Purpose: The present study analyzed how an organization justifies the launch of a technological resource for home-office, called the work capsule. Methodology: An instrumental case study was developed, which included the analysis of secondary data composed of videos, articles and documents. Main results: The analysis of the results showed that the focus of the materials related to the launch of the technological resource focused mainly on aspects that benefited the organization and its interests or on the benefits that technology represented for the worker, facing the challenges of remote work. Thus, two main categories emerged from the data analysis: When the home disturbs the office and control of the home(m) to guarantee the office. Practical contributions: a) Support the development of discussions and reflections on policies and legislation that impact the condition of workers in the face of the impetus of the neoliberal digital society. b) Unveil the behavior of a neoliberal organization that, in the face of the negative repercussion of the launch of technology, sought to camouflage its interests, but without dispelling its proposal, indicating a solution to a "new spirit of the home-office" Academic contributions: a) The constitution of a "new spirit of the home-office", which further blurs the nebulous boundaries between work and personal life, now reaching space and demanding new theoretical approaches. b) Advance in studies on technological affordances, pointing to the possibility of a new concept of "resources that monitor their own technological resources", characterizing technological surveillance resources, but of a second level.

In March 2020, face-to-face classes in Mexico were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From that moment on, virtuality was the means that allowed the continuation of teaching and learning activities in higher education. Today, almost a year and a half after the beginning of this scheme of work, the educational authorities are preparing for the return to face-to-face teaching. However, it is not yet known when the necessary conditions will exist for this to fully occur. This article addresses various possible scenarios in the post-confinement era, as well as the acceptance that these would have in the university student community. Its objectives were to characterize student perceptions of classes after COVID-19 lockdown and to compare them according to educational program, academic period, and employment status. The research design was quantitative cross-sectional, non-experimental, exploratory-descriptive in scope. A total of 1395 students from five university programs (Administration, International Trade, Public Accountant, Law, Information Technology) participated and answered an online questionnaire. They were asked about their willingness to continue taking online or hybrid classes in different scenarios, as well as about the continued use of collaborative tools and the need to promote technological and information security skills, given the digital nature of remote education. Data analysis was performed with the SPSS package. Descriptive values were obtained and nonparametric statistical tests of differences between groups were performed. The results show that students value positively the power to decide to take a subject online or face-to-face. In either mode of post-pandemic work, students would agree to continue using MSTEAMS. On the other hand, the recording of sessions was well valued, as well as the possibility of reducing the cost of enrollment if the education were hybrid or online. Also, students would be willing to take their theoretical courses online. It was found that law students are less in agreement about continuing to take their theoretical subjects online and administration students are more in agreement. Also, administration students were more in agreement to continue using MSTEAMS. On the other hand, students in the last semesters are more in agreement to continue with online classes and resources compared to students in the first semesters. In the analysis by employment status, no differences were found. This paper provides an overview of the acceptability of various hypothetical post-pandemic scenarios and allows reflection on the learnings obtained with online education in the COVID-19 times and how these could enhance academic activities after confinement.

Nowadays, education faces the challenge of teaching students to seek knowledge, developing mechanisms that favor learning and student autonomy. In this sense, it is understood that teaching strategies that promote metacognitive thinking can promote improvements in the teaching and learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how an activity guide script provided moments of manifestations of metacognitive thinking in engineering students. For this, a didactic proposal was developed in the classroom, where in groups, the students worked to solve the problem situations presented in the guide script, using experimental and technological resources. For data collection, audio and field diary recordings were made by the researchers, in addition to the metacognitive questionnaire applied at the end of the activity. The data analysis, based on the theoretical framework used to prepare the educational intervention, was carried out observing the following actions: the conduction of the activity, which included the way the activity was presented (guide script), the organization of the groups, the availability of resources, and the students' actions when facing the activity. In the results we can see that the group activity provided exchanges that contributed to metacognitive awareness; the materials provided allowed the students to observe and build upon the concepts explored; the stimuli presented throughout the activity by the teacher helped in the construction and evaluation of the strategies used by the groups. At the end of the activity, the students were able to identify which aspects facilitated or hindered the learning process, which are indicative of metacognitive awareness. It is noteworthy that there are still few studies that observe didactic proposals, which is an important field of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Faced with the pandemic that impacted teaching work throughout Brazil, we seek to value the voice of teachers responsible for continuing the educational process via remote teaching. Our focus is on language teachers from different teaching contexts who migrated to remote teaching in the first half of 2020. The objective of the research presented in this article was to investigate how language teachers assess the use of teaching materials and digital communication technology resources in remote classes during the social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the institutional and personal conduct involved at that time. The research included 130 Brazilian professors who answered a questionnaire in which they expressed their evaluations about the technological resources and materials used, as well as about the implementation and experience of remote teaching in their work institutions. In theoretical terms, we adopt Systemic-Functional Linguistics perspective aiming at a linguistic and social focus, and specifically we use the Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005; MARTIN; ROSE, 2007) to analyze the teachers' sayings. The linguistic analysis reveals attitudes of affect, demonstrating insecurity due to the uncertainty resulting from the moment and changes at work, judgment on the teachers' abilities, revealing a certain lack of preparation for the situation, and the appreciations of the precariousness of available resources and materials, in addition to feelings of tiredness, and anguish.

This study analyses the extent to which faculty use the technological resources that make up their Learning Ecologies to encourage their teacher professional development. The interest of this research is the growing impact of Learning Ecologies as a framework to examine the multiple learning opportunities provided by the complex digital landscape. Global data referred to the use of technological resources grouped in three dimensions (Access, Search and Information Management resources, Creation and Content Editing resources, and Interaction and Communication resources) has been identified. In addition, the influence of different variables such as gender, age, years of teaching experience and the branch of knowledge were also examined. The methodology used has been quantitative through a survey. The sample consisted of 1,652 faculty belonging to 50 Spanish universities. To meet the aim of the study, descriptive and inferential analysis (ANOVA) were carried out. On the one hand, it is noted a moderate use of technological resources for professional development and, on the other hand, significant differences are observed on all variables analysed. The results warn of the need to promote, both at individual and institutional level, more enriched Learning Ecologies, in such a way that each teacher can take better advantage of the learning opportunities, provided by the networked society.

The mathematical knowledge that guides the handling of symbolisms, equations, graphs, calculation, is not always understood by the student, in relation to its application to experiences and routines; From this premise, the aim of this article is to design a didactic strategy focused on the development of mathematical argumentative skills in sixth grade students in Colombia, through the use of Open Digital Educational Resources (ODER). The research design of a qualitative and quantitative nature transcends a descriptive level and is located in the analyticalpropositive, through an empirical-field approach, which includes a pretest-posttest quasi-experiment. The units of analysis are represented by students and teachers, who are selected in an intentional non-probabilistic sampling, to be treated by observation, survey, and quasi-experiment. In the results, the initial and final state of the mathematical argumentation is analyzed, recording the changes of one state with respect to another, once didactic processes mediated by the ODER have been incorporated. It is concluded that the application of strategies focused on open digital educational resources contributes to the development of logical-formal thinking, displaying in the student his argumentative competences.
