The utilisation of online platform Blackboard Learn for Teaching and Learning (T & L) has become an essential and obligatory component of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This study research aims to examine the difficulties and potential of its implementation at a Historically Disadvantaged Institution (HDI) like University of Limpopo (UL), with a focus on the Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme in Criminology and Psychology (Crim & Psych) as guided by University of Limpopo Faculty of Humanities Multimodal Teaching and Learning Plan (UL FHMTLP). This qualitative study employed an empirical research design, selecting Twelve (12) permanent Academics/Lecturers from the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UL for interview purposes. The verbatim responses from the interviews were analysed to identify the key themes and sub-themes of the study using the inductive Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) method. This study revealed that there is a lack of utilisation of Blackboard Learn at UL, as well as ineffective adaptation of current strategies and UL FHMTLP implementations. Many Lecturers still depend on contact T & L and the use of Blackboard Learn to connect the operations of this programme is currently unsuccessful. Recommendations consist of regular training and refreshment courses on the application of this technology, such as the Learning Management System (LMS) provided by the Information and Communications Technology [ICT]-electronic-(e)-Learning Unit. This could potentially facilitate collaborations between Natural Sciences (Technology - Blackboard Learn) and Human Sciences (Crim & Psych) to generate new knowledge, while also clearly providing the advantages of technology utilisation for T & L at UL. This kind of innovation could accommodate "economical, educational, technical, and social transformations" to address the mentioned challenges and opportunities, while making contributions to the field of professorship, with a focus on the South African Future Professors Programme (FPP) Phase 2 Cohort 1 2022-2023, utilising Blackboard Learn for T & L in a HDI to outline the existing challenges and possibilities.

O debate acadêmico sobre internacionalização do ensino superior, acumulado nas últimas três décadas, discorre sobre estratégias de políticas científicas de universidades e governos no intuito de galgarem melhores posições em rankings universitários. No Brasil, a internacionalização está bastante vinculada à Avaliação dos Programas de Pós-graduação (CAPES), sendo um dos principais indicadores, meta fundamental para o desenvolvimento científico e excelência do ensino superior do país. Esta pesquisa realiza uma análise cientométrica da produção do conhecimento sobre o tema a partir de 251 teses e dissertações, defendidas entre 2013-2022, com o objetivo de responder: a) quais os temas predominantes nessas produções e como eles dialogam entre si? b) Como essa produção se comporta em suas dimensões geográfica, institucional e de campo de conhecimento? Como resultados, constatamos que a produção se destaca nas áreas de Educação e Administração, com concentração na região sul. Tematicamente, é significativa a ênfase na avaliação da ciência e dos programas de pós-graduação, a dimensão estudantil em programas de mobilidade internacional, além de aspectos relativos ao ensino. A análise de rede bimodal (áreas e palavras) nos permite indicar a evidência de pelo menos quatro agendas de pesquisa: (i) Políticas educacionais e de ensino, com ênfase para a pós-graduação, (ii) Gestão e planejamento do ensino e das IES, (iii) Língua estrangeira e colonialidade, e (iv) Políticas governamentais, regulação e produção acadêmica.

The academic debate about internationalization of higher education, which has accumulated over the last three decades, discusses the scientific policy strategies of universities and governments in order to achieve better positions in university rankings. In Brazil, internationalization is linked to the Evaluation of Postgraduate Programmes (CAPES), which is one of the main indicators, and is a fundamental goal for scientific development and excellence in higher education in the country. This research conducts a scientometric analysis of the production of knowledge on the subject from 251 theses and dissertations defended between 2013-2022, with the aim of answering: a) what are the predominant themes in these productions and how do they dialogue with each other? b) How does this production behave in its geographical, institutional and field of knowledge dimensions? We found that the production stands out in the areas of Education and Administration, with a concentration in the southern region. Thematically, there is a significant emphasis on the evaluation of science and postgraduate programs, the student dimension in international mobility programs, and aspects related to teaching. In addition, the bimodal network analysis (areas and words) allows us to point to evidence of at least four research agendas: (i) Educational and teaching policies, with an emphasis on postgraduate level, (ii) Management and planning of teaching and HEIs, (iii) Foreign language and coloniality, and (iv) Government policies, regulation and academic production.

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.

Se incluye la elaboración de productos de innovación social resultantes de los aportes teóricos, metodológicos, didácticos y prácticos sobre los estudios históricos regionales y locales producidos por el departamento de Historia de la Universidad de Cienfuegos que favorecen la gestión en el desarrollo sostenible de las localidades y comunidades de la región central de Cuba.

RESUMEN El desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones han propiciado cambios en el ámbito educativo con la creación de nuevos espacios formativos y contenidos digitales. En este contexto se impone la necesidad de desarrollar habilidades digitales en los docentes específicamente en el diseño y uso de los objetos de aprendizaje en función del perfeccionamiento de los métodos pedagógicos en el proceso de enseñanza. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo proponer un modelo de gestión de aprendizaje en función del proceso de formación de los docentes de la Universidad de Pinar del Río Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca. En la investigación fueron utilizados métodos teóricos, empíricos y como método rector el materialista -dialectico. Los resultados permitieron describir escenarios donde se identifican las principales limitaciones de los profesores en el desarrollo de sus habilidades digitales para la gestión de los objetos de aprendizaje para el proceso de formación. El modelo que se presenta es sistémico, participativo pues la construcción de un OA puede realizarse de forma colectiva y tiene en cuenta aspectos como creación, conservación y transferencia a partir de herramientas que posibilitan el uso y reutilización de estos recursos propiciando a su vez la integración en el proceso docente.

ABSTRACT The development of information and communications technologies has led to changes in the educational field with the creation of new training spaces and digital content. In this context, the need to develop digital skills in teachers is imposed, specifically in the design and use of learning objects based on the improvement of pedagogical methods in the teaching process. The objective of this article is to propose a learning management model based on the teacher training process from the University of Pinar del Río Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca. Theoretical and empirical methods were used in the research, and the materialist-dialectical method was used as the guiding method. The results allowed us to describe scenarios where the main limitations of teachers in the development of their digital skills for the management of learning objects for the training process are identified. The model presented is systemic, participatory since the construction of an LO can be carried out collectively and takes into account aspects such as creation, conservation and transfer from tools that enable the use and reuse of these resources, in turn promoting integration. in the teaching process.

RESUMEN En la contemporaneidad globalizada diversas problemáticas inciden y repercuten en la vida del hombre como ente social. De ahí que, las universidades proyecten procesos formativos conforme a los desafíos y demandas educativas de la Agenda 2030. Cuba, inmersa en trasformaciones de su modelo económico, político y social, redimensiona la preparación para el empleo en la Educación Superior, desde la formación continua, en función de lograr egresados dotados de conocimientos, habilidades, destrezas, valores y competencias socio-profesionales para insertarse en el mercado laboral. En ese contexto, el artículo presenta un modelo de gestión formativa en la preparación para el empleo en el Ingeniero Informático en la Universidad de Oriente, constructo articulador en la concreción de las competencias socio-profesionales. El constructo teórico-práctico que expresa el vínculo universidad-empresa, emerge de los resultados de la formación doctoral. En tal sentido, se asumen métodos que permiten relacionar los aspectos teóricos que sustentan el modelo propuesto en interrelación con las categorías, a partir del análisis-síntesis, la revisión documental de investigaciones que se asumen y comparten, los que avalan la propuesta en su significación, importancia, actualidad e impacto.

ABSTRACT In today's globalized world, various problems affect and have repercussions on the life of man as a social entity. Hence, universities project training processes in accordance with the educational challenges and demands of the 2030 Agenda. Cuba, immersed in transformations of its economic, political and social model, resizes preparation for employment in Higher Education, from continuous training, in order to achieve graduates equipped with knowledge, skills, values and socio-professional competencies to enter the labor market. In this context, the article presents a training management model in preparation for employment in the Computer Engineer at the University of Oriente, an articulating construct in the realization of socio-professional competencies. The theoretical-practical construct that expresses the university-company link emerges from the results of doctoral training. In this sense, methods are assumed that allow relating the theoretical aspects that support the proposed model in interrelation with the categories, based on the analysis-synthesis, the documentary review of research that is assumed and shared, which endorse the proposal in its significance, importance, topicality and impact.

High dropout rates and a lack of academic resilience continue to plague South African higher education. Often, this is more prevalent in practical disciplines that have been subjected to curriculum changes in recent years, such as engineering. It is challenging to understand academic resilience in university settings due to insufficient research. Therefore, more information is needed on the role of personal characteristics and the socio-ecological university environment in enabling and constraining students' academic resilience. To assist higher education institutions in theorising academic resilience, this article presents a novel conceptual framework of Ungar's social-ecological theory, and Ebersöhn's Flocking theory. As part of this theorisation, this article also provides diverse perspectives on academic resilience from engineering students, lecturers, and support staff through semi-structured interviews. An analysis of this qualitative data was conducted using thematic analysis. A major finding of the study was that enabling factors were principally personal, whereas constraining factors were principally socio-ecological. Findings led to the development of an original framework for conceptualising the enablers and constraints of academic resilience in engineering students. This conceptual framework could guide towards the identification of areas of priority for academic resilience and in doing so contribute to interventions to reduce student dropout.

Resumen El modelo propuesto tiene como meta fusionar el aprendizaje que ocurre en el entorno físico o presencial con el entorno virtual, logrando una integración armoniosa entre los sistemas de gestión de aprendizaje y las redes sociales. Mediante esta integración se persigue impulsar un enfoque de aprendizaje que fomente la colaboración, la comunicación y la interacción en el ámbito de la educación superior. Esta innovadora propuesta, desde la perspectiva del aprendizaje mixto, logra amalgamar la formalidad característica de los sistemas de gestión de aprendizaje con la espontaneidad inherente a las redes sociales. Esta sinergia permite aprovechar las virtudes distintivas de cada plataforma, con el propósito fundamental de agilizar la interacción y el intercambio de información entre docentes y estudiantes. Como resultado se busca enriquecer significativamente la vivencia de aprendizaje, mejorando así la calidad y efectividad del proceso educativo.

Abstract The proposed model aims to merge learning that occurs in the physical or face-to-face environment with the virtual environment, achieving a harmonious integration between learning management systems and social networks. Through this integration, the aim is to promote a learning approach that fosters collaboration, communication, and interaction in the higher education environment. This innovative proposal, from the perspective of blended learning, manages to amalgamate the formality characteristic of learning management systems with the spontaneity inherent in social networks. This synergy makes it possible to take advantage of the distinctive virtues of each platform, with the fundamental purpose of streamlining the interaction and exchange of information between teachers and students. As a result, the learning experience is significantly enriched, thus improving the quality and effectiveness of the educational process.

Abstract In this article, we present a case study whose objective was to analyze the regional management of state higher education institutions by conducting a theoretical review of innovation systems approaches. We carried out a qualitative interpretive study and qualitative data analysis, with a case study design. The information collection techniques used were diverse: documentary analysis and interviews. The results indicate that regional management in state higher education institutions has evolved since their inception, following the governance guidelines established by the educational institutions for their development and regional innovation systems. However, the results show regional challenges in terms of financial sustainability, branch management, academic offerings, inter-university articulation, and governance. At the regional level, there are a series of actors in Costa Rica who participate in the dynamics of regional governance, among them are state universities playing a fundamental role as promoters of social, economic, and environmental development in localities. We face significant challenges in the realm of territorial planning and governance, which include coordination between multiple levels of planning and diverse actors, as well as the alignment of various territorial development strategies. These intricately related elements require meticulous management to ensure cohesive and sustainable regional development. Academic interest in regional innovation systems has been on the rise, particularly concerning the generation and diffusion of knowledge. Within this field, the concepts of proximity and concentration become especially relevant, enhancing regional approaches. Formulating effective policies to drive regional innovation is crucial not only to understand the innovation and learning capacity of companies but also the performance of the sectoral innovation system.

Abstract The article presents an analysis of the Incorporation of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in the curricula of the teaching of Social Studies (ES) in Costa Rica and its treatment in a series of textbooks for secondary school during the period 1991-2016. The objective of the research was to analyze the evolution of the topic, to recognize its didactic and curricular changes during the study period. This article arises from a research project that was developed at the National University of Costa Rica during the period 2017-2020 and which took as its central axes DRM in Costa Rica, public policies in relation to the subject and the development of materials. for teaching. Methodologically, the proposal is qualitative and was based on documentary research for the collection and analysis of data. It is an exploratory study, since there is no other similar research in the field of ES. The units of analysis are made up of two groups of information that are the basis for collecting information. The first are the ES programs between 1991-2016 that included the topic of DRM and the second are the textbooks of both disciplines that included information regarding the research problem. The information comes from the study plans of the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) developed for the study period and from different libraries where the textbooks proposed by various publishers were located. As a result, it was obtained that DRM had political will for its incorporation into the educational system, but the curricular proposals were monotonous and with little innovation. The same results were obtained from the analysis of textbooks, where the activities showed little didactic effort on the part of the publishing houses. Being an exploratory study, it opens the possibility that other proposals can be proposed with different approaches from research in ES.

Resumen El artículo presenta un análisis sobre la incorporación de la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (GRD) en las mallas curriculares de la enseñanza de los Estudios Sociales (ES) en Costa Rica y su tratamiento en una serie de libros de texto para secundaria durante el período 1991-2016. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la evolución del tema para reconocer sus cambios didácticos y curriculares durante el período de estudio. Este artículo se desprende de un proyecto de investigación que se desarrolló en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica durante el período 2017-2020 y que tomó como ejes centrales la GRD en Costa Rica, las políticas públicas en relación con la temática y la elaboración de materiales para la docencia. Metodológicamente, el trabajo es de corte cualitativo y se basó en la investigación documental para la recolección y análisis de los datos. Es un estudio de corte exploratorio, pues no se cuenta con otra investigación similar en el campo de los ES. Se presentan dos unidades de análisis que fueron la base para la recolección de la información. La primera corresponde a los programas de ES comprendidos entre 1991-2016 que incluyeron el tema de las GRD, y la segunda, los libros de texto de ambas disciplinas que incluyeron información referente al problema de investigación. La información proviene de los planes de estudio del Ministerio de Educación Pública (MEP) desarrollados para el período de estudio y de diferentes bibliotecas donde se logró ubicar los libros de texto. Como resultado se obtuvo que la GRD contó con voluntad política para su incorporación en el sistema educativo, pero las propuestas curriculares fueron monótonas y con poca innovación. Los mismos resultados se obtuvieron del análisis de libros de texto, pues las actividades mostraron poco empeño didáctico por parte de las casas editoriales. Al ser un estudio exploratorio abre la posibilidad para plantear otras iniciativas con diferentes enfoques desde la investigación en ES.

Abstract Several studies have reported a link between emotional competencies and academic achievement in higher education, and about the need to implement strategies for young university students to face educational demands. Along this line, the aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of emotional regulation that affect the academic performance of a group of university students, with the purpose of designing a psychoeducational proposal aimed at strengthening the emotional self-management of this population. For this, a diagnostic phase was carried out in which 80 university students participated, 33.8 % male and 66.2 % female, aged between 18 and 25 years (M = 21.09; SD = 1.92), to whom the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) instrument and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE) Learning Assessment Scale were applied. The results showed the presence of difficulties in goal-orientation behaviors, as well as a significant association between academic performance and lack of emotional acceptance and clarity. With these findings, the Logical Framework methodology was used to design a proposal of seven workshops to promote the development of competencies related to emotional recognition and management, stress and anxiety management, decision making and conflict management, intrinsic motivation and self-knowledge, time management and administration.

Resumen Varios estudios han reportado una asociación entre competencias emocionales y logros académicos en educación superior, y sobre la importancia de implementar estrategias para que los jóvenes afronten las demandas educativas. En esta línea, el objetivo del presente estudio consistió en explorar las características de la competencia de regulación emocional que inciden en el rendimiento académico de un grupo de jóvenes universitarios, con la finalidad de diseñar una propuesta psicoeducativa orientada a fortalecer la autogestión emocional de esta población. Para ello, se realizó una fase diagnóstica en la que participaron ochenta estudiantes universitarios, 33,8 % de sexo masculino y 66,2 % de sexo femenino, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 25 años (M = 21,09; DE = 1,92), a quienes se les aplicó el instrumento Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) y la Escala de Valoración de Aprendizajes de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE). Los resultados mostraron la presencia de dificultades en conductas dirigidas a metas, así como una asociación significativa entre rendimiento académico y falta de aceptación y de claridad emocional. Con estos hallazgos, se empleó la metodología del Marco Lógico para diseñar una propuesta de siete talleres para fomentar el desarrollo de competencias relacionadas con reconocimiento y gestión de emociones, manejo de estrés y ansiedad, toma decisiones y manejo de conflictos, motivación intrínseca y autoconocimiento, gestión y administración del tiempo.

En resumen, este estudio destaca la importancia de asignar valores adecuados en la autoevaluación de posgrados y promueve la participación de múltiples actores en este proceso. Por lo tanto, este documento sirve como guía para nuevos procesos de asignación de valores en este tipo de acreditaciones.

Abstract: This manuscript addresses value assignment in the self-evaluation of postgraduate programs, specifically in the Master’s Degree in Integrative Health and Human Movement (MSIMH) of the National University of Costa Rica, based on the national accreditation guidelines. It emphasizes the importance of carrying out this work in a systematic, organized, and clear manner to objectively analyze the aspects that guarantee the quality of the program. Different actors participated in the self-evaluation process, including managers, administrators, teachers, students, and tutors. The results showed that the dimensions “Resources” and “Educational Process” are fundamental, and that special attention should be given to the components “Infrastructure”, “Research” and “Academic Staff”. Although components such as curriculum and teaching and learning methodology are relevant, it also highlights the importance of academic and financial management for the development and sustainability of the program. It is recommended that future research should contrast the results of the weighting with the results of the MSIMH self-evaluation to identify strengths and areas for improvement in relation to the established weighted values. In short, this study highlights the importance of assigning appropriate values in the self-evaluation of postgraduate programs and encourages the participation of multiple stakeholders in this process. This document can be used as a guide for new processes of value assignment for this type of accreditation.

RESUMEN El artículo aborda la incidencia de la plataformización social en universidades públicas de Córdoba, Argentina, posterior al período de excepcionalidad pedagógica que tuvo lugar entre 2020 y 2022. Comprendemos que la pandemia de COVID-19 precipitó una serie de tendencias preexistentes y puso en escena la necesidad de diseñar modalidades de enseñanza-aprendizaje que desafían las divisiones clásicas entre la educación presencial y a distancia. En tal sentido, se reconstruye el proceso desarrollado en las últimas décadas y se hace foco en los avances de la plataformización y los procesos de transformación de las prácticas socioeducativas. Para ilustrar dicho proceso se analizan algunas políticas llevadas adelante en instituciones del nivel superior de la provincia de Córdoba y la sistematización de experiencias docentes y en el área de gestión educativa.

ABSTRACT The article addresses the incidence of social platformization in public universities in Córdoba, Argentina, after the period of pedagogical exceptionality that took place between 2020 and 2022. We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a series of pre-existing trends and brought to light the need to design teaching-learning modalities that challenge the classic divisions between face-to-face and distance education. In this sense, the process developed in recent decades is reconstructed and the focus is placed on the advances of platformization and the processes of transformation of socio-educational practices. To illustrate this process, some policies carried out in higher level institutions in the province of Córdoba and the systematization of teaching experiences and in the area of educational management are analyzed.

RESUMO O artigo aborda a incidência da plataformização social nas universidades públicas de Córdoba, Argentina, após o período de excepcionalidade pedagógica ocorrido entre 2020 e 2022. Entendemos que a pandemia da COVID-19 precipitou uma série de tendências pré-existentes e trouxe à luz a necessidade de desenhar modalidades de ensino-aprendizagem que desafiem as divisões clássicas entre educação presencial e a distância. Nesse sentido, reconstrói-se o processo desenvolvido nas últimas décadas e o foco é colocado nos avanços da plataformização e nos processos de transformação das práticas socioeducativas. Para ilustrar este processo, são analisadas algumas políticas realizadas em instituições de nível superior na província de Córdoba e a sistematização de experiências docentes e na área de gestão educacional.
