Digital skills and teaching performance


 
 
 The progress of technology and the arrival of the pandemic in the world has generated a large-scale replication in digital education, transforming education from the face-to-face environment to the virtual environment. The objective of this article is to review the progress regarding key points of digital competence and teaching performance. It is a theoretical- descriptive exploration of a documentary type, with documents between 2019 and 2020. SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science databases were used, including descriptors such as “Digital competences”, “pedagogical performance”, “Digital inclusion” and “ uses of TIC ”. These descriptors were combined in different ways at the instant of navigation in order to broaden the search criteria. In today's context, all educational institutions have had to migrate to the digital age, both public and private, as key to surviving in times of crisis, having technology as allies. Concluding, that teachers have had to adapt to this new educational and training profile in which we find ourselves engulfed by the technological trend in education
 
 

Document type assignment by Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and publishers to “Top 100” papers

Document type (DT) assignment is an important feature from literature databases. This work evaluated how the literature databases and the publisher websites labeled “Top 100” (T100) papers, a recurring act for which researchers identify and analyze the 100 most cited entities (e.g. articles) within a pre-defined literature set. T100 papers concurrently indexed in the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and PubMed databses were identified. Among the 248 T100 papers analyzed, no general consensus or consistent pattern was found for labeling T100 papers by the three data sources and the publishers’ websites. All four sources labeled between 30–40% of the T100 papers as reviews. However, PubMed mostly did not give DT labels to the rest of the papers whereas WOS, Scopus, and publisher websites labeled them as articles. The inter-rater agreement was only fair; the decision seemed to be influenced by whether the authors mentioned the word “review” suggestive of the publication/document type in the title, abstract or keywords.

Profile of women affected with premature childbirth and neonatal outcomes

Abstract Objectives: to describe the profile of women affected with premature childbirth and neonatal outcomes at a referral maternity in the city of Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. Methods: descriptive and retrospective documentary type study, with a quantitative approach, carried out from January to December, 2017, with 253 medical records of women who had premature childbirth in a referral maternity. Results: the average age was 28, with the prevalence of women living in a stable union, graduated from high school and without formal work. The gestational mean average was three pregnancies, gestational age of 34 weeks and three days, and six prenatal consultations, starting in the first trimester. The major intercurrence was pre-eclampsia. In relation to the neonatal data, there was a prevalence of male newborns, with an average of 2.251 kg and a score of seven on the 1-minute Apgar and eight on the 5-minute Apgar. Newborns in going to a hospital accommodation after childbirth and in room air, spending an average of 12.71 days in the hospital.

Latin American Scientific Production on Burnout in Scopus, 2010 - 2020

This research aimed to characterize the Latin American scientific literature production on burnout between 2010 and 2020. A descriptive study was carried out with Latin American publications in journals indexed in the Scopus database as the unit of analysis. The variables studied were document frequency, scientific production by country, number of authors, institutional affiliation and scientific production by descriptor on burnout. The documentary type that appears the most is research papers with 85.03%. Out of a total of 154 authors affiliated to 163 Latin American institutions, the trend of scientific production by country shows that Brazil leads with 52.51% of the production in Latin America. The journals with the largest production were Revista da Escola de Enfermagem (n= 8), Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Trabalho and Revista Latino Americana de Enfermagem, with 22 documents each. Scientific production studies on an area of knowledge guide the research work. Thus, knowing what publications have been made on burnout will allow us to establish a Latin American research policy that will benefit the psychological discipline. However, it is necessary to increase the number of studies on burnout in Latin America in order to consolidate authorship collaboration and the literature on the subject.

Motivación a la lectura en niños de edades tempranas

The action of reading is a complex skill in order to understand the written text. Children tend to present problems when reading, generating difficulties in reading comprehension and affecting their educational performance, the responsibility of stimulating children to read lies with parents, school and society. The objective of this research is to identify those motivational practices towards reading at early ages, exposed by different theoretical references, extracted from updated primary sources, in which positive results are evidenced for the reading habit of children. This research was carried out with a qualitative approach, at a descriptive level, with the documentary bibliographic type, with an analysis of references. The results show that the motivating practices for reading at early ages are those applied by teachers, as well as the imitation of children with parents who have reading habits. Dialogic reading that generates the role of narrator in the child and the use of bibliographic material as a promoter of the relationship between the child and the text. Reading is of vital importance for the promotion of the student's academic quality, magic methods to stimulate reading do not exist and motivating the child properly will have a positive result in his or her intellectual and academic development. The teacher as motivator is the support for the child to assume the reading process; the family is in charge of stimulating reading activity in early childhood; story reading involves children as active readers and writers; the use of library material generates a relationship between the child and the text; and dialogic reading creates an environment of equal reading motivation.

УРБАНІСТИЧНА НОМІНАЦІЯ В КОНТЕКСТІ СУЧАСНИХ МОВНИХ ПРОЦЕСІВ: ФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНО- СЕМАНТИЧНИЙ І ЛІНГВОКУЛЬТУРОЛОГІЧНИЙ АСПЕКТИ

The article deals with the modern Ukrainian urbanistic nomination as a constituent of active language processes. From the standpoint of general linguistics functional and semantic nature of urbanonym, its place and role in different discourses, the sociolinguistic phenomenon of renaming (on the example of Kyiv urbanonymy) are examined. In the context of ideas of reference analysis and semantics of syntax an urbanonym is characterized as a unit of an identifying type of meaning (as opposed to units of a predicate type of meaning), to which a close connection between a denotatum and a name, as well as the use in an utterance with the referential function is peculiar. It is shown that the functioning of an urbanistic nomination in oral discourse is determined, first of all, by the pragmatic factor, the speaker’s knowledge of the relationship between the denotatum and its name, his cultural background and experience of living in a certain urban space and by the need for orientation in it. In written speech, the urbanistic nomination is presented in reference and informational, media, historical-topographic, and fiction discourses, in which it has various functions, in particular, the function of identifying an individual or legal entity in juridical texts and other texts of a documentary type. The active sociolinguistic processes in which the urbanonyms are involved find an imprint in modern fiction discourse in the creation of non-standard syntactic constructions and the use of unofficial urbanistic nominations within the frame of language game. The practice of renaming is analyzed in the aspect of reference analysis, in connection with which two types of linguocultural situations are distinguished, due to the correlation between the transformation of the urban object (denotatum) and the change of name. It is shown that in the modern Ukrainian practice of renaming, there is a steady tendency towards the introduction of an additional predicate semantic component into the meaning of an urbanonym. It is concluded that the current functioning of the urbanonym is subordinated to the mechanisms that operate in the different discursive practices.

Análisis de las exportaciones del cacao ecuatoriano en grano en el periodo 2008 al 2018

The objective of this research is to analyze cocoa bean exports from Ecuador from 2008 to 2018, as well as its importance in the national economy. In recent years, cocoa exports have become a source of foreign currency income, generating employment, contributing to the trade balance and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The scope of the research is descriptive, non-experimental documentary type with the use of secondary sources and the collection of historical statistical data of Ecuador. The results obtained are that the changes experienced by the economy of Ecuador in the last 10 years have significantly affected exports due to the fall mainly of commodities worldwide, which implies adapting to these transformations. Under this scenario, it is concluded that the export of cocoa beans has had variations in export levels, which decrease because other countries compete in the world market with the same product at lower prices. Ecuadorian cocoa stands out for the quality of the bean, for its aroma and flavor which is an important factor to remain in the international market, which has allowed it to have a comparative advantage over other competitors, obtaining exports in 2018 of 315 tons which meant an income in FOB 710 million dollars.

BIOE and the Teaching of Physics: inferences from the Critical Theory of Technology

This article reads from Andrew Feenberg's Critical Theory of Technology, analyzing the International Bank of Educational Objects (BIOE) in Physics teaching, investigating whether the Educational Objects (EO) available in BIOE contemplate a process of teaching and learning that is critical and reflexive and that articulates with one or more pedagogical conceptions linked to its educational objective. For this, the qualitative approach of the documentary type was used for data collection and content analysis to arrive at the results. Thus, we verify that the EO for Physics available in BIOE do not contemplate a critical and reflexive teaching and learning process articulated to one or more pedagogical conceptions linked to its educational objective; it does not broaden the problematization related to educational practices in physics towards the politicization of science and technology, in understanding the implications of an educational technology; and it is absent in the very understanding of human relations with such objects and the systems in which they operate, including the teaching and learning process.

The ideal republican man: teaching “Brazilian things”, useful values and their colonizing aspects

In this article, we will analyze the narratives about the natural resources indicated as conducive to cultivation in Brazilian soil present in the reading book Cousas Brasileiras (1896) as instructors of useful knowledge for the ideal republican man between 1890 and 1896. Therefore, we will dialogue from decolonial concepts and, when selecting the speeches, we will carry out the analyzes to highlight the educational purposes of the period that were immersed in liberal ideas, intending to point out the ideal citizen. With this, when developing the study we will present the effort undertaken by the author to form modern values that are directly linked to the formation of the colonizing aspects. Situating within the scope of qualitative research in Education, of documentary type, with procedures for discourse analysis, thus, we will demonstrate how the formation of the values of modernity was inherent to the formation of the colonizing aspects as an initiative of political-ideological affirmation for the development of Brazilian nationality and its economic progress.

Dimensiones sociales y económicas del recurso hídrico

Introduction: water is a natural resource, which today being a vital limited liquid turns out to be of national and global security interest, raising a conflict of interest in its reserve, use, management and distribution. Objective: to describe an overview of the social and economic dimensions of water resources based on their use. Materials and Methods: it is structured based on a qualitative methodology of documentary type, from the consultation of books, scientific articles in virtual databases, reports, internal and international normative instruments that allowed to develop a descriptive and interpretative scope of the water resource. Results: the added value to a natural resource such as water, has created transformation and adaptation to processes of its use, management, reserve, scarcity, maintenance and distribution, in which, the interest or vision regarding water has shaped the social and economic systems of the various societies. Conclusions: the dimensions presented give a panorama in various categories of water as a limited vital liquid that puts societies in a situation of water stress, in a state of vulnerability of the right to life individually and collectively, transgressing the state of sustainable well-being in which the various sectors of society are to ensure access and guarantee of the minimum liquid vital.

Mickey Mousing Technique for the Unique Expression of Music in Nature Documentaries

There is a unique method of musical expression in the nature documentary. The expression method is Mickey Mousing technique, which expresses the movement of animals with music. The Mickey mousing technique can also be used in other types of documentaries, but it is most prominently used in nature documentaries. The Mickey Mousing technique cannot be used in any field other than music composition, because the composer should describe the movement of animals by playing music to match the animal's movements exactly. It is also because they have to play the instrument separately according to the sound source. In this study, we examined the nature documentaries broadcast by KBS over the last five years and analyzed the cases of Mickey Mousing technique. Therefore, we obtained research results that the Mickey Mousing technique is necessary and that the music composition is also necessary as a background music of nature documentaries.

COVID-19, A New World Order, Vaccine Safety, Effectiveness and Our Human Rights

This inter-disciplinary paper examines the claims in some secular and religious circles around the world that some global elite have the agenda of foisting a New World Order on the global populace and examines the louder claims, since 2020, that COVID-19 is a man-made pandemic aimed at achieving this aim. The globalists are said to be bent on fostering One World Government, One World Economy and One World Religion on the populace. COVID-19, its second or third wave, attendant lockdowns and restrictions on business activities and religious gatherings are said to be pre-mediated and orchestrated behind the scene to achieve what has since been described by the public and private sectors as “the New Normal.” The World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations, communists, desperate leftist Western politicians, billionaire investors, big pharmaceutical companies, big media organisations and compromised scientists have been fingered as the New World Order desperadoes. It is alleged that the new waves of the pandemic and the recent predictions of yet a worse pandemic by the WHO and by a prominent globalist are a confirmation that they are desperate to further pursue and achieve their New World Order aim. Such measures as lockdowns, use of facemask, COVID-19 vaccines and restrictions on business activities and religious gatherings are said to be among their tools for achieving a great reset, mind control, social conditioning and/or further damage to the physical, psychological and spiritual health of the people. Those measures as well as the still unsettled or controversial safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines are analysed in this paper vis-à-vis the relevant fundamental rights of the people. The growing trend of making the COVID-19 vaccination certificate a requisite to travel overseas or access some public places locally is also examined, more so as this is tantamount to making the COVID-19 vaccination mandatory, not necessarily by law but by policy and not necessarily directly but indirectly. This paper examines whether such measures are in harmony with such fundamental rights as the right to the grant of informed consent, right to personal dignity, right to privacy, freedom of movement and freedom of religion guaranteed by both the municipal law of the nations and the international human rights regime. With the use of indirect, circumstantial and documentary types of evidence available, the paper finds out that the alleged plot to maintain “the New Normal” and foist a New World Order is neither baseless nor unreasonable. To overcome the pandemic and beyond the vaccines which the new variants of the disease may defy, the need to allow the COVID-19 responses to wear human face and comply with human rights, use of the combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azythromycin in the early stage of the disease, exposure to sunlight and eating of certain immunity-boosting fruits and vegetables are recommended. The need for African countries to have a deliberate and purposeful homegrown strategies for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic is also recommended, especially now that it has been established that the pandemic has socio-demographic and cultural dimensions.

Книжная серия «Жизнь замечательных людей» в творческой биографии российского просветителя Я. В. Абрамова

The paper discusses the role of the ideologist of cultural movement in the reformist populism of the 1880s – 1890s, enlightener and writer Ya. V. Abramov in the context of creation of the book series “Life of remarkable people. Biographical library of F. Pavlenkovˮ. Its educational concept and democratic character are largely determined by Abramov’s social and worldview intentions — ideological inspirer of so-called “going to the people”, “going to great cultural work”, who saw the goals of such work in releasing “constrained forces and abilities of the Russian folk spirit”, supporting the “mental activity of the Russian people”, in promoting its “generation of new forms of life”. The author suggests a hypothesis, according to which the ideological genesis of the series is contained in Abramov’s short story “The Philistine Thinker” (1881), where the idea on the educational significance of the biographies of prominent people, “benefactors of mankind” was first expressed. The paper traces affinity between updating the genre of popular scientific biographies of “great people” and the educational tasks of Abramov and Pavlenkov and highlights the role of “instructive biographies” of Abramov in creating the genre type of documentary and fiction books that synthesize the qualities of “contextual biography” and “biography of the hermeneutic model”. The classic exemplarity of Abramov’s books is determined by the genre-conditioning and structure-forming function of the concept of personality; a synthesis of artistry and journalism, documentary and imagery; principles of artistic typing when working with documentary material; actualization of genre dominants (biography-life description, biography-research, biography-portrait, etc.); the poetics of narrative, objectivizing the aesthetic nature of author's subjectivity.
