El objetivo principal de este estudio es determinar el impacto de la motivación laboral en la calidad de atención en una cadena peruana de restaurantes, específicamente en la sede Ate en Lima-Perú, 2023. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, transversal, explicativo y correlacional-causal. La población como la muestra censal estuvo conformada por 50 colaboradores de la cadena de restaurantes estudiada. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante encuestas con un cuestionario compuesto por 23 ítems. Las variables estudiadas fueron motivación laboral (variable independiente) desglosada en dos dimensiones (motivación intrínseca y motivación extrínseca) y calidad de atención (variable dependiente) en tres dimensiones (eficiencia laboral, empatía con el cliente y capacidad de respuesta del colaborador). Se aplicó las técnicas de estadística descriptiva e inferencial utilizando SPSS v28 para el análisis de datos. Asimismo, se empleó la regresión ordinal para verificar las hipótesis del estudio. Entre los resultados más relevantes se encuentran: consistencia interna aceptable en las variables (Motivación laboral con ω=0.898 y Calidad de atención con ω=0.896) y la existencia de una causalidad entre las variables con un coeficiente de Nagelkerke en 0.774 (77.4%). Se concluye que la motivación laboral tiene un impacto significativo en la calidad de atención (p

En las universidades cubanas se han encontrado deficiencias en el dominio del Derecho Agrario de los estudiantes que egresan de la Licenciatura en Derecho, causadas en lo fundamental por la baja motivación estudiantil hacia la asignatura y el escaso manejo de estrategias para potenciar el aprendizaje. Ante esta realidad latente, conlleva a realizar un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, correlacional y descriptivo en el que se aplicó el instrumento Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), a 212 estudiantes con el objetivo de valorar las conductas motivacionales y las estrategias de aprendizaje para el estudio del Derecho Agrario. Ello permitió definir el perfil motivacional y cognitivo de la muestra de estudio. Se comprobó la necesidad de implementar procesos formativos que respondan a una mayor calidad de la gestión del conocimiento y el imperativo de comprender las aspiraciones sociales en materia agraria en las instituciones de Educación Superior.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto de un programa de intervención basado en el modelo ludotécnico y el de enseñanza comprensiva del deporte (Teaching Games for Understanding, TGfU) en la motivación de los jugadores de hockey sobre patines. La intervención constaba de 14 sesiones de entrenamiento. Se desarrolló un estudio cuasiexperimental con una comparación anterior y posterior a la intervención de 11 jugadores de hockey sobre patines de la categoría sub-10 (M = 7.18, DE = 0.83) procedentes de un club escolar español. Se empleó la escala de motivación deportiva para analizar los diversos tipos de motivación. En general, los resultados revelaron un aumento de algunas formas autónomas de motivación y un descenso de la motivación controlada, tal y como se había hipotetizado. En cuanto a la motivación autónoma, la intervención tuvo un efecto positivo en la motivación intrínseca hacia el conocimiento y la motivación intrínseca hacia la estimulación. Por otro lado, los resultados mostraron una disminución de las regulaciones introyectada y externa de los jugadores. Por tanto, la intervención resultó útil para disminuir los tipos de motivación más negativos establecidos en la teoría de la autodeterminación. Este estudio demuestra de forma preliminar que una unidad didáctica híbrida ludotécnica/TGfU se puede aplicar a un deporte como el hockey sobre patines para mejorar de manera significativa la motivación de los jugadores.

Motivation in learning mathematics is a determining factor for the academic and cognitive development of students. Therefore, this study aimed to design a ludic strategy to enhance the motivation of sixth grade students of General Basic Education (EGB) in mathematics. A quasiexperimental study was carried out with an experimental group and a control group, where the playful strategy was implemented in the former and traditional teaching was maintained in the latter. The sample consisted of 70 students from the Basic Education School ‘República de Italia’, divided into two groups of 35 each, as well as 3 mathematics teachers. The study combined qualitative and quantitative methods, including teacher interviews, design and validation of the play strategy, application of questionnaires and analysis of academic performance. The results revealed low motivation and unsatisfactory performance in mathematics, especially in the control group. The application of the play strategy showed significant improvements in motivation and academic performance in the experimental group. Statistical tests such as frequency analysis, Wilcoxon and Student's t-tests were used to compare the levels of motivation and academic performance before and after the intervention, verifying the normality of the data with the Shapiro-Wilk test. This study highlights the importance of implementing innovative and motivational strategies in mathematics teaching to improve students' learning and performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Motivation adopts a central position in the process of teaching Language and Literature, by allowing students to recognize, from their motivational intentions, why and what for they learn. The objective of this research is to develop a program of activities based on gamification with digital tools to enhance the motivation for learning Language and Literature in students of the second year of general basic education of the school Soldado José Díaz, Chacras, Arenillas, Ecuador, in the school year 2023-2024. A descriptive and explanatory research with experimental design was developed. In the characterization carried out in the first stage of the research process, limitations were identified regarding the motivational orientations to receive, understand, interpret and respond to messages, and insufficient motivational orientations to read and understand written texts. The program of activities based on gamification to enhance motivation for learning Language and Literature was designed as a resource to be used in the teachinglearning process, so its structure determined the following components: objective, activities, resources and scenarios, assessment and feedback. The research process developed allows us to affirm conclusively that the implementation of a program of activities based on gamification is effective in enhancing the motivation for learning Language and Literature in students in the second year of General Basic Education.

While past decades Western societies have been shifting from mandatory military service toward all-volunteer forces, a number of them have retained conscription. A growing emphasis on individualization and neoliberalist ideas results in a tension for youths between fulfilling a duty and the need for constant self-development. We argue that a central mechanism for addressing this challenge is convertibility, the ability to use competencies gained in one sphere in another, and thus increasing the individual value of conscription for recruits. By linking convertibility to societal expectations, we demonstrate how societies shape ideas of what is convertible and why, and by relating convertibility to agency and motivation, we extend the concept to the individual level. We argue that as material rewards are limited and conscripts cannot rely on occupational motivations, convertibility has a potential to increase the value of conscription for recruits and enable them to combine institutional motivators with utilitarian motives.

This study aimed to compare the English language learning motivation of two cohorts of Chinese primary school learners in a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and a non‐CLIL instructional setting. A total of 270 learners from third, fourth and fifth grades in the CLIL programme (N = 184) and the non‐CLIL programme (N = 86) participated in this study. Data were collected through a young learners' L2 motivation questionnaire. Results indicated that CLIL learners overall displayed a significantly higher level of L2 motivation than their non‐CLIL counterparts in the Ideal L2 Self domain and L2 Learning Experience. However, students in the non‐CLIL programme overall rated themselves higher in the Ought‐to L2 Self domain. When comparing L2 motivation levels between CLIL and non‐CLIL sub‐groups in different grades, we found that the non‐CLIL subsamples' mean motivational scores witnessed a continuous decline with the increase of grade in the scales of Ideal L2 Self, Ought‐to L2 Self and Parental Expectations. Regarding Cultural Interest and L2 Learning Experience, CLIL students in both the fourth‐ and fifth‐grade cohorts exhibited a significantly higher level of motivation than their non‐CLIL peers. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the implementation of CLIL programme as a potential strategy to boost young learners' motivation towards L2 learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The improvement of arithmetic calculation skills in General Basic Education (EGB) students is fundamental for their academic and cognitive development. The present study investigated the impact of a strategy based on active learning on the development of arithmetic skills in students in the fourth year of General Basic Education (EGB). A sample of 25 students and five teachers from the "15 de Abril" Intercultural Bilingual Community Education Center of Basic Education was selected. A pretest-posttest analysis was carried out to evaluate emotional and motivational elements of learning, as well as the students' performance before and after the implementation of the strategy. Tests of the relationship between variables were applied using IBM SPSS Statistic software. The results indicated a significant increase in students' motivation and satisfaction, as well as in their arithmetic calculation skills. As a complement, a survey of teachers was conducted to evaluate their perception of the usefulness and viability of the strategy in the classroom. The teachers' assessment revealed a positive perception regarding the relevance of the proposed strategy to promote active learning and the development of arithmetic and higher order cognitive skills in students.

It is crucial to address and solve the challenges faced by EGBE students in solving problems involving the use of addition and subtraction operations to strengthen their fundamental mathematical skills. The present study aimed to develop a methodological strategy supported by ICT, which combines gamification of learning and PBL, to promote the development of basic mathematical skills of addition and subtraction, from a cognitive and motivational approach, in third grade EGBE students. The study was carried out with the participation of 25 third grade students of the Unidad Educativa Mundial (Matutina) in the Elementary Basic, in addition to the collaboration of 9 mathematics teachers of the same institution. The proposed strategy consisted of 5 stages for its design and implementation, planned for a total of 12 weeks. The applied diagnosis allowed the identification of cognitive, emotional, and motivational insufficiencies in the students. To implement the strategy, it was decided to use the Wordwall web platform for game design. The statistical results used for the pretest-posttest comparative analysis allowed determining a significant growth in the students' grades, as well as progress in response times and in emotional and motivational aspects. The criteria of the experts consulted corroborated the relevance of the proposed strategy, although they highlighted areas for improvement in relation to the consideration of ICT portability in the strategy.

The research explored the effectiveness of integrating pop songs in the teaching of English to students in the Manabí region, Ecuador. Using this pedagogical strategy is important because it seeks to increase students' motivation and improve their language skills in a culturally relevant context. The main objective was to analyze how pop music can contribute to the development of communicative skills, such as listening comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation and sociolinguistic competence. A mixed methodology was used in the research, applying qualitative and quantitative methods, including participatory observation, interviews and content analysis. A case study was conducted with students and teachers, collecting data on their use and perceptions of pop music in the classroom. The main result showed that 85% of teachers regularly use pop music in their classes and that 90% of students prefer this method over traditional ones. It is concluded that pop music is an effective and motivating tool for learning English. Its use not only improves students' communicative skills, but also creates a more dynamic and attractive learning environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Educational assessment in elementary education can be an effective tool for transforming traditional pedagogical practices by promoting more meaningful learning adapted to the individual needs of students in a dynamic and constantly evolving educational context. This study investigates the impact of educational assessment on the academic performance and motivation of students in the fourth year of Elementary General Basic Education in a rural Ecuadorian educational unit. Deficiencies were identified in traditional evaluative practices, which focused on memorization and did not encourage critical thinking and creativity. A formative evaluation strategy was designed and implemented based on playful and participatory activities, such as role-playing, contests, and field expeditions, focused on self-evaluation and feedback. The sample included 20 students, 7 teachers, and a director of the Intercultural Bilingual Educational Unit "Hercilio Pianchiche Orejuela". Pretest and posttest results were compared using nonparametric tests, which provided statistical evidence of significant improvements in students' motivation and academic performance, with a notable increase in the "Consistent" and "Advanced" levels. The expert evaluation validated the feasibility, relevance and flexibility of the strategy, with a concordance coefficient of 0.9, although improvements in gamification and the use of local materials were suggested. The study concluded that the implementation of innovative and participatory educational assessments can significantly improve students' motivation and academic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
