University radio stations in Colombia have become a significant contributor to the country's creative and cultural industry, having developed their unique identities over almost a century of existence. In the last two decades, the number of university radio stations has grown exponentially, with over 80 stations from 60 universities of various types (public and private), identities (confessional, secular, regional, national), and focuses (educational and research). Each station has acquired distinct characteristics. The study presented here used both quantitative (survey and analysis sheets) and qualitative (interview and documentary review) methods to investigate university radio stations and their agents. The aim was to identify and analyze the challenges faced by the directors of this type of radio station. The analysis focused on the relationship between the media and the university, mission objectives, a sustainable content production structure, target audience definition, and event selection reflecting system dynamism. The main conclusion is that university radio is making conceptual progress, but the administrative figure of the director needs strengthening. A manager with strategic skills establishes tactical direction and oversees the efficient production of high-quality content to effectively communicate with the target audience.

Introduction: the didactics of statistics in which the attitudes of the students are circumscribed is a recent field. Objective: to identify the emerging attitudes towards statistics of students who are studying public administration careers, at the Superior School of Public Administration, in Colombia. In the scientific communities there is no consensus regarding the notion of attitude, without pretending to be totalitarian, the attitude towards statistics is assumed as a starting point, as what makes the person have a predisposition to assume the activities of their interaction. Materials and methods: the study is descriptive and exploratory, supported by principal component analysis. The inventory "Attitudes Towards Statistics", which has been previously used in contexts of higher education in Argentina. Results: the study sample was incidental and not probabilistic. The statistical assumptions correspond to the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy 0.749. The results identify three emerging attitudes (epistemology and didactics of statistics, problem solving and task value and utility) towards statistics, with a reliability that ranges between 0.855 and 0.889 and that explains 78.445 % of the variance. Conclusions: for the study population, a favorable attitude towards the study and the involvement of statistics in their professional training are identified. Additionally, for their learning, the student body preferably identifies with the interaction through case studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

STEM education is an approach that aims to respond to the demands of a highly digitized society with emerging problems that cannot be solved from a single disciplinary field. In Colombia, initiatives have proliferated from different sectors, still isolated and with few reports in higher education, particularly in initial teacher training. Therefore, this article aimed to analyze the understandings and appropriations of the STEM/STEAM educational approach in the country from a perspective of professional training. To this effect, a critical review of undergraduate works was carried out based on the following categories: purposes, acronyms and denominations; levels of integration; learning objectives; and implementation strategies. As a result, a preference for using the STEM acronym was found, and interdisciplinarity was highlighted as the level of integration sought in the design of classroom experiences, but, at the same time, challenges for achieving it were recognized, as well as discussions that are still limited regarding the way in which meaningful relationships could be established between the disciplines of the STEM/STEAM acronym.

Introduction: Diversity is a challenge in healthcare because it requires nurses to be culturally competent and able to provide care adapted to the beliefs, values, and practices of patients from diverse cultures. Objective: To determine the level of cultural competence of nursing students at a public university in Colombia. Materials and Methods: Quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The Chilean Spanish version of the Cultural Competence Scale, previously validated in Colombia, was used for data collection. The sample consisted of 148 nursing students enrolled from the third to the eighth semester during the period from August to December 2021. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U and the Kruskal-Wallis H tests. Results: The average score (?:72.3) obtained by the nursing students indicates moderate levels of cultural competence. Significant differences were found in the level of competence regarding previous training (p < 0.05) and experience in caring for patients from diverse cultures (p < 0.05). Discussion: Participants in this study showed levels of cultural competence similar to those found in research conducted with nursing students in other countries, such as South Korea, India, South Africa, Iraq, and Chile, among other countries. Conclusions: The level of cultural competence of nursing students enables them to provide safe, humane, empathetic, effective, and culturally coherent actions to patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The quality of teaching has been a matter of debate, regardless of the degree of development of the countries in question. The recruitment and maintenance of potential teachers has become a problem that affects economic policies because of their implications with respect to social capital. The matter has been studied from different perspectives, by questioning different interest groups, as well as the relevance of prioritizing coverage or quality. The purpose of this document is to identify the preferences and perceptions of students who did not opt for a teaching career, but who can give an account of the appreciation of that profession, particularly those who are starting their professional life. As for the methodology, a descriptive and multidimensional scaling analysis is used to identify the preferences and perceptions of the respondents who are first-year students majoring in fields other than education at a university accredited by the Ministry of National Education in Colombia. The research confirms that concern about personal fulfillment and economic-labor factors affects decisions on whether or not to pursue a career in the teaching profession. This leads to strategic recommendations for policy-makers on the need to evaluate both economic and social aspects in order to attract students to a teaching career and, at the same time, to ensure that those who choose this profession continue in it and become personal and labor referents.

Comprehensive training is one of the elements that have been considered very important to positively impact society. This training, according to the Association of Jesuit Colleges of Colombia (Acodesi), has several dimensions, which if developed could compromise more decisively the person who realizes the value of this training to impact their society with their actions .When compared with nursing skills or what is proposed in the Law 266, it opens a way for the student nurse, from his formative project, to take responsibility to train himself as a concerned citizen and able to influence the transformation of society. This comprehensive training relate to the principles of the nursing profession, which means that the nurse guides the nursing care to provide efficient and effective assistance to the person, family and community, founded on social, human and ethical values and technical-scientific standards. Carrying out this goal involves learning to make decisions based on values that are interlinked with the concepts of service, commitment, solidarity and the option of an alternative performance to transform any practices which are found meaningless. An alternative where the quality of nursing services constitute a way to contribute to the transformation of society and fundamentally of health services which in Colombia is even more urgent.

This article illustrates the versatility of prospective planning as a tool for creating academic units within universities. It is derived from a project entitled Basis of the National Police Education Faculty, which worked with stages 1 and 3 of that methodology. Phase 1 - Analysis of the Current Situation involved defining the unit of analysis, detecting factors of change and revising the contextual framework. Stage 3 - Proposal for a Future Scenario implied defining the fundamentals, guidelines and organizational characteristics of the unit. The need to design a Professional and Specialized Training Unit in the Education Division (DINAE) of the National Police was identified. This process allowed for a review of national and international teacher training units and, consequently, the design of a scenario comprised of pedagogic, curricular and organizational elements in keeping with the guidelines of the Police.

The Colombian context shows harsh social, educational, and economical realities which have become favorite topics of study at the Universities. This text presents reflections on the formation of psychologists in Colombia and the way this formation becomes articulated with the demands made by the Colombian context. In this reflection, standpoints such as De Sousa Santos' (2005) are brought to the table, in order to suggest that the formation of Psychologists should take into account aspects such as keeping education as a public good, defending scientific and pedagogical autonomy, and building pluriuniversitary knowledge. In order to be able to attain those goals, it is suggested that certain student skills and concepts be fostered, such as the installation of the question, knowledge that is historical and geografically-linked, the ability to move in different contexts and the compassionate ability.

This essay highlights the articulation of a series of privileges around training and writing practices among anthropologists in Colombia. The essay examines, on one hand, the posture adopted by certain anthropologists as owners of their texts, which leads them to create obstacles in their circulation, and the political implications of such a posture. On the other, the article raises questions about the introduction of graduate anthropology programs in the country based on the undermining of the relevance and specificity of existing undergraduate education.
