Solutions to Enable the Use of TIC in Education in Regions with Low Internet Connectivity: a Literature Review

Older adults and digital skills

Background:New technologies have many benefits for the quality of life of older people, but their use also carries risks and can transforms older people in potential victims of cyber-attacks. The increase of ICT use has caused many older adults to be displaced from these social advances, resulting in greater isolation, negative feelings related to ICTs and less access to services.Due to the absence of extensive and generalisable studies in this area with this population, we consider it necessary to analyse older people's behaviour in relation to ICT and the psychosocial variables that are related to their adaptation.Objective:To determine the effect of different psychosocial variables that may be related to the adaptation to TIC and protection measures used in cyberspace in older adults.Method:We have used a mixed research methodology: Firstly, a quantitative pilot study, analysing the variables descriptively; secondly, using qualitative interviews and an exploratory analysis. The next step is to design and validate a questionnaire that will include the 4 factors that we found relevant: victimisation, use of new technologies, fear of cybercrime and use of online protection barriers.Preliminary results on the ongoing study:The 84% of the sample uses ICT more than one hour per day and 77%, had not received training in TIC and their perception of online vulnerability is low. The need for social support for the management of these tools was observed. Older people who use ICT less are those who are not digitally literate, perceive themselves as more vulnerable in their use of ICTs and have no one to help them with these tools.Conclusion:The identification of variables related to the use of TIC, the perception of vulnerability and the online protection of older adults is fundamental for the development of effective interventions. It would be desirable not only to offer them training in digitalisation but also to provide them with the social support they demand.

Innovation and digital transformation index in the use of information and communication technologies in the management of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the city of Xalapa, state of Veracruz of Mexico

The general objective of the research is to identify the rate of innovation and digital transformation that Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MIPYMES) currently have with the use of information and communication technologies TIC´s). We believe that after what happened to all organizations and companies with the COVID19 pandemic and the return to a new reality of organizing, operating, managing and directing companies, it is necessary for the personnel of the different hierarchical levels to get involved. with the use and mastery of information and communication technologies. The following questions help us to establish our hypothesis: Does the use of TIC´s in the organization influence decision-making at the management level? Is the age of the managers or owners of MYPYMES related to the use of TIC´s in the organization? Our study has a quantitative and qualitative approach; we will look at various pertinent data on variables and contexts in the study. For all of the above, we are interested in carrying out this research on MYPYMES since they represent a high impact on the economy of the city and if there is any relationship between innovation and business well-being.

E-Government and its Development in the Region: Challenges

Objective: This article, of a theoretical nature, was oriented to the contextual analysis referred to digital government, its origin, aspects, and trends; mainly, the way in which it was implemented and developed in some Latin American countries was emphasized, in addition to the reflections on the implications related to digital government in the current situation, as well as the challenges it has been facing and future challenges. Theoretical framework: The universe of more contemporary aspects regarding electronic government was explored from the perspective of state management, as well as the foundations on which it has been consolidating and the changes it has undergone and at the same time generated in its wide spectrum of applications. Design/Methodology/Approach: A descriptive systematic review has been implemented with the collection of various definitions, approaches and strategies in relation to electronic government. Based on the qualitative approach, the analysis and extraction of various articles with relevant information from various databases such as Scopus, Ebsco, ProQuest and Scielo was carried out; taking into account those of the last four years. Findings: The acceptance of electronic government processes was based on the characteristics of citizens and their attitude towards technology; public bodies continue to show a series of problems, among which a marked inability to resolve the duties effectively and efficiently in charge despite having the appropriate technological tools and implements stands out. Research, practical and social implications: Future efforts that seek not only electronic government, but also a scaffolding that supports the development of administration processes through TIC and new platforms based on artificial intelligence. Implications/Originality/Value: The real implementation of an electronic government requires, urges and forces cultural changes in society due to the use of TIC and cutting-edge technological resources.

COMPLEMENTARITY OF TIC AND CORPORATE CULTURE IN THE QUEST FOR PERFORMANCE

Corporate culture has recently aroused a great deal of interest and debate in several fields, particularly in business management. Imbued with a rigid and static conception of culture, studies have long excluded any impact of TIC on this variable. The presumed relationship between culture, TIC use and performance was a one-way street. Today, a very different image of culture represents it as an open and dynamic system; susceptible to change as a result of TIC adoption. It is in this perspective that this study aims to analyze the complementarity of corporate culture and TIC in the quest for performance. The problematic that arises is to know how the use of TIC acts on the corporate culture in the search for performance. Based on the hypothesis that the adaptation of the corporate culture to the evolution of TIC leads to performance. The analysis of the results of a survey by opinion poll near a sample of 580 Malagasy companies made it possible to affirm that the use of TIC can be adjusted to the corporate culture because a communication of the culture via TIC can lead to better performances.

La equidad de género en la educación intercultural del nivel superior: una mirada hacia el respeto de los derechos humanos de las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes

El presente artículo aborda el tema de la equidad de género desde una mirada del respeto a los derechos humanos de las personas que pertenecen a la comunidad educativa intercultural del nivel superior. A través de una revisión bibliográfica de diferentes estudios escritos sobre el tema, se toma como referencia la colonialidad del poder desde la interseccionalidad raza/género de María Lugones con el fin de poder explicar el por qué históricamente se dan las diferentes formas de exclusión, discriminación e inequidad hacia las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes.
 Este trabajo evidencia la brecha que existe entre el acceso, la permanencia y el egreso en las Instituciones del Nivel Superior de indígenas y afrodescendientes, e igualmente, explica las situaciones de desventaja en cuanto a la pertinencia y estrategias pedagógicas, como también el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información (TICs) en los diferentes espacios educativos en los lugares de origen. También se asienta una mirada crítica ante las desigualdades en los espacios educativos del nivel superior para así exigir la creación de políticas educativas que tengan como prioridad asegurar la profesionalización.

Diretrizes para a formação de professores no trabalho com a leitura: dos PCN à BNCC

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar, contrastivamente, as diretrizes apresentadas pelos PCN - Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (BRASIL, 1998) e a proposição da BNCC - Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2017) acerca do trabalho com a prática de leitura. Ambos os documentos abordam o trabalho com múltiplas linguagens: os PCN tratam de modo sucinto do uso de tecnologias, evidenciando o uso do computador, do rádio e da televisão. Já a BNCC detalha, em diferentes habilidades, a necessidade do trabalho com imagens, sons e diferentes linguagens digitais. Assim, pode-se inferir que a distância temporal entre as diretrizes para a educação nacional permitiu que o enfoque voltado aos multiletramentos se ampliasse, considerando a diversidade decorrente do uso das TIC no cotidiano. Esse avanço traz demandas formativas, uma vez que o trabalho com as multissemioses exige a exploração de diferentes gêneros discursivos, diferentes competências e habilidades leitoras e novos percursos metodológicos.

Hábitos en el uso de las TIC para el desarrollo de nuevos escenarios de aprendizaje

Uno de los factores decisivos en la incorporación de las TIC para la creación de nuevos escenarios de aprendizaje en el ámbito educativo es la figura del profesor, y en este sentido, su adecuada competencia digital resulta decisiva. De acuerdo con la necesidad de incluir ya desde la formación inicial docente una adecuada formación en TIC que responda a las exigencias de la sociedad actual, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo general conocer la autosuficiencia de los estudiantes de los Grados de Maestro para el uso de las TIC. Siguiendo una metodología cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva a partir de un cuestionario diseñado ad hoc, los participantes en la investigación fueron 327 estudiantes de los Grados de Maestro de la Universidad de Alicante, seleccionados mediante una técnica de muestreo no probabilístico accidental y, por tanto, no aleatoria. Los resultados obtenidos en relación a los hábitos en la utilización de las TIC muestran que el 50,6% usan más de 30 horas a la semana los recursos TIC y que los principales usos son para comunicarse y para acceder a la información. Por otro lado, el dispositivo TIC más utilizado es el móvil, seguidor del ordenador. Se constata la conveniencia de una mayor formación que complemente la formación no reglada de los estudiantes de los Grados de Maestro para una efectiva aplicación de la TIC en el ámbito educativo.
