Quality of Training of the Communicator in Times of Pandemic

Communication media were introduced in the school to collaborate in the educational process. In the beginning, it was sought to cross the walls of the classroom to take students to the encounter of astronomical realities such as space, or the invisible to the human eyes such as cells. But, there were other educational uses of Media in the experience of Latin America. Media had been used in training peasants, miners, and grassroots organizations. They were used since the middle of the twentieth century and, after that the development of technology allowed traditional media to be present in cyberspace, to meet on the internet, facilitating the education of children and young people, as part of the infrastructure that ensures minimum quality standards in our educational systems. Today, students of Social Communication at San Marcos University are prepared to produce content for different media, because as a journalist they are going to broadcast news in print, audiovisual, and electronic environments as well as produce content for institutional materials and manage institutional communications. To prepare them for this type of Job, students during Educational Communication interact with different populations at a national level, in the remote modality of communication because of the pandemic of COVID-19, to know about their problems of communication and share with them how to solve their problems through analyzed strategies of communication.

Analysis of epistemological congruence in Final Works of Concentration UCAB Guayana

This documentary research has had 56 Final Concentration Works as references, prepared by the students of Social Communication from the UCAB (extension Guayana) in the academic periods 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, which are a requirement to qualify for the degree. An analysis of their philosophical congruence related to ontological, epistemological and methodological perspectives was performed. The dynamics were developed in several stages: first the 97 TFCs, that are stored in the University Library, were reviewed; secondly, the work was classified according to the methodology used. 56 reports were obtained under the qualitative methodology, in which the phenomenological and hermeneutic methods prevailed. The analysis carried out through a matrix developed for this purpose, showed that the lack of knowledge related to the principles and characteristics of the qualitative paradigm, this led to the approach of objectives far from the purposes of this type of research by not assessing the nature of the object of study in its just dimension. While there is coherence between the research question, the overall objective and the specific objectives, the reports, in this first part, are associated with the quantitative methodology more than the qualitative methodology. The lack of theoretical support represented for the most part by the background of the research and some basic definitions did not allow the theoretical-praxis contrast typical of this type of research. The gaps highlighted in the methodological approach leave clear evidence of a great weakness by not clarifying in detail the design of the research, presenting a procedure that did not specify how the data was obtained and how it was analyzed. As a product of the analysis carried out, it is concluded that the reports submitted do not have philosophical consistency in the absence of correspondence between the perspectives considered.

Relevancia ontológica de la formación humanística en el desarrollo profesional de los estudiantes de Comunicación Social de la Universidad de Pamplona, sede de Villa del Rosario

This qualitative research shows the ontological relevance of the humanistic component in the professional development of Social Communication students at the University of Pamplona, based in Villa del Rosario. We identified the perception of humanistic training that energizes teaching practices and learning processes; the research showed that students and teachers are linking this component to educative community interaction, more from the practical sites of the Program than from their own classes of humanities. Subsequently, we analyzed the humanistic capacities that currently need to orientate the professional development and we found out that there is sensitivity to the context, appropriation of the anthropologic elements that are transmitted by the teacher and, consequently, coherence in the pedagogical performance and social requirement. Finally, the research proposes conceptual tools to strengthen humanistic principles in professional training and development of the students, starting from input and output categories. The input category refers to the anthropological components and the output category reveals the necessity of retaking a pedagogy that transcends utilitarism and prepares not only for professional work, but also for ethics and anthropology in order to give answer to the necessity of adopting a sustainable development model.
