- Adoption of open educational resources: An analysis of student’s perceptions(2023-08-29) Glasserman Morales, Leonardo David; Alcántar Nieblas, Carolina; George Reyes, Carlos Enrique; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, https://ror.org/00prsav78Open Educational Resources (OER) have transformed teaching practices in higher education. This study aimed to analyze means and standard deviations of adopting available educational resources by research and academic degree discipline. The second stage examines the relationship between the dimensions of adopting open educational resources (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control). A total of 358 students from five public and private universities were considered, whereas 90 of them (25.1%) were male, 266 (74.3%) were female, and 1(.3%) preferred not to identify with any of the gender options. Ages ranged from 18 to 35 years (M= 21.0 and SD = 3.0). The results show that participants from disciplines related to health sciences have higher adoption of open educational resources. They observed that students with postgraduate training presented the highest means in all dimensions associated with OER. Correlations between the factors of adopting OER were statistically significant and cheerful; the correlation value is considered moderate. In conclusion, more studies are need to be done considering the factors that can influence the adoption of OER.
- Technological ecosystems for enhancing multiculturality (TEEM)(2023-10-25) Pacheco Velazquez, Ernesto Armando; Rodés Paragarino, Virginia; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Polytechnic Institute of BragançaGame-based learning is an effective approach to developing learning skills, and simulations play a crucial role in the logistics field by providing realistic and hands-on training. This article presents the findings of a four-year study that investigated students' experiences and perceptions of a Logistics Simulator, known as LOST, used in a logistics undergraduate course for engineering education in Mexico. LOST simulated supply chain operations and aimed to enhance the development of logistical concepts and complex skills. Qualitative data was collected through open-ended questions to assess students' experiences with LOST, involving a total of 216 students across different course cohorts. The responses were analyzed using axial coding to identify the most valued elements of the game-based learning experience with the logistics simulator. The results indicate that students highly valued elements such as the Real World, Decision-Making, Theory in Practice, Learning, Knowledge, Complexity, Experimentation, and Strategies. These findings emphasize the transformative potential of game-based experiences with the simulator, offering innovative and engaging learning opportunities for educational communities, equipping students with crucial decision-making skills, and providing decision-makers with insights into the effectiveness of simulation-based approaches for enhancing learning outcomes and preparing individuals for real-world complex challenges.
- Student perception of their knowledge of Social Entrepreneurship: gender-gap and disciplinary analysis of an Ashoka Changemaker Campus in Latin America(Emerald, 2021-06-10) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Amézquita Zamora, Juan; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyDesign/methodology/approach: We evaluated the perception of knowledge about social entrepreneurship of a group of students from a university certified as Ashoka Changemaker Campus, to check if there are differences by gender and disciplinary area. The population was 140 students, to whom a validated instrument was applied. Purpose: The objective of the study was to analyze the perception of knowledge and experience development in social entrepreneurship in students of a university certified by Ashoka as a Changemaker campus, to identify data that argue for equitable training among all students regardless of gender and discipline studied. Findings: The results shed light on the few differences among students in the Business, Engineering, and Health Sciences disciplines compared to those enrolled in the Humanities and Social Sciences concerning knowledge and experience in social entrepreneurship. The findings also indicate gender equality in the perception of knowledge and experience of innovation and social entrepreneurship. Research limitations/implications: The sample size in the different disciplinary areas is a limitation of this research. However, the findings are valuable in terms of gender and the study being conducted in the first university certified as a Changemaker Campus in Latin America. Journal of Applied Research in Higher EducationPractical implications: Underlying the statistics and the hypotheses are the importance of improving students' experience and expanding their equitable opportunities to learn about and implement innovative proposals for social entrepreneurship projects. Social implications: Training in equality and inclusion contributes to an equitable and socially just society, especially when this training aims to bring new possibilities to society. This study links with those that have been conducted in other institutions, where conscious efforts have been made to reduce the gender gap or differences by disciplinary area when undertaking social entrepreneurship projects that connect sectors for social benefit. This research also argues for the need to identify the impact of other cultural elements, in addition to the knowledge provided by universities, that reduce the gap among their students. Originality/value: This study is original because of its hypotheses about university students' social entrepreneurship projects, being conducted in a special environment (Ashoka Changemaker campus) in Latin America. The data were analysed under hypothesis testing, contrasting the empirical evidence with the theoretical assumptions.
- Social Entrepreneurship Competency: An Approach by Discipline and Gender.(2020-11-19) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; García González, Abel; Ramírez Montoya, María SoledadPurpose - To analyze how university men and women in different disciplines of study in Mexico perceive social entrepreneurship competencies, using a multifactorial analysis to find possible areas of opportunity to reduce the gender gap in social-entrepreneurship-project proposals. Design/methodology/approach – This is a quantitative study with a validated questionnaire that records the perception levels of five social entrepreneurship sub-competencies. The survey, which includes 28 indicators, was applied to 140 university students from different disciplines. Hypothesis testing was applied to identify significant differences between men and women in each sub-competency by disciplinary area. Findings - In the global sample, significant differences by gender were observed only in the social value sub-competency. In the disciplinary analysis, significant differences were found in Architecture and Design, Business, and Engineering and Science. Research limitations/implications - The questionnaire only gathered data about the students' perceptions. To the extent that perception is triangulated with other instruments, it is possible to increase knowledge regarding how to train in social entrepreneurship. Practical implications - The results can be useful for university training and increasing the envisioning and formulating of government projects by young people who create new businesses. Originality/value – This research contributes to the literature on the role of gender-specific perceptions of social entrepreneurship in Mexico.
- Being an Entrepreneur Post-COVID-19- Resilience in Times of Crisis: a Systematic Literature Review(Emerald, 2020-09) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyPurpose- The COVID-19 pandemic has had an uncertain impact on the global economy, especially for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have suffered significant consequences. However, resilience has emerged as an entrepreneurial skill that allows companies to adapt and grow stronger in the face of challenges. Therefore, we conducted a literature review to identify the factors that comprise resilience to strengthen training programs for necessary entrepreneurial skills. We hope this study leads to future empirical studies that will provide more understanding and equip professionals with the skills to adapt to crises. Design/methodology/approach- A systematic literature review was performed, analyzing studies related to entrepreneurship, resilience, and crises. Thirty empirical studies were analyzed to determine the facts of the crises, the methodologies used, and the actions taken to address them. Findings- The review identified resilience factors such as attitudes adopted towards the crisis, the characteristics of the business and the entrepreneur, the relationships with institutions, human and social capital, and strategic management. These factors can be considered in training programs for resilient entrepreneurs and by the different actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, including the universities and public policymakers, who support them. Originality- This study provides a literature review that focuses on identifying the resilience factors of entrepreneurs who confronted past crises to know how to apply these in actions to overcome the current situation and contribute to post-COVID-19 entrepreneurship. We hope that the findings motivate others to conduct further empirical studies on entrepreneurship and resilience in times of crisis, especially in developing countries and emerging economies.
- Social Entrepreneurship Competency in Higher Education: An Analysis Using Mixed Methods(2020-09-26) García-González, Abel; Ramírez-Montoya, María SoledadSocial entrepreneurship is a necessary competency in higher education; however, research in this area is in its early stages. This study sought to evaluate social entrepreneurship competency and identify the factors and educational processes that promote its development. The research consisted of mixed method. The tools included a questionnaire, interviews with professors, and a focus group with students. The questionnaire did not show variation by disciplinary area, semester grade, or previous experience. The interviews and the focus group led to an analysis that described the development of the SEC as a continuous learning process around the validation of the social enterprise.
