Resumen: La investigación determinó el efecto de la mediación de un videojuego educativo en el fortalecimiento de la resolución de problemas de matemáticas. El método cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo fue aplicado. La muestra fue no probabilística con 20 estudiantes de la Institución Educativa San Jorge, en la vereda Las Damas, Municipio de Purificación, Departamento de Tolima. Las variables estudiadas fueron: desempeño en resolución de problemas, mecánicas y percepción del videojuego. La encuesta inicial reflejó que un 90% no poseían habilidades matemáticas básicas y tenían una percepción negativa del área. Entonces, fue diseñada una estrategia educativa con un videojuego denominado Corredor Matemático de Pensamiento Variacional (Comapeva), en tercera persona con Unity 3D, Adobe Ilustrator y Autodesk 3d. Fue protagonizado por Comaco: joven aventurero que superó retos matemáticos. El guion narrativo combinó elementos del constructivismo, Aprendizaje Basado en Retos (ABR) y modelo instruccional ADDIE (Análisis, Diseño, Desarrollo, Implementación y Evaluación). La herramienta fue implementada con el apoyo de los docentes. Con el videojuego el 100% de los estudiantes resolvieron retos con diversas estrategias. Disminuyó un 21% el tiempo de desarrollo de los problemas, y un 33% las solicitudes de apoyo del docente. La concentración, atención, memoria, agilidad mental, interpretación y análisis fueron fortalecidas. El videojuego facilitó la construcción de conocimientos en matemáticas de forma sustancial. En consecuencia, fue innovador, motivador y permitió la trasformación de prácticas educativas según las necesidades de aprendizaje.

Abstract: The research considers the effect of the mediation of an educational video game in strengthening mathematics problem solving. The quantitative method with a descriptive scope was applied. The sample was non-probabilistic with 20 students from the San Jorge Educational Institution, in Las Damas village, Municipality of Purificación, Department of Tolima. The variables studied were problem-solving performance, game mechanics, and videogame perception. The initial survey showed that 90% of the students did not have basic mathematical skills and had a negative perception of the subject area. Therefore, an educational strategy was then designed using a video game called the Variational Thinking Mathematical Corridor (Comapeva). The game was developed in third person using Unity 3D, Adobe Illustrator, and Autodesk 3d. It starred Comaco: a young adventurer who overcame mathematical challenges. The narrative script combined elements of constructivism, Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) and instructional model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). The tool was implemented with the support of the teachers. With the video game, 100% of the students were able to solve challenges using various strategies. Problem development time decreased by 21%, and teacher support requests decreased by 33%. Concentration, attention, memory, mental agility, interpretation, and analysis skills were all strengthened. The video game facilitated the construction of knowledge in mathematics in a substantial way. Consequently, the video game was found to be innovative and motivating, and it allowed for the transformation of educational practices according to the students' learning needs.

SUMMARY: There exists a scarcity of neurocognitive research that has successfully used electrophysiology as an objective tool to assess different learning modalitiesthat are commonly used in anatomy. The objective of this study was to explore the trend in the expression of brain waves in medical students when using different didactic strategies in learning anatomy. An exploratory, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted on 22 first- semester medical students in anatomy. Using didactic strategies with different pedagogical tools such as biological models (human skulls and pig hearts) and/or digital application (Visible Body software), and different evaluation methods, students were grouped into three groups: "EOR1" students who learned using a skull and were evaluated with it; "EOV1" students who learned using a pig heart and were evaluated with the Visible Body software; and "EOV2" for students who learned through the Visible Body software and were evaluated with it. During the evaluation, each student was monitored in real-time using an electroencephalogram and the Emotiv EPOC brain-computer interface system to record the electro-physiological activity of beta (B), theta (T), and gamma (G) waves. The data obtained (the trend of the electrical activity of each wave and its relationship with students' performance in each didactic strategy) were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Groups EOR1 and EOV1 had satisfactory results in their evaluations and showed a predominance of B waves (x=67.33) and T waves (x=57.67). Additionally, a strongly positive correlation (r=0.82) was found between the presence of B waves and the duration of T waves. Students who used three-dimensional biological models as a pedagogical tool showed a predominance of B and T waves, which are associated with sensorimotor and exploratory learning necessary for studying anatomy.

RESUMEN: Son escasos los estudios de neurociencia cognitiva que permitan comprender, de manera objetiva, las manifestaciones electrofisiológicas de los estudiantes de medicina expuestos a diferentes herramientas pedagógicas utilizadas en el área de anatomía. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar la tendencia en la expresión de las ondas cerebrales de estudiantes de medicina, al utilizar diferentes estrategias didácticas en el aprendizaje de la anatomía. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio, observacional, de corte transversal en 22 estudiantes de medicina de primer semestre en anatomía. Utilizando estrategias didácticas con diferentes herramientas pedagógicas; como modelos biológicos (cráneos humanos y corazones porcinos) y/o aplicación digital (software Visible Body (SVB)), y diferente método de evaluación, se agruparon los estudiantes en tres grupos: “EOR1” estudiantes que aprendieron usando un cráneo y se evaluaron con este, “EOV1” estudiantes que aprendieron usando un corazón porcino y fueron evaluados con el SVB, y “EOV2” para los estudiantes que aprendieron a través del SVB y fueron evaluados con este. Durante la evaluación, cada estudiante fue monitorizado en tiempo real, utilizando un electroencefalograma y el sistema interfaz cerebro - computadora Emotiv EPOC para registrar la actividad electrofisiológica de las ondas beta (B), theta (T) y gamma (G). Los datos obtenidos (tendencia de la actividad eléctrica de cada onda y su relación con el desempeño de los estudiantes en cada estrategia didáctica) fueron analizados usando el índice de correlación de Pearson. Los grupos EOR1 y EOV1, tuvieron resultados satisfactorios en sus evaluaciones y presentaron predominio de ondas B (X=67,33) y T (X=57,67), además, se evidenció una correlación fuertemente positiva (r=0,82) entre la presencia de B y el tiempo de permanencia de T. Los estudiantes que utilizaron modelos biológicos tridimensionales como herramienta pedagógica presentaron predominio de las ondas B y T, asociadas con aprendizajes sensoriomotores y de tipo exploratorio necesarios para el estudio en anatomía.

The concept of digital transformation (DT) has revolutionized different facets of society including institutions of learning, where it has continued to influence teaching, learning and research. Over time and with the continued technological advancements in biological science disciplines, it has become clear that the increased convergence between these disciplines and digital systems application will become more apparent. For example, the advent and application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated biological processes have afforded unique huge data sets with high societal impact. As such, digitalization of the bioeconomy remains necessary. The digitalization of the biosciences has birthed emerging concepts like "digital biology", "engineered biology" and "bio-revolution" and involve computer-centered biosciences. These are built around the integration of scientific data, modeling at several levels, as well as networked science. Nonetheless, it is still plagued by information derivation policies and technicality issues. Although, digital biology has seen a major boost in recent years with the emergence of new and updated digital biology databases and platforms for advanced computational modelling, and connection and visualization of bio-data at a molecular level, more efforts are needed from governmental stakeholders (policy makers), industry and academia to enhance the impact of computational automation and digital transformation in bioscience activities. Hence, a steady upscale in digitalization of the biosciences would ensure bioprocess development, increase teaching, research efficiency and productivity, birth more innovative future applications for various industries, and thereby impact several aspects of life. This article presents how selected biological science disciplines have been digitally transformed through data analytics and how the concept could be further explored in advancing teaching, learning and research.

Although widely acknowledged for their significance, contemporary Teacher Professional Development (TPD) initiatives have faced growing criticism due to their failure to effectively foster the seamless incorporation of technology into educators' pedagogical practices. Educators depend on their informal Communities of Practice (CoPs) rather than TPD programmes to acquire the knowledge they need to both competently and meaningfully integrate technology into their pedagogical practices. This study investigates the innovative approaches educators employ in three (n=3) Western Cape public primary schools to create a hybrid CoP in their school to improve their collective technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK). The criticism of TPD efforts extends beyond primary and secondary school contexts. This challenge substantially impacts teacher education and highlights the increasing necessity for developing digital literacy among the professoriate in this discipline. The theoretical basis for this study was Wenger's (1998) CoP social learning theory and Mishra and Koehler's (2006) TPACK model. The study employed a qualitative research approach involving a cohort of 12 educators who engaged in open-ended survey questionnaires, one-on-one semi-structured interviews, and observational sessions. Additionally, the research incorporated one (n=1) school principal and two (n=2) deputy principals who actively contributed to all data collection modalities except for the survey questionnaires. Document analysis, specifically from WhatsApp group chat screenshots, was conducted across all three (n=3) schools as part of the research approach. While the data set used in this study originates from a study involving school educators, it aims to extend the findings to determine their significance for teacher education. The results revealed that the sampled educators had established an informal hybrid CoP at their respective schools through innovative approaches, such as joint enterprise, mutual engagement, and shared repertoire. These educators gained TPACK from one another throughout this process. Universities and provincial governments might profit from the findings, the knowledge gained from which could assist in their structuring of TPD programmes in ways which would foster their organic development in educators' particular employment contexts.

Abstract It is essential to consider the need for investigative procedures anchored in a viable and appropriate way of producing knowledge, as well as paying attention to the ethical research procedures and the context of the investigation explored by the researcher. In this context, this article addresses qualitative research through the epistemological axis of theory as an expression of practice, focusing on the theoretical-methodological approach of Collective Knowledge Systematization (SOK). We understand the epistemological axis of theory as an expression of practice as the experience and critical analysis of a methodological process that seeks to alter established social relations in the educational environment. Thus, our research objective is to identify the possibilities of using SOK in the constitution of qualitative research design. To achieve this, we used narrative review as our method, a state-of-the-art research type, encompassing the following stages: definition of the research object, research problem, criteria for exclusion and inclusion, data analysis items, analysis categories, data organization, interpretation of results, and final recommendations. Data collection occurred through digital search platforms such as BDTD and the digital library of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná, focusing on dissertations and theses that addressed "theory as an expression of practice" and "collective knowledge systematization" as investigative methods of qualitative research in their works. The data were organized into comparative tables, highlighting the methodological aspect, through the following analysis categories: theme, method, data collection procedure, and data analysis technique; aiming to verify how SOK is utilized: as continued education and/or a qualitative research method. Following this data analysis and interpretation, we conclude that SOK is a viable alternative for research in various knowledge areas that address the teaching-learning process among peers and can be used both as continued education and as a qualitative research method.

Resumo É importante considerar a necessidade de procedimentos investigativos viáveis e adequados para a produção de conhecimento, bem como atentar-se à ética na pesquisa e ao contexto da investigação explorado pelo pesquisador. Desse modo, este artigo aborda a pesquisa qualitativa pelo eixo epistemológico “teoria como expressão da prática”, com enfoque na abordagem teórico-metodológica da Sistematização Coletiva do Conhecimento (SCC). Compreendemos por esse eixo epistemológico, a vivência e a análise crítica de um processo metodológico que busca alterar as relações sociais estabelecidas no ambiente educacional. Assim, nosso objetivo de pesquisa é identificar quais as possibilidades de uso da SCC na constituição de design de pesquisas qualitativas. Para isso, utilizamos como método a revisão narrativa, pesquisa do tipo estado da arte, contemplando as seguintes etapas: definição do objeto de pesquisa, problema de pesquisa, critérios de exclusão e inclusão, itens da análise de dados, categorias de análise, organização dos dados, interpretação dos resultados e recomendações finais. A coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio de plataformas digitais de busca como a BDTD, e biblioteca digital da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, com foco em dissertações e teses que abordassem “teoria como expressão da prática” e “sistematização coletiva do conhecimento” como método investigativo de pesquisa qualitativa em seus trabalhos. Os dados foram organizados em quadros comparativos, com destaque para o aspecto metodológico, por meio das seguintes categorias de análise: temática, método, procedimento de coleta de dados e técnica de análise de dados; no intuito de verificar a forma como a SCC é utilizada: formação continuada e/ou método de pesquisa qualitativa. Depois dessa análise e da interpretação dos dados, concluímos que a SCC é uma alternativa viável para pesquisas das diversas áreas do conhecimento que abordam o processo de ensino-aprendizagem entre pares; sendo possível sua utilização tanto como formação continuada quanto como método de pesquisa qualitativa.

Abstract Digital Welfare State in Ecuador: Citizen Datafication and Machine Learning in the Construction and Management of Poverty In the era of digital governance, the increasing use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in social protection systems has emerged as a prominent concern. The state's efforts to promote citizen datafication and the implementation of AI for managing and providing social services and benefits are guided by principles of neutrality, objectivity, and technological efficiency. Nevertheless, these technologies can not only improve the effectiveness of social benefits allocation, but also have the potential of controlling, monitoring, sanctioning, and excluding beneficiaries. In light of the prevailing techno-optimism evident in the design of contemporary social policy, particularly with regard to its allocation mechanisms, this study draws upon insights from Science, Technology, and Society Studies to shed light on how data systems and AI technologies transform the notion of poverty and impact the definition of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. This approach focuses on unraveling the political dimension of data systems and AI technologies that are emerging as mediators in the relationship between the state and citizens. Through the case study of Ecuador's Social Registry, the aim is to enrich the critical examination of digital welfare states in the Latin American region, analyzing their implications for society and their potential to produce or exacerbate inequality and exclusion; challenging deterministic views of technological change and public policy design.

Resumen En la era de la gobernanza digital, la utilización creciente de datos y tecnologías de Big Data e Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en los sistemas de protección social se ha convertido en un asunto relevante. Los esfuerzos del Estado por impulsar la datificación ciudadana y la implementación de la IA para la gestión y provisión de servicios y beneficios sociales están vehiculizados por las ideas de neutralidad, objetividad y eficiencia tecnológica. No obstante, estas tecnologías no solo pueden mejorar la efectividad en la asignación de beneficios sociales; sino que también tienen el potencial de controlar, monitorear, sancionar y excluir a los beneficiarios. Ante el tecno-optimismo que marca el diseño de la política social contemporánea, específicamente sus mecanismos de asignación, este trabajo apuesta por los Estudios de la Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad para dar luz sobre cómo los sistemas de datos y las técnicas de IA transforman la noción de pobreza e impactan en la definición de beneficiarios y no beneficiarios. Este enfoque se centra en desentrañar la dimensión política -de la politics- de los sistemas de datos y las tecnologías de la IA que comienzan a mediar la relación entre el Estado y los ciudadanos. A través del estudio del caso ecuatoriano del Registro Social, el objetivo recae en nutrir el examen crítico de los Estados de Bienestar Digital en la región latinoamericana, analizando sus implicaciones en la sociedad y su potencial para producir o amplificar desigualdad y exclusión; desafiando las visiones deterministas del cambio tecnológico y del diseño de políticas públicas.
