Latin American cultural expressions as a didactic learning methodology with different students: a literature review

Orlando Emilio Sanabria Borhorquez , Maria Ilenia Diaz Caicedo — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this text is to address an investigation into the use of Latin American cultural expressions as a didactic learning methodology in students of different educational levels using the method of collecting relevant information through investigative articles and academic journals. During the research process, 50 texts were examined, of which 40 were selected as the main source of information on the methods used in the classroom to diversify classes and consider different cultural expressions such as music, art, and dance, in order to use them as methodological tools in the classroom. The research found that some cultural traits expressed in different Latin American communities offer a wide range of opportunities to celebrate diversity and promote cultural inclusion in the classroom. Various teaching methodologies can be used, such as experiential learning through music, visual arts, and literature.

The learning objectives that can be achieved by teaching the expressions expressed by various communities throughout Latin America are numerous, as they include the development of autonomous knowledge, respect for others, the ability to analyze cultural influence, and the application of different expressions such as music or literature in the educational context.

Learning assessments can also be varied, including participation in activities, project development, and formative assessment. It is important that evaluations are adapted to different contexts and audiences, taking into account the age, educational level, and cultural context of the students.

The research concludes that music, dance, and literature as Latin American cultural expressions can be a valuable tool to enhance student learning. Future researchers are recommended to focus on the application of innovative methods and the generation of resources that can motivate educators to transform the classroom with more inclusive classes.

This article aims to promote environmental education in Cuban primary schools as an essential tool to face climate change. A descriptive and exploratory study was carried out at the Juan Ramón Ochoa Núñez primary school in Las Tunas, using surveys and interviews with students and teachers to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes towards climate change. The results revealed that, although there is a basic awareness of climate change, there is a significant need to integrate environmental education more deeply into the school curriculum. The conclusions of the study highlight the importance of comprehensive environmental education from an early age to promote responsible citizenship committed to sustainability. The implementation of specific educational programs and continuous training of teachers on environmental issues is recommended to improve the effectiveness of teaching about climate change.

Primary teacher professional training faces significant challenges due to the rapid evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The purpose of this article is to develop a productive alternative that integrates and systematizes various technological mediations in the professional training of primary teachers, so as to resolve as a research problem, the insufficiencies in the professional training of primary teachers, in relation to the use of ICT, which limit the integration and systematization of technological mediations. To do this, pedagogical research methods and techniques were applied, including document review, class observation, interviews and surveys. The results show an improvement in students' grades and skills when interacting with technological tools, as well as an increase in their participation during training activities. This has allowed us to reach conclusions that the proposal for integration and systematization of various technological mediations in the training of primary teachers in higher education provided a structured framework that facilitated the acquisition and application of skills and knowledge to develop their teaching practices.

A methodology based on reference pedagogical contexts for teaching didactic planning to pre-service teachers

Michel Enrique Gamboa Graus, Regla Ywalkis Borrero Springer — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Initial training for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) teachers for Basic Secondary Education needs to overcome the limitations of traditional didactic planning, which is often decontextualized and rigid. This article presents and substantiates an innovative methodology designed to transform the teaching of didactic planning in pedagogical schools. The proposal centers on the use of 'reference pedagogical contexts,' defined as detailed representations of real teaching-learning situations, serving as a basis for analysis, reflection, and adaptation of teaching practice. Theoretically grounded in situated learning, pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), and reflective practice, the methodology is implemented through Case-Based Teaching (CBT), complemented by a specific procedure: 'Didactic Planning by Reference Contexts,' structured into stages of contextual analysis, design, and implementation/contextual reflection. The research, employing a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design with 60 pre-service teachers, demonstrated a positive and significant impact (p < 0.05) on the development of didactic coherence in the experimental group. Qualitatively, improvements were observed in the ability to contextualize teaching, design relevant strategies, and engage in critical reflection. Expert validation confirmed its theoretical soundness, coherence, innovative potential, and applicability. This methodology offers a systemic, contextualized, and flexible alternative for training more competent PCM teachers prepared to promote quality science education.

Social inclusion and diversity from a gender perspective in the preparation of executives

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The results presented here are part of the Governance Project and constitute one of the activities to be carried out as a doctoral thesis for the Doctoral Program in Educational Sciences. The preparation of executives in Cuba is essential for the comprehensive development of leaders who manage quality processes. This process has been characterized by the hyperbolization of legal, economic, and ideological-political content, making it necessary to highlight novel topics such as social inclusion, social diversity, and gender perspective. The purpose of this work is to make visible and offer a different perspective on the executive preparation process by defining social inclusion as a content. The conceptual categories of gender, gender perspective, and preparation process are assessed. Using the participatory action research method, with its procedures of research diary, participant observation, and information triangulation, it is argued that social inclusion is a content that, when associated with social diversity and gender perspective, allows for the transformation of learning.

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Studies aimed at preventing and mitigating the consequences of climate change and its causes, among them, the construction of civil works from concepts that affect sustainability in development, have been insufficient from the discipline of Defense Preparation, which distinguishes between the categories that are objects of study, the dangers, threats and vulnerabilities to International, Regional and Caribbean Security. This basic training discipline, along with others, forms the Study Plan of the Civil Engineering career at the University of Camagüey Ignacio Agramonte. From the observation of the extra-teaching activities of the educational teaching process of the Civil Engineering career, the review of the educational projects or strategies of years, the survey of teachers and students of the career, interviews with the staff who advise students in training in job positions during pre-professional practices, as well as participation in the methodological activities of the discipline and year groups, it is assumed as a research problem: How to contribute to environmental education in the training of the Civil Engineer in the Educational Teaching Process of the Discipline Preparation for Defense (PPD)? The above leads to addressing the problem from epistemological conceptions to reveal its essence and correspondence with the professional model of the Civil Engineering career, which allows incorporating environmental content into study plans and programs.
