The lack of adequate educommunicative training often results in the problematic use of ICT by adolescents, leading to various issues such as anxiety, depression, isolation, and the deterioration of intra- and interpersonal relationships, language impoverishment, and even aggression. In relation to the latter, the significant increase in child-to-parent violence in recent years is noteworthy, emerging as a concerning problem in multiple countries. Therefore, this study conducts a systematic review based on the PRISMA method to identify the most suitable instruments for assessing potential inappropriate use of ICT in adolescents and the child-to-parent violence stemming from it. The databases employed include Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, WorldCat, PubMed, PubPsych, and Dialnet, yielding a total of 224 instruments. Of these, fifteen scales were analyzed based on their characteristics and psychometric properties. After applying exclusion criteria, the ERA-RSI scale, the UPNT Questionnaire, and the CPV-Q-P were chosen. The complementarity of these three instruments allows for an exploration of the issue’s current state and provides a holistic perspective that facilitates the design of appropriate educommunicative training benefiting all stakeholders and establishes measures to prevent both the inappropriate use of ICT and manifestations of child-to-parent violence arising from it.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) significantly impacts communicative, social, and behavioral skills, especially in children with Level 3 ASD. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems can help address these challenges. Aided augmented input emerges as an AAC strategy that enhances expression and comprehension through visual and verbal inputs from the communicator. Additionally, the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has enabled their educational and therapeutic use to support individuals with ASD, providing versatile and accessible tools that facilitate learning, interaction, and skill development. This study aims to analyze the effects of combining aided augmented input with a multimodal ICT support called EC+, compared to ARASAAC paper-based resources, on communicative, social, and behavioral skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare the effects of both resources, including two groups of 6 children each, all with Level 3 ASD. The results showed significant improvements with both resources, but the ICT support proved more effective in the areas of communication and behavior. It is concluded that EC+ offers a more interactive and effective approach to enhancing the overall development of children with ASD, complementing paper-based resources in a valuable and innovative way.

Promoting spatial intelligence and intuition in secondary school is critical for future architecture and engineering professionals to develop their skills. Secondary schools, based mainly on digital tools, work in this direction. However, given the performance of undergraduate students, there is still room for improvement in acquiring this skill. The main drawbacks identified in developing spatial intelligence using digital tools are the need for more development of spatial vision and its lack of correlation with the physical environment. This work aims to present the experience, and results obtained in the 4º ESO+EMPRESA program of the Community of Madrid to promote spatial intelligence. The experience used a workshop methodology to relate digital and classic spatial didactics, thus interpreting the built and urban space. This activity had a favorable development among secondary school students, in which students with architecture degrees also collaborated. The results obtained in the workshop highlight that secondary school students could correlate digital and classical media to understand the relationship between urban wandering and architectural design. The workshop results confirm that using mixed spatial methods is fundamental to achieving adequate spatial development where digital tools must complement classical ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent pandemic forced the virtualization of educational processes around the world, which caused a series of problems in the quality of teaching due to the improvisation of its execution. The reappearance of the metaverse as a new social scenario has opened new possibilities to overcome the problems inherited by education during a pandemic. Therefore, the present study aims to review the literature on the emerging concept of “metaversity” through a systematic review. A methodology was developed following the PRISMA statement in the WoS, Scopus and Scielo databases. Twenty research studies were selected that were closest to the proposed concept of metaversity, where their main characteristics and scope are identified. The results show that, although there are no experiences that unify all possible areas to be developed in a virtualized university, there are fundamental advances in specific sectors. Educational benefits of the implementation of metaversity for students are identified, such as the improvement of cognitive skills and personalization of learning. The potential of metaversity to transform higher education is evidenced by offering not only the implementation of immersive learning but also a new center of virtual social interaction within the university campus.

Social identities and representations are factors of necessary analysis for a better understanding of why collective action arises and endures. In this direction, this article investigates such elements and their diffusion through Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in two social movements in Mexico and Spain. To this end, a mixed methodology is used, consisting of interviews and questionnaires on activists. The results highlight the high degree of identification of activists first with the way in which each movement conceives reality and the goals they pursue, and second with the status attributed to communication as a key tool for generating social change through the digital dissemination of their own contents and values. In conclusion, the research directly verifies the interrelation of the social representations of each activist with the causes of participation, the ends they pursue, the strategies employed and the values and contents disseminated through ICTs by the movements.

Media convergence has led to new and old media merging to disseminate information. Thanks to the rise of social networks at the educational-communicative level, it has generated a new paradigm in the way of educating and accessing certain content. This transformation from solid to liquid has caused an alteration in different contexts, especially at the level of scientific dissemination. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate and deepen in a new emerging knowledge format, how experts and scientific disseminators from different academic areas make use of the TikTok platform as a tool for the dissemination of content and formal knowledge. To this end, a total of 221 microvideos from four selected profiles in Health Sciences, Social and Legal Sciences, Engineering, and Arts and Humanities were analysed using a quantitative-qualitative methodology with the use of content analysis. Furthermore, according to Stempel's constructed week theory, the inclusion criterion for the sample selection derives from the "Science Week" in Spain in the period 2020-2023. Indeed, more and more interested users are accessing these platforms in search of the latest updates on scientific developments, as well as to discuss and interact with current and particularly important science-related topics.

Geocaching is an activity that involves hiding or finding treasures (geocaches) anywhere with the help of GPS or geolocation. This work consists of the design, development and evaluation of a socioeducational practice, using a mobile device as a tool and a geolocation application as an instrument. The aim of this study is to find out the impact of the implementation of an educational practice in the municipal context to raise environmental awareness and improve digital literacy using geolocation. This proposal is part of the socio-educational area in the information society, within the field of child protection, specifically in a day care centre for minors. This research is qualitative, in particular it is a multiple case study and is framed within the narrative approach. The results and conclusions show that the children and the professionals involved are satisfied with the implementation of the socio-educational practice in the municipal context, with entertainment predominating as a positive aspect. The children have acquired mainly procedural knowledge, with the support of digital technology. Finally, it is worth mentioning the impact on motivation and conflict resolution.

This study seeks to analyse, through teachers' perceptions, the impact of the digital divide and the relationships of educational inclusion in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education. The study also aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda, which promotes inclusive and quality education. A quantitative methodology was used, employing a specially designed and validated Likert scale to measure teachers' perceptions in three dimensions: perceptions of the digital divide's effects on teaching; perceptions of the inclusive use of technologies in the classroom and inclusive education practices in the classroom. Altogether, 790 primarylevel teachers from western Honduras participated. The results indicate that perceptions are limited on the digital divide's effects among the participating teachers. Likewise, differences were found in how older teachers perceive the inclusive integration of technologies in the classroom. Furthermore, the participating teachers primarily demonstrated a theoretical understanding of inclusive education practices. These findings indicate the existence of an improved awareness and practical understanding of technological integration and inclusive strategies in the educational context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents how the combination of both the active methodologies and the information and communication technologies (ICT) constitutes effective procedures and tools for teaching and learning business Spanish. The theoretical concepts reviewed are the framework of the activity implemented, which main aim was to verify the proposed assumption. In addition, it was also suggested to test the development of the communicative and digital competences of the students that were involved, as well as the necessary abilities to work cooperatively. The participants were 36 individuals, divided into two groups, who studied Spanish as a foreign language and Business and Finance at an educational centre in the USA. Each group used a different active methodology, the case study method and the project-based learning, and digital tools. The research had both a mixed method design, quantitative and qualitative, and a quasiexperimental one. An assessment rubric and an observation sheet were used in order to analise the results, which validated the hypothesis and the objectives of the study. It is therefore concluded that the interaction, participation and skills stimulated during the didactic performance with the active methodologies and the ICT tools implemented and the motivation derived from this process achieve and improve the significant learning of business Spanish.

The present study was a meta-analysis compiling research on digital citizenship conducted in Mexico in 2011 - 2023. It was guided by the objective of arguing, analyzing and categorizing the lines of knowledge generation and application (LGAC) related to digital citizenship in Mexico. The methodology applied was meta-analysis where 88 research studies were documented: 47 papers, 33 journal articles and 8 theses. The studies found support the existence of six LGAC in Mexico. It was concluded that the studies are related to understanding the way in which society appropriates digital technologies, interactions through social networks and the manifestations of digital identity. Another point to highlight is that the study of digital citizenship has been used to analyze the acquisition of digital skills and attitudes, social issues addressed by digitalization, the roles played by educational actors in the virtual environment and the promotion of multiculturalism. The studies found provide relevance to the LGAC, and allow concluding that digital citizenship is a topic present in research on educational technology in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ICT is more than just an information medium since they can help promote significant changes in teaching. Taking advantage of the mandatory use of these tools in the COVID pandemic, we have analyzed the activities carried out by teachers of STEM subjects (Mathematics, Science and Technology) in secondary education, through two studies. Both studies were aimed at studying whether the objectives and expected results of the activities were more constructive and focused on the teachers or, on the contrary, they were more reproductive and focused on the teacher or the content. The first study was carried out by designing and administering a Likert questionnaire on the frequency of different types of tasks. An analysis of variance was applied to these data. The second study analyzed an activity selected by the teachers themselves using a category system (SATA). The results show a predominance of reproductive activities, managed by the teacher and a use of ICT as support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The primary objective of this research study is to assess the impact of technological tools on Chilean companies sales. The most recent data are obtained from the published survey "Acceso y Uso de Tecnología de Información y Comunicación en Empresas." The variables that affect company sales are determined through a descriptive analysis and a linear regression model. The results show that increases in the variables of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) specialists, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, social networks, broadband, websites, electronic devices, and Big Data generate higher sales for Chilean companies. ERP software and ICT have highest coefficient levels in the regression model. In conclusion, it is recommended that companies opt for the use of digital tools, specifically on ERP systems and in the hiring of specialized ICT personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research was to realize a metric study of the scientific production generated between1992-2022, about one of the topics that has acquired greater importance in the educational field, due to the pandemic by COVID-19: the teacher technostress. For that reason, 139 scientific documents indexed in the Web of Science database were examined. The content was analyzed with Excel spreadsheet and with the VOSviewer program. To guarantee the quality of the methodological procedure, the PRISMA protocol was used. First, a bibliometric analysis of the extracted publications was conducted, taking as a reference several indicators of production and dispersion. Secondly, a network analysis was performed, to try to understand the collaboration structure between countries and the conceptual structure of the topic under study. The results highlight that the existing scientific information on technostress in teachers is scarce, that it is widely dispersed by research areas and that there are no major producers on the subject. Likewise, COVID-19 has been a determining turning point that has generated the highest percentage of scientific production recorded to date, which is contributing to give greater visibility to technostress, not only as a psychosocial occupational risk but also to the teaching profession as one of the most vulnerable work collectives in an online environment.

Students commonly have difficulty with mathematics and mathematical problem solving. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implement interventions aimed at improving these essential components of learning. In this research, a didactic strategy supported by Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is proposed for teaching mathematics, in the fourth year of Basic General Education (EGB), elementary sublevel, of the Educational Unit (UE) La Salle, in Ecuador. The preliminary data collection tools were questionnaires and interviews. The analysis technique used to analyze the quantitative data was quantitative descriptive. The participants were 50 students (6 to 8 years old), who were divided into two groups (experimental and control). Based on the statistical analysis, it was identified that the use of ICT has a positive impact on the academic performance of students and it was found that ICT is more convincing, effective and valuable in teaching mathematics compared to conventional teaching techniques teaching. It is recommended that digital educational resources be used in the teaching of mathematics to improve the academic performance of elementary school students. The proposed strategy was validated by expert criteria, as Very valuable, so this strategy can be classified as an effective didactic guide for teaching mathematics based on Information and Communications Technologies in fourth-year students of EGB elementary sublevel of the EU La Salle.

The Minuto de Dios University Corporation (UNIMINUTO) is a Colombian educational institution with campuses in different regions of the country. In the city of Barranquilla, UNIMINUTO offers the Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education (LEID) as a distance learning program, combining remote classes and faceto- face interactions. For UNIMINUTO's LEID students, having a solid foundation in Technological Competence is a "must" in order to respond well to the challenges faced by today's preschool teachers, with the understanding that the strength of his technological training empowers them with self-esteem, motivation for achievement, autonomy, sense of belonging and social responsibility. This article analyzes some of the findings derived from research carried out in the LEID program, to determine how important Technological Competence is for the Early Childhood Education Graduate. In the first instance, five aspects that make up the global conception of this Competence are considered. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the 21st century teacher's need to be innovative in the management of TIC and the effects such innovation could have in terms of new behaviors and the expansion of their field of action. Finally, interesting conclusions were drawn related to challenges for the preschool teacher in the context of the 21st century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From a virtue-based approach to digital education, this article aims to analyse the perception of a group of Spanish adolescents and their practice of two civic virtues on the Internet and social media: solidarity and tolerance, crucial for social engagement and for building humanising interpersonal relationships. For this purpose, a quantitative and qualitative research methodology was used. A survey was administered to a purposive sample of 131 high school students. The results were analysed with SPSS.25 and Atlas.ti.8.4. The respondents expressed an abstract positive perception of the possibilities of the Internet for promoting both virtues; however, on a personal level, their practice of these virtues on the web was limited. The collected data suggest the need to strengthen a social understanding of ICTs and accompany this kind of use, steering them towards an engagement that looks into future life plans, in contrast to consumerist and individualist uses.

This article is based on a master's thesis on the teaching-learning methodological modifications adopted in the context of COVID-19 progress both in Paraguay and worldwide. This situation has required modifications to the teaching-learning methodology and supporting materials, as well as the adoption of new technologies, resulting in a transition from face-to-face education to distance education for both teachers and students. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of ICT used by teachers (professors) in university distance education during the pandemic at the School of Administration, Universidad Nacional de Asunción, Coronel Oviedo branch in 2020. The data was collected through digital surveys using a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of 62 individuals. The findings indicate that there was a limited teacher training in the use of technology tools for distance education. The educational platform Classroom is commonly used for asynchronous classes, the video conferencing resource Google Meet is used for synchronous classes, and WhatsApp is often used for communication between teachers and students in virtual environments. Classes are typically taught using PowerPoint presentations. Both teachers and students perceive the effectiveness of ICT to be good, but students have only regular access to technological resources and internet connectivity, while teachers have sufficient access to them.

The general objective of the research refers to: Analyze the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching practice of the UNA Dentistry Career during the COVID-19 pandemic in the period 2020-2021. The methodology applied was a mixed approach, descriptive type and concurrent triangulation design. As a data collection tool, surveys were applied to teachers and interviews to coordinators and students of the UNA Faculty of Dentistry. The sample was made up of 114 teachers of the Dentistry Career, 9 Coordinators or Directors of areas, as well as 13 students. The results obtained allow us to point out that the experience was good, but training efforts must still be continued to develop technological skills that can streamline and energize educational practice. In the case of the students, although they felt satisfied, they mentioned that at first receiving a lot of information through materials that were posted on the platforms, it frustrated and demotivated them but that they later overcame those inconveniences. This work allows us to conclude that although education was greatly affected and that everyone who makes up the Educational System did hard work to overcome the obstacles. The competent organizations must continue working to strengthen educational quality where technology must be seen as an already unavoidable complement to teaching practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The widespread use of ICTs converges in today's schools with the commitment to competencybased learning. In the social sciences, this innovative approach materialises in the concept of historical thinking, as well as through the skills of historical comprehension. This paper seeks to integrate both elements in a research with high school students in which, using a didactic proposal where ICT constitutes the principal axis, the levels of historical thinking acquired are evaluated. The results show that an adequate use of these tools favours the approach of complex historical problems and corroborate that students who are familiar with their use are better prepared to do so. Although there are still difficulties in the competent learning of History, the results of the International Baccalaureate students stand out, confirming that the knowledge necessary for the formation of historical thinking consist of cognitive skills that students can acquire.
