- Comparison of perceived achievement of complex thinking competency among american, european, and asian university students(2025) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Lis Gutiérrez, Jenny Paola; Henao Rodriguez, Linda Carolina; George Reyes, Carlos Enrique; Tramon Pregnan, Claudia Lorena; Río Urenda, Susana Del; B. Chio, Ma Esther; Tariq, RasikhDespite the growing focus of educational institutions on students’ practical abilities beyond theoretical knowledge, the perception that students have of their competencies is crucial for their effective application in professional contexts. Accordingly, this paper reports a study of 435 university students attending ten universities in eight countries in the Americas (Chile, Colombia, Mexico), Asia (Pakistan and the Philippines), and Europe (Spain, Finland, and Serbia). The goal was to measure their perceptions of their achievement of complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The intention was to identify how cultural, educational, and socioeconomic differences among countries account for the variances in the students’ self-assessment of competencies, impacting their professional preparedness. The study focused on the competency of complex thinking, considering its critical importance in solving current environmental problems. The analysis employed the non-parametric Brown–Forsythe statistical test and Bonferroni correction, given the non-normality and heteroscedasticity of the data. It was found that (i) there is no statistically significant difference by gender; (ii) there are statistically significant differences in all types of thinking per country, geographical area (continent), and Human Development Index (HDI).

- Complex thinking and adopting artificial intelligence tools: a study of university students(Frontiers, 2024) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Gonzalez Gonzalez, Carina Soledad; Amézquita Zamora, Juan Alberto; Cotino Arbelo, Andrea E.; Palomino Gámez, Sergio; Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Eileen ScanlonIn the next 5 years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools are expected to become commonplace in people’s lives, especially in their work processes. Therefore, educational institutions feel intrinsically responsible for ensuring that their students acquire and develop competences associated with the appropriate use of this technology in their educational programs. However, what are the perceptions of students regarding the inclusion of artificial intelligence tools in their educational process and future careers, and what competencies can influence a greater adoption of this technology in the classroom? The objective of this article presents the results of an exploratory study in a sample population of students from a technological university in Mexico, in which their perception and openness toward the training and use of artificial intelligence tools for their professions was examined. Their perception of the development of complex thinking and its sub-competencies was evaluated, recognizing that complex thinking is a valuable cognitive skill to face changes in uncertain environments. The methodology of the study consisted of a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis using R software. The results determined a positive correlation between students’ perceived improvement in the achievement of complex thinking competence and their perception of the use of AI tools. In conclusion, participants perceived the use of these tools as a feature of their profession, although they questioned whether this knowledge is included in their professional training. This article presents several findings that offer ample opportunities for future research.
- Perception of AI tool adoption and training: initial validation using GSEM method(Emerald Publishing, 2024) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Henao Rodríguez, Carolina; Lis Gutiérrez, Jenny Paola; Palomino Gámez, Sergio; Suárez Brito, PalomaPurpose This study develops and validates the “Perception of the Adoption and Training in the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools in the Profession” instrument, designed to measure Latin American university students' attitudes and perceptions regarding AI training in their professional education across diverse fields. Design/methodology/approach The instrument was administered to 238 students from various disciplines at a Mexican university. Structural validity and reliability were assessed using a generalized structural equation model (GSEM) with quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) to handle data non-normality and analyze latent construct relationships. Findings Results show high internal consistency and validity, with strong correlations between items and constructs of “attitude” and “perception of AI training value.” The study found significant relationships between understanding AI tools and the perceived value of AI training, as well as between this perception and attitudes toward incorporating AI in professional training. Practical implications The instrument helps institutions identify student attitudes and training needs related to AI, enabling tailored curricula and training programs that foster positive AI acceptance, thus preparing students for modern technological challenges. Originality/value This study offers a validated instrument tailored to the Latin American context, addressing a gap in measuring student perceptions of AI in professional training. It serves as a diagnostic tool for educators and policymakers in designing AI-integrated pedagogical strategies that align with student needs.

- Social entrepreneurship and complex thinking competencies with an open technology platform: a gender approach(2024-11-01) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Echaniz Barrondo, Arantza; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/00ne6sr39In addition to specialized disciplinary training, cross-disciplinary skills are relevant to lifelong learning. One such skill is complex thinking, which involves integrating different reasoning to solve problems. To ensure that all students can achieve the same professional learning goals, in this paper, we present the results of an analysis of students’ perceived achievement of complex thinking competency through self-managed activities on an open education technology platform that diagnoses, develops, and evaluates social entrepreneurship competency. The research objective was to identify statistically significant gender differences in the two competencies (complex thinking and social entrepreneurship) in a group of students attending a technological university in Mexico. Methodologically, a multivariate descriptive analysis calculated arithmetic means and standard deviations, supplemented by boxplot and violin plot analyses and a scatter plot with lines of central tendency. In addition, a t-test analysis with a p-value of 90% was performed to identify the statistical significance of differences in the mean values by gender. The findings confirmed a statistically significant gender gap in the development and level attained in the students’ perceived achievement of both competencies (social entrepreneurship = 0.007 p-value; complex thinking = 0.068 p-value). Women showed the best results after using this technological platform. This study highlights the need to design technological tools for developing disciplinary and cross-disciplinary competencies from a gender perspective, to promote educational innovations that equitably ensure lifelong learning.
- Promoting scientific-technological appropriation in women through entrepreneurship(2024-12) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Palomino Gámez, Sergio; Suárez Brito, Paloma; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Instituto para el Futuro de la Educación, Tecnológico de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; University of AlicanteThe appropriation of science and technology in Mexico is indispensable to developing the economy, society, and culture. In an increasingly digitalized world, establishing a scientific culture among the population is imperative for innovation in science, technology, and the humanities. The appropriation of these engagements can be very complicated, especially in women, due to cultural, social, and economic barriers anchored in traditions that inhibit its development, notably in the scientific-technological field. This article pre-sents the results of a teaching intervention in a seminar group comprising 135 students attending a female high school in the western part of Mexico. The subject was entrepreneurship in scientific and technological fields. The study’s SciTel4C methodology employed a descriptive analysis using the Minitab tool. The study observed improvements in the students' perceptions of their entrepreneurial abilities in these domains. It found that while there was a general enhancement in the participants' perception of their scientific-technological entrepreneurial skills, as evidenced by increased mean scores and a higher density of responses, the improvements in self-perceived com-petencies were not statistically significant. This suggests that although changes were noted, they could not be confidently attributed to the interven-tion, highlighting the complexities of integrating scientific and technological knowledge into educational practices and the potential of targeted interven-tions to enhance entrepreneurial skills amidst cultural barriers.
