Explicit language learning strategy-based instruction has emerged as an advantage in teaching languages. Several studies have addressed this topic in Chile, focusing on the type of strategies used in university contexts. Thus, it is necessary to guide such inquiries to school levels. For this reason, the present investigation aims to study the impact that explicit instruction of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies has on a group of Chilean high school students' reading skills in L2. To achieve this, the study comprised two experimental groups and one control group. In the view of the results, it follows that cognitive strategies were more effective, and the explicit instruction of learning strategies constitutes a tool that favors the process of reading in L2.

The development of interdisciplinary projects in basic elementary education constitutes a decisive factor in the comprehensive training of students, in the face of a challenging world that poses complex problems that cannot be addressed from the knowledge of an isolated discipline, but requires the exercise of interdisciplinary practices. The objective of this study was to propose methodological strategies focused on the design, planning and evaluation of interdisciplinary projects in basic elementary education. The sample consisted of 5 teachers and their groups of second-year basic students from an urban school in the city of Milagro. Research methods and techniques were used that included interviews with teachers, surveys of students, review of school documents, curricula, methodological guides, as well as the validation of the proposal by a panel of experts in interdisciplinary projects, active teaching-learning methodologies and Collaborative learning. The results revealed the existence of significant challenges in the design and execution of interdisciplinary projects in basic elementary education, including the difficulty in achieving authentic integration of areas in the conception of such projects. The methodological strategies incorporated principles of constructivism, active methodologies, collaborative learning and development of cognitive skills. The expert evaluation highlighted the relevance of the proposal and the suitability of the methodological guidelines. This study sheds light on the importance of offering methodological guidelines to teachers for the design and implementation of interdisciplinary projects in basic elementary education and offers a comprehensive strategy supported by theoretical categories such as constructivism, complex thinking and active methodologies, to improve the implementation of interdisciplinary projects at the basic elementary sublevel.

The general goal of this work is to carry out a systematic review of the specialized literature on the evaluation and promotion of self-regulated learning (SAR), as well as the relationship between self-regulation and school learning (SRL) in students of educational programs supported by ICT. Following this research methodology, specifically the systematic review, we carried out the five steps according to Khan, Kunz, Kleijnen and Antiguo (2003): 1) Identification of the research questions; 2) Identification of relevant studies; 3) Selection of studies; 4) Comparison of data, and 5) Summary and report of results. The main actions include: search for articles in different databases, analytical readings of summaries and full texts, and comparison with the inclusion criteria to evaluate the quality of the studies. The total number of articles selected was 11. The main categories of analysis are: Self- regulated learning processes, Learning evaluation, Instruments used and Techniques to promote or support self-regulated learning. In general, it is concluded that self-regulation has a significant impact, ranging from moderate to excellent, on learning in ICT-mediated educational programs. The relationship is complex and depends on the characteristics of the student, the task, and the context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although scholars have proposed many types of self-assessment methods. There are still many teachers in China who consider that student self-assessment is “difficult to implement”. This paper aims to optimize the assessment of MOOC learning, and to establish an integrated student self-assessment paradigm with “student-centered, teacher, and peer auxiliary”. We started by selecting nine key factors that influence the implementation of self-assessment in MOOCs. Then, we clarified the relationship between the nine factors by using the interpretative structure model (ISM) and the MICMAC analysis, and a six-level paradigm of integrated student self-assessment was established. Moreover, we put forward the following suggestions to optimize student self-assessment in MOOC learning. First, it’s necessary to consider student self-assessment in MOOCs as a formative assessment method. Second, universities should enhance student awareness of self-assessment through publicity. Third, institutions of higher education could set up assessment courses to enhance the quality of assessment of students. Fourth, schools should optimize the environment of student self-assessment with the help of technology. This study is of great significance for students to make self-assessment become the basis of online learning and thus perfect the research on MOOC learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The document presents a pedagogical experience based on gamification in creating a favorable environment for the learning of undergraduate students. The main objective is to devise a strategy grounded on game theory that promotes participation, motivation, and fun in teaching and learning cognitive skills in higher education. The research aimed at Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia students uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyze a sample of 290 students in the fifth and sixth semesters of the BA in Basic Primary Education. The results show a significant level of motivation in the educational setting and become an innovative reference for an educational strategy whose fundamental structure is based on gamification to develop pedagogical potential. The future graduate will acquire disciplinary skills from their training and axiological and procedural competencies to foster teaching and learning processes and break traditionality in the classroom. In addition, the use of technology as a mediator for developing an innovative educational model in higher education is proven. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International tests of massive application allow evaluating how individual, institutional, national, and family factors contribute to students’ educational achievement through their performance. Consequently, education evaluation is based on the paradigm of general and specific competencies for life. One of these general competencies is the capacity to solve mathematical problems and apply logical thinking to problem-solving. In order to evaluate this general competence, standardized tests have been developed. Among these tests, the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE) in 2013 evaluated the mathematical and other areas’ academic performance of children in the third and sixth grade. The TERCE Mathematics evaluation allows researchers to capture the students’ academic performance in five domains: numeric, geometric, measurement, statistics, and variation, as well as their cognitive performance in objects and elements recognition and simple and complex problem-solving. In addition, to evaluate these eight dimensions, the TERCE test also asks for information regarding academic context, family environment, and teachers, among others. Despite this information, in Colombia and in general, the evaluation of the socioeconomic context over academic performance has been studied mainly considering the schools’ characteristics, families’ economic levels, and public expenses. Therefore, there is little evidence of the effects of psycho-pedagogical and psychological factors on academic performance. Psycho-pedagogical models emphasize the dependence of the superior processes on perceptual and attentional processes and the need for activities that demand deep processing and active involvement with information before, during, and after classes. Thus, attending simultaneously to different elements affects the development of cognitive control functions, which leads to low academic achievement and performance. Frequently, students face academic activities in different scenarios where the attentional system should divide its resources between several stimulus sources. Activities in which the attentional system focuses are “essential processing”, and those not related to the main academic activity are called “incidental processing”. Consequently, increasing the sources of incidental processing would decrease the attentional resources devoted to the essential processing of educational activities producing low academic performance. In this context, the study proposes and evaluates an effects model focused on essential and incidental cognitive processing of academic activities. The information was captured on the mathematics performance of sixth-grade students from 15 countries (and the state of Nuevo León de México) participating in the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE). A Structural Equations model was formulated using indices of Essential Processing (Attentional Control, Working Memory, and Family Supervision) and Incidental Processing (Perceived Violence, Leisure use of the computer, and incidental processing) based on the items or questions used in the TERCE. The indices were designed based on the Item Response Theory (IRT) model. Findings show that the proposed model affects the performance in the test by 24 points. Higher scores in essential processing produce higher scores in the mathematics component of the TERCE test. Family supervision of academic activity is the single element with the highest impact on academic performance (3.020); on the other hand, attentional control (7.48) and working memory (4.295) also impact academic performance positively. Regarding the incidental processing variables, lower levels of perceived violence (1.680), less noise and distractor in class (2.130), and higher use of computers at home for leisure activities (5.851) have the most significant impacts on academic performance. The results are discussed considering the cognitive hypotheses on the distribution of attention resources and the training hypothesis to understand information technologies’ role in the academic processes. Suggestions for further research focus on the inclusion of items with a higher theoretical background that allows researchers to evaluate the impact of essential and incidental processing on academic performance using items specially designed with that goal to get more conclusive and robust results.

A self-regulated student is guided by task-oriented strategies, seeks to achieve his personal goals, and monitors his or her behavior in terms of his goals. This paper presents the results of a quantitative study whose purpose was to describe the components of self-regulated learning used by students in their online learning processes and to determine if there are significant differences in the way that these components are used. In this investigation, a questionnaire was applied to 306 students of online courses, and the data obtained were processed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA of one factor of repeated measures. The results showed that most of the factors and strategies of self-regulates learning are used in an acceptable way; in addition, significant differenceswere found of the motivational component and in the strategies of the behavioral and contextual component. The findings of the study provide instructional designers with information on the aspects that can be emphasizes to motivate students, which would contribute to the development of different types of skills and methods to self-regulate their learning, training that will allow them to advance more successfully through their education, regardless of the modality in which they work.

The relationship between digital games and the mobilization of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies deserves attention and needs research that contributes to the understanding of how these strategies can favor the teaching and learning processes. This study describes how university students over 18 years of age mobilize cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies through digital games. The research methodology used was ex post facto with a quantitative approach. 941 students from 22 States and from the Federal District, enrolled in higher education courses at Brazilian colleges and universities, participated in this research. Data collection occurred through the application of an online questionnaire that integrates the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) and the Inventory of Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategies with Digital Games (ICMSDG). The results indicated that university students make regular use of metacognitive knowledge, skills, and strategies. Moreover, cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies seem to be more mobilized by digital game players than by nonplayers, particularly among those who played over a longer period of time (9 years or more) and with higher intensity (playing every day). With the results found and analyzed, we observe that this study is relevant for both university professors and game designers who aim to promote metacognition skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two refined genetic decompositions (DGs) are proposed, as a result of the application of the APOS Research Cycle, which describe mental structures and mechanisms for the concept of value and eigenvector in two case studies. The first DG0 models the prior knowledge that high school students (14 - 16 years old) must achieve in R2 order to build this concept in the university --this model is based on vector rotation and the concept of scalar multiple--. The second DG1 models in R2 the construction of eigenvalue and eigenvector in firstyear university students and shows how to rely on secondary education to structure that concept from relationships between the linear transformation and the scalar multiple vector as a generator of a line. The data analysis allows to validate the DG's and outline a cognitive path for learning the concept of eigenvalue and eigenvector in R2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research analyzes reading skills as learning higher cognitive operations. In this sense, it presents the advantages of pedagogies based on the strengthening of reading skills as a social event. Promotes critical reading that is done together with others, exercises superior cognitive skills, by allowing complex thinking; the expansion of vocabulary, the establishment of strategies that allow solving shared emergencies. Well, it educates in the analysis and discussion of ideas as coordination of best practices. To achieve the objectives, a case study is carried out in a secondary school in Peru. In turn, a procedural body is presented that seeks to optimize the communicative capacity of the educated. Therefore, it is carried out from the experiential approach that uses inferences to coordinate the final recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work outlines the importance of question-based learning as a cognitive strategy to promote children's thinking activity, in a complementary sense to everyday learning mediated by experience and by action and repetition. Therefore, it is necessary to consider education as a complex system in which the pedagogical work is oriented to the integral vision of the human being. This shows the experience in the implementation of the philosophy for children (FpN) methodology with fourth grade students of a public educational institution in Arauca, Caldas (Colombia). The interpretation of the data was carried out from a phenomenological-hermeneutical design that provided resources to identify the pedagogical benefits of the question regarding the attitude of the students, the argumentative capacity and the cognitive stimulation.

Faced with the challenges imposed by the knowledge society, universities are committed to perfecting their work, both in the role that corresponds to teachers and students, which necessarily affects the quality of the training process for future professionals. The teaching-learning process is a process of direction of cognitive activity, expressed in learning, stimulated through the use of various resources that enhance the formation of stable reasons for its realization. In this case, an assessment of its essence is made, when considering the logic of its execution, the dynamics and the requirements for the stimulation of learning, based on the analysis of the work of different authors as a review and the use of theoretical methods, in order to contribute essential ideas that aim to contribute to the teaching and research preparation of teachers.

A humanistic education implies not only the learning of the disciplinary or cognitive contents. It is very important that future teachers develop their emotional intelligence through skills that allow them to know, accept and regulate their emotions to achieve states of subjective wellbeing and establish constructive relationships with others. This article offers a descriptive, nonexperimental, quantitative study with the intention to examine how Emotional Intelligence skills are linked to the mood of 399 preservice teachers from Guanajuato, Puebla, and Mexico City. We used two instruments: the TMM24 that measures Emotional Intelligence traits and the Positive and Negative Activation Scale (PANAS). Among the main findings, the following stand out: 1) the positive mood of the participating student body is aimed at decision-making, pride, and care in the environment; while the pole of the negative state shows features of concern; 2) it is necessary to strengthen the skills of attention and emotional clarity in the participating group to reach an adequate level; and 3) improving the levels of emotional skills could boost the mood of preservice teachers.

Cognitive non-pharmacological intervention strategies have shown improvements in attentional and executive processes in older adults. the use of mobile applications has allowed the classic paper-and-pencil tasks to be transferred to a more user-friendly and intuitive format. however, their applicability and effectiveness are not yet clear. Objective: to analyze the effect of a cognitive training program on general cognitive performance, processing speed, and cognitive flexibility, based on a commercial mobile application (Lumosity). Materials and method: a univariate design of repeated measures was used. the sample consisted of 50 older adults from the osorno commune, Chile, to whom the supervised training program consisted of 69 sessions over 6 months. Results: a significant improvement in processing speed and executive function was observed after the application of the program. it was also seen that the age and years of schooling seem to modulate these changes. Conclusions: the potential use of mobile applications for the development of cognitive intervention programs in older adults, could decrease the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia.

The study characterizes the level of metacognitive appropriation of pedagogical knowledge of the Pedagogy students. For this, it was used an instrument deliberately designed for the research, with a Likert type rating scale that inquiries into the metacognitive appropriation of pedagogical knowledge. The instrument considered conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal components, based on performance indicators. The test was applied through a computational skill to 107 students of Pedagogy programs. It accomplished the validation, application, and analysis of results, extracting the Cronbach's alpha coefficient value of 0.933 from 31 items; apart from the interpretative analysis of the students' answers. The diagnosis reported on the level of pedagogical knowledge, with a tendency of medium performance in the three programs. The results have allowed to identify students' strengths and weaknesses, reorienting the subjects based on cognitive emptiness, professional skills and attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
