RESUMO O quiabeiro (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) é uma cultura pouco estudada, quando comparada a outras espécies da família Malvaceae, por isso apresenta grande potencial para estudos, principalmente, na área de melhoramento genético. A caracterização morfológica é uma etapa de pré-melhoramento que pode ser realizada através de descritores quantitativos e/ou qualitativos. Sendo assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar morfologicamente acessos comerciais de quiabeiro para delimitar um programa de melhoramento para a cultura. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental do Instituto Federal de Alagoas - Campus Piranhas, utilizando o delineamento em blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos em cinco repetições. As plantas e os frutos foram caracterizados através dos descritores qualitativos. Foi utilizada a técnica de agrupamento hierárquico baseado na média não ponderada dos pares de acessos (UPGMA) para agrupar os acessos. A maior distância genética foi visualizada entre os acessos Santa Cruz-47 e Clemson Americano 80 e a menor entre os acessos Cariri e Apuim. Houve a formação de dois grupos pelo método de agrupamento UPGMA, sendo o grupo I formado pelos acessos Clemson Americano 80 e Canindé, e o grupo II dos demais acessos (Cariri, Apuim e Santa Cruz-47). Híbridos viáveis podem ser obtidos a partir de cruzamentos entre acessos do grupo I e do grupo II.

ABSTRACT Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) has been less studied compared to other crop species of the family Malvaceae, thus presenting high potential for research, mainly in genetic improvement. Morphological characterization is a pre-breeding step that can be conducted using quantitative and qualitative descriptors. Thus, the objective of this study was to morphologically characterize commercial okra accessions to provide a foundation for breeding programs in this crop species. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Federal Institute of Alagoas, Piranhas, AL, Brazil, using a randomized block design with five treatments and five replications. Okra plants and fruits were characterized through qualitative descriptors, using a hierarchical clustering of accessions based on Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). The greatest genetic distance was found between the Santa Cruz-47 and Clemson Americano-80 accessions, whereas the lowest distance was found between the Cariri and Apuim accessions. The UPGMA analysis resulted in two accession groups: group I consisting of Clemson Americano-80 and Canindé accessions, and group II consisting of Cariri, Apuim, and Santa Cruz-47 accessions. Viable hybrids can be obtained from crossings between accessions of group I and group II.

RESUMO: O presente artigo objetiva avaliar o efeito da remoção da dominância apical em estádios fenológicos, nos caracteres agronômicos de cultivares de soja. O experimento foi implantado na área didática-experimental do Instituto Federal de Educação e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul, Campus Ibirubá, na safra 2020/2021, sob delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em arranjo de parcelas subdivididas, com três repetições. As parcelas principais eram compostas pelos cinco cultivares (DM53i54 IPRO, Zeus IPRO, Lança IPRO, DM5958 IPRO e Delta IPRO) e as subparcelas, pelos estádios fenológicos de remoção de dominância apical (testemunha, V2, V4 e V6). As características morfológicas foram avaliadas em diferentes estádios. Como resultados, verificaram-se diferenças entre os cultivares, que seguiram suas morfologias pré-definidas. A remoção de dominância apical, reduziu aspectos como o número de nós e legumes na haste principal, além da altura de inserção do primeiro legume. Como estratégia de compensação, os cultivares desenvolvem mecanismos de ramificação, acrescendo até 130% no número de legumes nos ramos. Verifica-se que a remoção do ápice caulinar é capaz de modificar aspectos morfológicos em plantas de soja, contudo, seu rendimento tende a ser mantido.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of removing apical dominance at phenological stages on the agronomic traits of soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted in the 2020/2021 growing season inthe teaching-experimental area of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul, Campus Ibirubá, under a randomized block design in a split-plot arrangement, with three replications. The main plots were composed of five soybean cultivars (DM53i54 IPRO, Zeus IPRO, Lanza IPRO, DM5958 IPRO, and Delta IPRO), and the subplots consisted of the phenological stages of apical dominance removal (control, V2, V4, and V6). Morphological traits were evaluated at different stages. Differences were observed between cultivars, which followed their pre-defined morphologies. Apical dominance removal reduced aspects such as the number of nodes and legumes on the main stem and the first legumeinsertion height. Cultivars developed branching mechanismsas a compensation strategy, increasing the number of legumes on the branches by up to 130%. The removal of the shoot apex can modify morphological aspects in soybean plants,but their yield tends to be maintained.

Resumen Introducción. Las arvenses son uno de los principales problemas en la productividad agrícola, debido a interacciones con el cultivo, como efectos alelopáticos sobre la germinación. Objetivo. Evaluar la alelopatía del pasto kikuyo (Cenchrus clandestinus) en la germinación de frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) variedad ICA Cerinza. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se realizó en el laboratorio de Control de Calidad de la Universidad de Pamplona, Campus Central, Pamplona, Norte de Santander, Colombia, en mayo-agosto 2022. A cada unidad experimental (caja de Petri) con doce semillas de frijol se le agregó 6 mL de extracto acuoso de kikuyo (hoja, tallo y raíz) en tres concentraciones (1, 2,5 y 5 %), más un testigo (0 %), para un total de doce tratamientos. En el lapso de 0 a 12 días, se registró el número de semillas germinadas (NSG), se calculó el índice de tasa de germinación (ITG) y el índice de germinación (IG), y se determinó el perfil biomolecular del extracto acuoso mediante la técnica de espectroscopia transformada de Fourier. Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar con arreglo factorial (3x4), con medidas repetidas en cada unidad experimental. Los factores intersujetos fueron el tipo de órgano y concentración, y el factor intrasujeto fue el tiempo (12 días) de evaluación. Resultados. Se observaron diferencias significativas (p<0,001) para NSG entre tratamientos por efecto de la concentración del extracto acuoso al igual que para IG, mientras que ITG dependió del órgano (p<0,05) y la concentración (p<0,001); ambos fueron afectados de forma negativa conforme aumentó la concentración. En el espectro infrarrojo del extracto se determinaron polifenoles, nitrilos y siloxanos. Conclusión. C. clandestinus afectó NSG, el ITG e IG de P. vulgaris, con efecto alelopático del extracto acuoso de hoja en mayor concentración. En los extractos acuosos se determinaron polifenoles, nitrilos y siloxanos, asociados a efecto alelopático.

Abstract Introduction. Weeds are one of the main problems in agricultural productivity due to their interactions with crops, such as alelopatic effects on germination. Objective. To evaluate the allelopathy of kikuyo grass (Cenchrus clandestinus) on the germination of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) variety ICA Cerinza. Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Quality Control Laboratory of the Universidad de Pamplona, Central Campus, Pamplona, Norte de Santander, Colombia, from May to August 2022. To each experimental unit (Petri dishe) with 12 been seeds, 6 mL of kikuyo aqueous extract (leaf, stem, and root) at three concentrations (1, 2.5, and 5 %), plus a control (0 %), were added, totaling 12 treatments. From day 0 to 12, the number of germinated seeds (NGS) was recorded, and the germination rate index (GRI) and germination index (IG) were calculated. The biomolecular profile of the aqueous extract was determined using the Fourier-transform spectroscopy. A completely randomized experimental design with a factorial arrangement (3x4), with repeated measures in each experimental unit, was employed. The intersuject factors were the organ type and concentration, while the intrasubject factor was the evaluation time (12 days). Results. Significant differences (p<0.001) were observed for NSG among treatments due to the concentration of the aqueous extract, as well as for IG, while GRI depended on the organ (p<0.05) and concentration (p<0.001), both negatively affected as the concentration increased. The infrared spectrum of the extract determined the presence of polyphenols, nitriles, and siloxanes. Conclusión. C. clandestinus affected NGS, GRI, and GI of P. vulgaris, with an allelopathic effect of the leaf aqueous extract at higher concentrations. Polyphenols, nitriles, and siloxanes associated with allelopathic effects were identified in the aqueous extracts.

Abstract: Initial teacher education aims to teach how to teach. To this end, it has been proposed that programs formally incorporate opportunities for understanding and training in pedagogical practices, both in courses and in the field. This study aims to explore the planning, execution, and contribution to professional training of the incorporation of opportunities for learning pedagogical practice (OLP) in courses offered on the university campus. A descriptive study was conducted in three teacher training programs: pre-school, primary, and secondary education. First, planned OLPs were identified by analysing the syllabus of 72 courses. Then, the perception of executed OLPs was examined by surveying 231 student teachers. Finally, the contribution of OLPs to professional training was investigated by interviewing 8 student teachers. The most planned OLPs by teacher educators were planning learning experiences and simulating what a teacher does during a learning experience. The latter was the most frequently executed OLP by the student teachers, who acknowledged that simulations allow them to: 1) apply the content, 2) learn from mistakes, 3) practice metacognitive monitoring and self-assessment, and 4) approach the complexity of teaching. The findings of this research can be used by training institutions to support the incorporation and design the implementation of OLP teaching from the first year of the training program, with particular emphasis on simulating what a teacher does before and during a learning experience.

Resumen: La formación inicial docente busca enseñar a enseñar. Para ello, se ha propuesto que los programas incorporen formalmente instancias de comprensión y entrenamiento en prácticas pedagógicas, tanto en las asignaturas como en terreno. Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la planificación, ejecución y contribución a la formación profesional de la incorporación de oportunidades de aprendizaje de la práctica pedagógica (OAP) en asignaturas impartidas en el campus universitario. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo en tres programas de formación docente: educación de párvulos, básica y media. Primero, se identificaron las OAP planificadas analizando las calendarizaciones de 72 asignaturas. Luego, se examinó la percepción al respecto de las OAP ejecutadas encuestando a 231 docentes en formación. Finalmente, se indagó sobre la contribución de las OAP a la formación profesional entrevistando a 8 docentes en formación. Las OAP más planificadas por los formadores de docentes fueron planificar experiencias de aprendizaje y simular lo que hace un docente durante una experiencia de aprendizaje. Esta última fue la OAP más frecuentemente ejecutada por los docentes en formación, quienes reconocen que las simulaciones les permiten: 1) aplicar los contenidos, 2) aprender de los errores, 3) ejercitar el monitoreo metacognitivo y la autoevaluación y 4) aproximarse a la complejidad de la enseñanza. Los hallazgos de esta investigación pueden ser utilizados por las instituciones formadoras para fundamentar la incorporación y diseñar la implementación de la enseñanza de las OAP desde el primer año del trayecto formativo, haciendo un énfasis particular en la simulación de lo que hace un docente antes y durante una experiencia de aprendizaje.

Resumen: ¿Puede un edificio no sólo alojar, sino promover la creatividad y la innovación? El Centro de Innovación INES en el Campus Collao de la Universidad del Bío-Bío en Concepción, Chile, responde afirmativamente a esta pregunta. El edificio de cinco pisos, de hormigón pigmentado rojizo, se distingue de los diseños isomorfos y de planta libre que predominan en la arquitectura de la educación y de oficinas contemporánea. Un espacio central tipo atrio conecta verticalmente todos los pisos. A diferencia de los atrios convencionales, este rompe con la idea de un espacio uniforme: ningún piso ni sus conexiones son iguales. El fuerte carácter espacial del edificio busca fomentar la colaboración y promover una cultura de trabajo dinámica. Si tiene éxito en ello lo determinarán investigadores y usuarios, pero su diseño audaz e intrigante seguramente atraerá a la comunidad universitaria, consolidándolo como una adición destacada al campus.

Abstract: Can a building support, better still, promote creativity and innovation? The INES Innovation Center at Campus Collao of Universidad del Bío-Bío in Concepción, Chile, answers this question affirmatively. This five-story building of reddish pigmented concrete stands out against the prevalent isomorphic, undifferentiated free plans that dominate contemporary educational and office architecture alike. A central atrium-like space connects all floors vertically. Unlike traditional atriums, this one rejects a one-size-fits-all approach: no two floors or their connections are alike. The building’s strong spatial character aims to promote a dynamic work culture and foster collaboration. Whether it succeeds is for researchers and users to determine, but its bold and intriguing design will certainly attract the university community, making it a standout addition to the campus.

International students are susceptible to threats to their well-being, as their immigrant status in host societies exposes them to unique challenges such as language difficulties, cultural differences, social isolation, and discrimination (to list a few). Relationships are an important component of individuals' well-being that can mitigate these challenges. Hence, this study aimed to explore the experiences of relational well-being of African international students at a South African university. The study adopted a qualitative design wherein semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data from 16 participants (mean age = 24; females = 5; males = 11). Using thematic analysis, we found that African international students have reciprocal positive relationships with local and other immigrant students, and these contribute to well-being outcomes in the social, psychological, and educational domains of life. In addition, the prevailing institutional culture and the availability of spaces that provide opportunities for interaction are important determinants of relational experiences in the university campus space. It is recommended that student affairs departments create spaces in which African international students could further engage and interact with a diverse group of students to enhance their relational well-being.

Abstract This article presents some of the results regarding sociocultural factors that favor the permanence in Higher Education of the Bribri indigenous community. These are derived from the research entitled Permanence of the Bribri indigenous student body of the Rodrigo Facio Brenes Campus, University of Costa Rica: intercultural approach, which was carried out between 2018-2019. The research starts from the naturalistic paradigm under the qualitative methodology and employs the phenomenological method in the research design, access to the field, elaboration of instruments and analysis of the data collected. In-depth interviews and focus groups, as information collection techniques, were used to learn about the university experience of six indigenous students from the Bribri people. The study uses an intercultural approach in the analysis of the factors that promote the permanence of the undergraduate population in higher education, and it is this approach that allows addressing the sociocultural factor in the phenomenon of permanence. Among the main findings is the tendency of the participating population to give special recognition and value to their own culture by rescuing ancestral and spiritual knowledge that makes them proud and identifies them in the university context. It is also concluded the importance of favoring from the university the necessary adjustments so they remains in the higher education system, also, the efforts that the students make are highlighted, among them the cultural ones, when having to move from the indigenous territory to the urban, which represents a way change of context and the complexity of establishing new relationships with other educational agents and factors that has a significant influence in their integral development and academic success.

Resumen El presente artículo presenta los resultados respecto a factores socioculturales que favorecen la permanencia en la Educación Superior de la población indígena bribri. Estos se derivan de la investigación titulada Permanencia del estudiantado indígena Bribri de la Sede Rodrigo Facio Brenes, Universidad de Costa Rica: una mirada desde el enfoque intercultural, la cual fue llevada a cabo entre los años 2018-2019. La investigación parte del paradigma naturalista bajo el enfoque cualitativo y emplea el método fenomenológico en el diseño investigativo, acceso al campo, elaboración de instrumentos y análisis de los datos recolectados. Se emplearon entrevistas a profundidad y grupos focales para conocer la experiencia universitaria de seis estudiantes indígenas provenientes del pueblo Bribri. El estudio utiliza un enfoque intercultural en el análisis de los factores, que promueve la permanencia de la población en la educación superior, y es esa mirada la que permite abordar el factor sociocultural en el fenómeno de la permanencia. Dentro de los principales hallazgos se reconoce la tendencia de la población participante a brindarle especial reconocimiento y valoración a su propia cultura mediante el rescate de saberes ancestrales y espirituales que les enorgullecen e identifican en el contexto universitario. Se concluye, además, la importancia de favorecer, desde la universidad, los ajustes necesarios para que la población indígena permanezca en el sistema educativo superior. Asimismo, se destacan los esfuerzos que el estudiantado realiza al tener que trasladarse del territorio indígena a lo urbano, lo que representa un cambio de contexto, y la complejidad de establecer nuevas relaciones con otros agentes educativos, factores que influyen de manera significativa en su desarrollo integral y éxito académico.

Abstract This article gathers the results of a research conducted from January to May 2023, within the framework of the self-evaluation process of the Public Accounting degree program taught at the Guápiles Campus of the University of Costa Rica (UCR). The general objective was to determine whether the exit profile of the graduates met the needs of employers and to identify opportunities for improvement. The methodology was qualitative, using semi-structured questionnaires for employers and graduates. Focus groups were also used for other stakeholders. The results show a positive perception of the employers about the professional competencies, skills, and values of the graduates, considering them suitable for hiring. They also highlight competencies such as ethics, responsibility, administration, and management, as well as values and attitudes such as reliability, transparency, and leadership. However, areas for improvement are noted, such as English language proficiency, technological skills, practical experience, and knowledge of tax legislation. Despite these areas for improvement, both employers and graduates value the career favorably, especially in terms of professional competencies and values developed during university education. It is concluded that it is pertinent to continue offering the program due to the very favorable evaluations of employers and graduates, especially in terms of professional competencies, values and attitudes developed during university education.

Resumo O uso de preservativos pode ser influenciado por aspectos psicológicos e socioculturais, que podem ser modulados por atitudes individuais. O objetivo foi propor uma versão em português brasileiro da Short-Form Condom Attitude Scale (Short-Form CAS), descrevendo os procedimentos de tradução, adaptação transcultural e avaliação das propriedades psicométricas em uma amostra de universitários. Trata-se de estudo transversal com estudantes matriculados na Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Campus Ribeirão Preto (n = 491; 61,2% feminino; média de idade: 22 anos; desvio-padrão: quatro anos). Foi realizada análise fatorial confirmatória. O modelo unifatorial com sete itens apresentou boa validade fatorial e confiabilidade, sugerindo ser a melhor solução fatorial para a Short-Form CAS. Há poucos estudos sobre os fatores comportamentais associados ao uso de preservativos em populações-chave, o que pode ser influenciado pela falta de instrumentos. A principal contribuição deste estudo foi propor uma versão simples e adaptada transculturalmente da Short-Form CAS com algumas propriedades psicométricas verificadas. Uma vez que o uso de preservativos é um componente do comportamento sexual de risco, a escala se apresenta como uma nova opção para futuros estudos na população brasileira. socioculturais individuais ShortForm Short Form CAS, , CAS) tradução universitários Tratase Trata USP, USP (USP) n 491 612 61 2 61,2 feminino idade anos desviopadrão desvio padrão desvio-padrão anos. . anos) confirmatória confiabilidade populaçõeschave, populaçõeschave populações chave, chave populações-chave instrumentos verificadas risco brasileira (USP 49 6 61, 4

Abstract The condom use can be influenced by psychological and sociocultural aspects, which can be modulated by individual’s attitudes. The aim was to propose a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Short-Form Condom Attitude Scale (Short-Form CAS), describing all procedures of translation, transcultural adaptation, and psychometric properties evaluation when applied to undergraduate students. A cross sectional study was conducted among students enrolled at University of São Paulo (USP), Campus Ribeirão Preto (n = 491; 61.2% female; average age: 22 years; standard deviation: four years). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed. A one-factor model with seven items exhibited good factorial validity and reliability, suggesting to be a better factorial solution of the Short-Form CAS in the sample. Few studies have been carried out on the behavioral factors associated with condom use in key populations, which can be exacerbated by a lack of appropriate scales. Therefore, the main contribution of the present study was to propose a simplified and transculturally adapted version of the Short-form CAS with some psychometric properties verified. Since the use of condoms is a component of the study of sexual risk behavior, this scale might be an option to be applied in various Brazilian population segments for this purpose. aspects individuals individual s attitudes ShortForm Short Form CAS, , CAS) translation adaptation USP, USP (USP) n 491 612 61 2 61.2 female age years deviation years. . years) performed onefactor one reliability sample populations scales Therefore Shortform form verified behavior purpose (USP 49 6 61. 4

Abstract Vegetative propagation with stem cuttings requires the origination of shoots and roots to form a complete plant. Factors involved in root generation have been researched, but little work has been done on pH. The research was conducted at the College of Postgraduates, Montecillo Campus, Texcoco, Mexico in 2021. In Ficus carica cuttings, the following were evaluated: pH values (4, 7, and 11) in solution with or without auxin, dilution (alcohol or NaOH) of indole butyric acid (IBA), concentration of alcohol to dissolve IBA (10, 15, and 20%), in the percentage of rooting, number of roots, length of the longest root, percentage of sprouted buds at 21 days, date of establishment and anatomical changes at 0, 3 and 6 days after the cutting. Meristematic cells and root primordia were found up to day 6. One hundred percent rooting was obtained in all treatments. pH was not shown to have an effect on the auxin solution, but it did influence the percentage of rooting assessed individually. The way auxin was diluted influenced the number of roots due to the concentration of alcohol used, lower concentration (10%) had a positive effect.

Resumen La propagación vegetativa con estacas de tallo requiere originar brotes y raíces para formar una planta completa. Se han investigado factores que intervienen en la generación de raíces, pero poco se ha trabajado con el pH. La investigación se realizó en el Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Montecillo, Texcoco, México en 2021. En estacas de Ficus carica se evaluaron: valores de pH (4, 7 y 11) en solución con o sin auxina, la dilución (alcohol o NaOH) del ácido indolbutírico (AIB), concentración de alcohol para disolver AIB (10, 15 y 20%), en el porcentaje de enraizamiento, número de raíces, longitud de la raíz más larga, porcentaje de yemas brotadas a los 21 días, fecha de establecimiento y cambios anatómicos en 0, 3 y 6 días de estacado. Se encontraron células meristemáticas y primordios de raíz hasta el día 6. Se obtuvo 100% de enraizamiento en todos los tratamientos. El pH no demostró tener efecto en la solución auxínica, pero si influyó en el porcentaje de enraizamiento evaluado individualmente. La forma de diluir la auxina influyó en el número de raíces por la concentración de alcohol utilizada, menor concentración (10%) tuvo efecto positivo.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the differences in perceptions of learning in virtual and in-person modalities experienced during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in a group of pre-service teachers at the National University of the Altiplano (Puno - Peru). The method used was the hypothetical-deductive approach, of a descriptive nature, with an intrinsic comparative design, and data collection was conducted cross-sectionally. The sample consisted of 116 students from the fifth to the tenth semester during the academic period of 2022-II. A validated instrument with an internal consistency of 0.978 on the Cronbach's alpha was employed. Data processing was carried out using descriptive statistics and Student's t-tests to determine significant differences. The results reveal the presence of significant differences in the perception of learning between virtual and in-person modalities, with an average score of 3.20 and 2.88, respectively, on a scale of 1 to 4. In conclusion, these findings imply that, at least during the academic period of 2022-II at this institution, students experienced more effective and satisfying learning in the in-person modality. This could be attributed to several factors, such as direct interaction with teachers and peers, access to physical resources on the university campus, and greater structure in in-person classes.

RESUMEN El objetivo fue determinar las diferencias sobre las percepciones del aprendizaje en la modalidad virtual y presencial experimentadas durante y después de la pandemia por COVID-19 en un grupo de profesores en formación de la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano (Puno - Perú). El método empleado fue el hipotético deductivo, de tipo descriptivo, de diseño comparativo intrínseco y su forma de obtención de datos fue la transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 116 estudiantes del quinto al décimo ciclo correspondientes al periodo académico de 2022-II. Se empleó un instrumento validado con una consistencia interna de 0.978 en el alfa de Cronbach. El procesamiento de datos se realizó mediante pruebas de estadística descriptiva y pruebas t de Student para determinar si existen diferencias significativas. Los resultados indican la presencia de diferencias significativas en la percepción del aprendizaje entre las modalidades virtual y presencial, con una puntuación media de 3.20 y 2.88, respectivamente, en una escala del 1 al 4. En conclusión, estos hallazgos sugieren que, al menos durante el periodo académico de 2022-II en esta institución, los estudiantes experimentaron un aprendizaje más efectivo y satisfactorio en la modalidad presencial. Esto podría deberse a una serie de factores, como la interacción directa con profesores y compañeros, la accesibilidad a recursos físicos en el campus universitario y una mayor estructura en las clases presenciales.

Resumen Al considerar la importancia que actualmente tiene el compromiso social, se ha explorado la perspectiva de uno de los campos de aplicación dentro de las instituciones de educación superior. En este contexto, se examinó la situación actual de la Universidad Técnica de Machala respecto a responsabilidad social y consumo sostenible, desempeñando funciones relacionadas con la enseñanza e investigación. Se llevó a cabo una recopilación de datos que permitió elaborar una evaluación sobre las deficiencias de conocimiento en cuanto a responsabilidad social y cómo esto afecta al consumo responsable. Después, se evaluó el campus en términos de responsabilidad, administración del conocimiento social y participación comunitaria, revelando un nivel de conocimiento insatisfactorio. En cuanto a los asuntos de responsabilidad social y consumo sustentable, se observa una limitación en los resultados relacionados con la gestión y la participación. Sin embargo, la producción científica, junto con los programas y grupos de investigación, se enfocan principalmente en temas vinculados a la conservación del medio ambiente, el bienestar social y la innovación. A pesar de las carencias en el entendimiento de la responsabilidad social, los participantes mostraron una completa comprensión de los impactos ambientales resultantes del consumo sostenible.

Abstract When considering the importance that social commitment currently has, the perspective of one of the fields of application within higher education institutions has been explored. In this context, the current situation of the Technical University of Machala was examined regarding Social Responsibility and Sustainable Consumption, performing functions related to teaching and research. A data collection was carried out that made it possible to prepare an evaluation of the deficiencies in knowledge regarding Social Responsibility and how this affects responsible consumption. The campus was then evaluated in terms of accountability, social knowledge management, and community participation, revealing an unsatisfactory level of knowledge. Regarding the issues of social responsibility and sustainable consumption, a limitation is observed in the results related to management and participation. However, scientific production, along with research programs and groups, focus mainly on issues linked to environmental conservation, social well-being and innovation. Despite gaps in understanding of social responsibility, participants showed a complete understanding of the environmental impacts resulting from sustainable consumption.
