This study compares the quality of responses to eight matrix questions (36 variables) included in a survey administered on paper and by computer in two equivalent samples. Three criteria have considerated: 1) the average of non-response questions for each mode; 2) the repetition (or not) of the same response in different question items (differentiation); and, 3) the choice of extreme and middle response alternatives on the scale (easy responses). The paper questionnaires provided a greater number of non-response questions, with no change in non-response rates when taking into account scale range: 4, 5, 10 and 11 categories. The electronic questionnaire showed slightly greater differentiation and fewer extreme responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Predatory journals have been defined as a fraudulent model that takes advantage of the golden route implemented by some open access publications. These journals exploit the business of charging authors, promising quick and low-cost publication. However, they do not comply with the tasks of any scientific journal, such as peer review or digital preservation of original writings, and therefore they publish papers of questionable quality, methodology and reproducibility. For these reasons, this research aims to determine the level of knowledge that active researchers of the Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana (UTEM) have about predatory journals. For the study, a survey was used as a data collection instrument, which was sent to the active researchers from the UTEM. From the results obtained, it was possible to conclude that the UTEM researchers are familiar with the term predatory journals and can identify certain characteristics of these journals, such as the fact that they do not perform an adequate peer review process, offer a fast publication process at low cost, and have similar titles to those of renowned journals, in addition to being able to identify some tools for their detection.

The aim of this paper is to describe academic self-efficacy in students of technical-professional training at a university in the south of Chile. Numerous studies have established that, in order to have autonomous and self-regulated students, it is necessary for them to be academically self-efficient and the literature shows that the teacher with a self-efficient teaching identity promotes this type of competences in the students. The research is ascribed within the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative research approach that seeks objectivity, describing, explaining, proving and/or predicting phenomena, using data collection with the purpose of testing hypotheses through statistical analysis. The design is non-experimental, since it is carried out without manipulating the variables and the situations are not intentionally provoked. Additionally, it is of a cross-sectional nature, since the data are collected at a single moment of the research, to analyze the relationship at a given time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is an exploratory review about teaching practices at Argentinean public universities published between 2010 and 2019. The sample was constituted by 20 papers. The methodology was qualitative based on content analysis in three axes: work methodology, teaching practices description and characterization of the public university. The results showed a predominance of qualitative methodology, in particular of narrative approach. The aim of studies was teaching practices themselves in most of the papers, followed by directly related issues and, finally, in a few papers teaching practices were part of the aim of the study. Almost all of the papers collected data on public universities, but only a small number included the analysis of the university context in their studies. The results are discussed based on the particularities of university education in the local context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The tradition of dimensional models in the study of emotions suggests that affective space is better defined by a small number of non-specific general dimensions. This dimensional perspective in the study of emotions postulates that the minimal entities of representation are dimensions such as valence (attraction vs. rejection) and arousal (level of activation). Data collection in this perspective is done through the laborious process of resorting to the estimates of hundreds of people who must decide on a continuum of two dimensions: how positive or negative the object to which the concept alludes is, and what level of arousal it generates. To do so, generally, an image-based questionnaire developed to measure an emotional response is used, called SAM (Self Assessment Manikin), which is a set of synthesized drawings that can be used to guide the participants' response. As can be noted, the volume and quality of the procedures used to study these affective variables associated with concepts involves an arduous process of data collection and processing. The complexity of this work, due to the enormous amount and type of data, makes computational intelligence a very useful and novel tool for its approach in order to obtain reliable and reproducible results. Processing by means of distributional semantics obtains the meaning of a word by locating the context in which it appears through an intelligent search in large volumes of electronically stored data. Lexical-affective information, represented by the valence and activation dimensions, is a type of information that seems to be represented by the social use of a term and, therefore, it is plausible to infer it by studying the contexts in which the term appears. In this paper we consider the plausibility of the application of the method of estimating lexical-affective values by means of distributional semantics for the Spanish language. In order to achieve this objective, the Spanish adaptation of the ANEW is used for this purpose and, two procedures were carried out. On the one hand, the most traditionally used computational method of estimation by means of linear regressions was compared with a model based on neural networks, which showed the better fit of the latter. On the other hand, lexical-affective values were estimated for a set of complex emotions and, in order to verify the strength of the results, such estimation was compared with empirical data taken and processed in a linguistic community (Argentine), different from the community that gave rise to the data with which the computational model was trained (Spanish). The results have been very encouraging since, between the computationally derived estimates and the empirically derived data with the Argentine population, correlations were found to be sufficiently strong and comparable to those that can be found when the same comparison is made between empirically derived results with different age groups, or between different genders, or when comparing different geographical regions. These results point to a striking common base of the language, a basic common core of concepts, which can be explored by means of the procedures and techniques of distributional semantics.

The difficulty of spatial orientation in cities and built environments affects different profiles of people and different ways people search for information to orient themselves. The design of wayfinding systems is the main help in this orientation, so this paper aims to present the development of a wayfinding system, by undergraduate students, for a university hospital, using the Wayfinding Information Behavior method. First, concepts and descriptions of spatial cognition, information behavior, and wayfinding system design are presented. The configuration and application of the data collection method is then described, followed by a brief description of the design steps used by the students. The alternatives obtained are then presented and the main points resulting from the use of the method are discussed. With the results obtained, it is possible to note the potential of the method as a relevant data collection tool for projects of this type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows the mathematical connections that university students make when solving tasks involving first-order Ordinary Differential Equations. We consider mathematical connections as a process by which a person relates one or more ideas, concepts, representations, theorems, or meanings to each other, to those in other disciplines or to real-life situations. For data collection, task-based interviews were used, which were analyzed with the Thematic Analysis method. The results indicate the use of seven types of mathematical connections: different representations, procedural, meaning, characteristic, part-whole, implication and reversibility. However, it was observed that a high academic performance is not an indicator that the connections emerge adequately in the resolution of tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tourism is a social activity and as such generates impacts. In some cases it can be an ally for the preservation of culture, but in other cases it can cause important changes in the culture of the people, especially when it is carried out in an unplanned manner. This paper describes the changes in the cultural expressions of the Pampa Michi Native Community that were exposed to tourism between 1998 and 2019. The study is conducted from a qualitative approach and narrative design; for this purpose, semi-structured interviews and life histories were used as instruments for data collection. According to the results, the cultural expressions of the community have changed and now show new dances such as the pandilla or anaconda, as well as new designs and colors in their typical clothing, and new products and materials in their handicrafts. In conclusion, the cultural expressions of the community that were exposed to the tourist activity changed since the beginning of tourism in the locality in 1998, until 2019, the year of the beginning of the pandemic.
