nuestras lentes sobre la experiencia de investigación en diálogo con una parte de la producción de María Bertely. Para ello, y en referencia a los espacios académicos que compartimos con María, retomamos algunos análisis y reflexiones nodales en torno a las líneas de investigación que hemos desarrollado desde hace varias décadas referente a escolarización indígena en contextos urbanos y de migración en México. Este campo de estudio cobra cada día mayor importancia ante la creciente migración de población indígena a las diversas urbes del territorio nacional. Entre sus múltiples causas y consecuencias, tanto estructurales como coyunturales, analizamos sus vínculos e implicaciones con el contexto escolarizado, principalmente en este texto referido a la educación básica, a la luz de las políticas públicas nacionales e internacionales. Bertely fue pionera en los estudios que abordaron la relación entre escuela y migración indígena en contextos urbanos. En el tejido de estos debates, las autoras desarrollamos una serie de investigaciones que visibilizan el derecho a la educación con reconocimiento cultural y lingüístico, y en particular de poblaciones indígenas en escuelas del sistema general del territorio nacional. El trabajo, más que reflejar un estado del conocimiento sobre el tema, documenta ciertos recorridos que refieren a transformaciones epistémicas y metodológicas ocurridas en la investigación antropológica educativa. Asimismo, busca contribuir a las políticas públicas en el campo de la educación y la diversidad e intercultural, enfoque que en la actualidad orienta a todo el sistema educativo en México.

Abstract From a feminist perspective, we present the possibilities and limits of a qualitative research technique that considers the active participation of people who articulate with the researcher under a critical perspective and with a rescue of their embodied emotional experience, such as the construction of Life Narratives. This feminist method challenges the traditional ways of generating qualitative knowledge by promoting a horizontal relationship between the researcher and the participant and aims to confront the questioned academic extractivism present in contemporary universities. In this case, four Life Narratives were generated with female academics who are or were directors of PhDs in Chilean universities and who led the quality assurance process of their programmes. The limits are presented both technically and also with regard to the effective possibilities of moving traditional structures in the form of knowledge production. Furthermore, although this technique seeks to address feminist criticisms related to leaving corporeality and emotionality out of the research, this incorporation is not always achieved with participants in positions of power. It is concluded that this method allows a critical reflexivity typical of feminist work, unravels the power dynamics present in the processes of knowledge construction and also allows us to see the consequences that research practices have both on the subjects involved and on their contexts.

Resúmen A partir de una perspectiva feminista, se presentan las posibilidades y límites de una técnica de investigación cualitativa que considera la participación activa de las personas que se articulan con la investigadora bajo una perspectiva crítica y con un rescate de su experiencia emocional corporeizada, como es la construcción de Narrativas de Vida. Este método feminista desafía las tradicionales maneras de generación de conocimiento cualitativo al promover una relación horizontal entre la persona investigadora y participante, y pretende hacer frente al cuestionado extractivismo académico, presente en la universidad contemporánea. En este caso, se generaron cuatro Narrativas de Vida con académicas que son o fueron directoras de programas de doctorado en universidades chilenas y que lideraron el proceso de aseguramiento de la calidad de sus programas. Se presentan los límites tanto técnicos como también respecto de las posibilidades efectivas de mover las estructuras tradicionales en la forma de producción de conocimiento. Asimismo, si bien esta técnica busca hacer frente a las críticas feministas relacionadas con el hecho de dejar la corporalidad y emocionalidad fuera de la investigación, no siempre esta incorporación es lograda con personas participantes ubicadas en posiciones de poder. Se concluye que este método permite una reflexividad critica propia de los trabajos feministas, permite desentrañar las dinámicas de poder presentes en los procesos de construcción del saber y además permite ver las consecuencias que las prácticas de investigación tienen tanto en los sujetos implicados como en sus contextos.

Abstract One of the demands of the academic community for the selection and accreditation processes of their members is to lead competitive research projects. Many young researchers face the challenge of being a “Principal Investigator” for the first time without prior experience or support. To this end, we believe that it is necessary to share experiences of presenting subsidized projects (also failures) among the academic community. The objective of this article is twofold: on the one hand, to consider the difficulty of structuring research projects to receive grants from the institutions and, on the other, to share and discuss strategies and complexities of the qualitative approach based on the project proposal made by the author. The referred project was presented in the 2021 call for "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento " of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain. The proposal is based on the fact that the transition from modernity to post-modernity materialises in different dimensions and processes that are relevant to their study from the social sciences perspective. One of them is the management of imaginaries associated to motherhood as a representative institution of a particular geographical and historical context. Understanding the associated processes, representations and narratives on motherhood is one of the challenges concerning today's society as a whole, not just women and mothers. The general objective of this project is to delve into the narratives of women and mothers who break (or wish to break) with the practices and meanings associated with "traditional motherhood". Thus, we aim to explore the processes of change, continuity, and subversion in the motherhood management within the framework of advanced modern or post-modern societies.

Resumo Una de las exigencias de la comunidad académica para los procesos de selección y acreditación de profesorado es la de dirigir proyectos de investigación competitivos subvencionados. Muchos jóvenes investigadores se encuentran con el reto de ser Investigador Principal (en adelante: IP) por primera vez sin experiencia previa o soporte. Creemos que es necesario compartir experiencias de presentación de proyectos subvencionados (también de fracaso) entre la comunidad académica y, especialmente, entre los jóvenes investigadores que empiezan a presentar proyectos de equipo como IP’s. Observamos, para el caso que nos ocupa, ciertas complejidades añadidas en proyectos pensados mediante diseño cualitativo debido, entre otros factores, al grado de sistematización, previsión y concreción a seguir. El objetivo principal de este artículo es el de reflexionar sobre algunas dificultades de estructurar y justificar proyectos de investigación de corte cualitativo con el fin de recibir financiación en el campo de las ciencias sociales. Con la convicción de la necesidad de compartir experiencias entre la comunidad académica, aquí se utiliza el ejemplo de un proyecto de investigación presentado en la convocatoria 2021 de “Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento” del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España. La temática del proyecto presentado refiere a la gestión de los imaginarios sobre la maternidad como institución social y política. La propuesta, de corte cualitativo, parte de la base que el tránsito de la modernidad a la posmodernidad se materializa en diferentes dimensiones y procesos asociados relevantes para el estudio desde las ciencias sociales. Una de ellas es la gestión de los imaginarios sobre la maternidad como institución representativa de un contexto geográfico e histórico determinado.

Abstract Introduction: Organizational management models influence supervisory activity in nursing. Collaborative practice between students and health professionals in the provision of person- and family-centred care allows them to evolve in the process of autonomy and knowledge transfer. However, this does not guarantee the acquisition of supervisory practices and inter-organisational interaction between the hospital and the academy, which are necessary for carrying out safe and qualified clinical procedures. However, this does not guarantee efficient acquisition of supervisory practices and inter-organizational interaction between hospital and academia, which are necessary to provide safe and effective clinical procedures. Objectives: The aim is to understand the possible dimensions of inter-organisational collaborative practice (academic and hospital), identifying its possible processes and results capable of guaranteeing the safety and quality of clinical procedures. Methods: This study emerges from a first mixed research intervention with N=50 nurse supervisors, non-randomized, using the snowball technique. We will, nevertheless, focus on its qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, using the Focus Group technique in which seven nurse supervisors took part. By using Bardin's assumptions, we conducted the content analysis of the participants' speech. Results: The content analysis allowed us to recognise the Processes of Inter-Collaborative Supervision in Nursing as the main dimension of analysis. The results identify, on the one hand, potential threats, highlighted by the time dedicated to supervision and access to information in the hospital context and, on the other hand, opportunities for articulation, highlighted by the importance of involving the various actors in each context, both in planning training programmes and in using supervisory strategies. Conclusion: This study explores the collaborative processes of nursing supervision between academia and hospitals, highlighting common elements of care and education. It reveals the influence of both bureaucratic and anarchic models in shaping these relationships. The findings underscore the importance of inter-organizational coordination, which plays a critical role in effective health promotion practices.

Resumen A nivel mundial, la permanencia estudiantil es un factor importante para generar estrategias que contribuyan a disminuir la tasa de deserción y garantizar la culminación exitosa de los procesos académicos de los estudiantes. El trabajo investigativo tiene como objetivo analizar las condiciones socioeconómicas y la permanencia de los estudiantes en la carrera de Odontología de la Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. La investigación se direccionó con enfoque positivista y utilizó el método cuantitativo correlacional, se consideró una muestra de 292 estudiantes, a quiénes se les aplicó una encuesta virtual y se utilizó el formulario de Google Forms y un cuestionario con escala de Likert. Para el análisis de los datos, se utilizó la versión 25.0 del software estadístico informático IBM SPSS v25 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences/Paquete Estadístico para las Ciencias Sociales). De acuerdo con el procedimiento estadístico descriptivo e inferencial, se determinó que los resultados muestran una correlación de Pearson de .495 entre las variables condición socioeconómica y permanencia. La correlación de Pearson es un coeficiente que mide la fuerza y dirección de la relación entre dos variables. El valor p asociado a esta correlación es de .000, lo que indica que la correlación es estadísticamente significativa. Esto significa que existe una relación positiva moderada entre las variables condición socioeconómica y permanencia.

Abstract Worldwide, student permanence is an important factor in generating strategies that contribute to reducing the dropout rate and guaranteeing the successful completion of students' academic processes. The objective of the investigative work is to analyze the socioeconomic conditions and the permanence of students in the Dentistry career at the San Gregorio de Portoviejo University. The research was directed with a positivist approach and used the quantitative correlational method, a sample of 292 students was considered, to whom a virtual survey was applied and the Google Forms form and a questionnaire with a Likert scale were used. For data analysis, version 25.0 of the computer statistical software IBM SPSS v25 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used. According to the descriptive and inferential statistical procedure, it was determined that the results show a Pearson correlation of .495 between the variables socioeconomic condition and permanence. The Pearson correlation is a coefficient that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The p value associated with this correlation is .000, indicating that the correlation is statistically significant. This means that there is a moderate positive relationship between the variables socioeconomic condition and permanence.

ABSTRACT Communication is one of those fields that must be counted on to promote development policies at all levels in Cuba. Although it is about positioning science, it must be used to make appropriate use of the various channels and resources through which the message circulates; but we must also have society, the journalist, communication manager, scientist or person responsible for communicating the scientific fact capable of developing a message aimed at a public that is sensitive or not aware of the science issue, and at the same time we must resort to technology to make the communicative product more credible, understandable, immediate and accessible. In this conglomerate subfields persist such as the professional, educational and investigative fields of a communicator. Communication and innovation in the professional practices of social communicators are a key combination to influence the different substantive processes of the university in the various areas: institutional, community, governmental, political, academic in tune with the infocommunication policies that are promoted in the current Cuban context.

RESUMEN La comunicación resulta uno de esos campos con los que hay que contar para impulsar políticas de desarrollo en todos los niveles en Cuba. Si bien se trata de posicionar la ciencia hay que recurrir a ella para hacer uso adecuado de los diversos canales y recursos por los que circula el mensaje; pero además hay que contar con la sociedad, el periodista, gestor de la comunicación, científico o persona responsable de comunicar el hecho científico capaz de elaborar un mensaje dirigido a un público sensibilizado o no con la cuestión ciencia, y a la vez hay que recurrir a la tecnología para hacer más creíble, entendible, inmediato y cercano el producto comunicativo. En este conglomerado persisten subcampos como el profesional, educativo e investigativo de un comunicador. Comunicación e innovación en las prácticas profesionales de los comunicadores sociales resultan un binomio clave para incidir desde los distintos procesos sustantivos de la universidad en los diversos ámbitos: institucional, comunitario, gubernamental, político, académico a tono con las políticas infocomunicacionales que se promueven en el contexto cubano actual.

RESUMEN El estudio del Estado del Arte para las investigaciones en Ciencias Pedagógicas o Ciencias de la Educación, es una temática con carencia de sistematización e implementación consensuada, al interior de la academia cubana, no así en otros países de Latinoamérica como México, Colombia y Perú. No obstante, los aportes visibilizados en estos países, redundan en qué es y significa esta herramienta, sus alcances y posturas tanto epistemológicas como metodológicas, para dejar una fisura en cuáles son los indicadores para medir la calidad de su construcción de manera consciente, al lograr se implemente en la formación académica de posgrado; y por consiguiente la construcción de informes de investigación de Maestría y Doctorado. Por ello, el autor dentro de la sección de Epistemología Pedagógica del Centro Latinoamericano de Estudios en Epistemología Pedagógica, aporta una Matriz de evaluación del Estado del Arte, que bajo un procedimiento matemático básico, establece con enfoque mixto, la posibilidad de dicha medición, sustentada en indicadores universalizados, con alcance crítico valorativo. La matriz aportada, no solo es de provecho para los procesos de construcción de informes de investigación, sino que su valor trasciende este marco para ser herramienta de utilidad por miembros de tribunales, plantas académicas, oponentes y tutores.

ABSTRACT The study of the State of the Art for research in Pedagogical Sciences or Educational Sciences is a topic with a lack of systematization and consensual implementation, within the Cuban academy, unlike in other Latin American countries such as Mexico, Colombia and Peru. However, the contributions made visible in these countries reflect what this tool is and means, its scope and both epistemological and methodological positions, to leave a gap in what the indicators are to measure the quality of its construction in a conscious manner, by achieving is implemented in postgraduate academic training; and consequently, the construction of Master's and Doctoral research reports. For this reason, the author, within the Pedagogical Epistemology section of the Latin American Center for Studies in Pedagogical Epistemology, provides an evaluation matrix of the State of the Art, which under a basic mathematical procedure, establishes with a mixed approach, the possibility of said measurement, supported in universalized indicators, with critical evaluative scope. The matrix provided is not only useful for the processes of constructing research reports, but its value transcends this framework to be a useful tool for members of tribunals, academic staff, opponents and tutors.
