Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación

Esta facultad nació con la Universidad de Cuenca, el 18 de octubre de 1867. En su primera etapa se mantuvo hasta 1897 cuando se dio una nueva estructura para la casa de estudios superiores. Así, reestructurada, pero manteniendo su orientación humanística, retomó actividades en 1952, durante el rectorado de Carlos Cueva Tamariz. Para ese entonces contempló los estudios de: filosofía, historia y literatura. En 1965, junto a su núcleo original se incluye la formación pedagógica para profesionales de Educación Media y pasa a denominarse Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación. La reforma de 1975, la establece con estructura de un año de materias comunes y cuatro de especialidad. Su aporte ha sido fundamental para el desarrollo cultural y educativo de la región y el país. Desde 1978 organiza encuentros periódicos sobre literatura ecuatoriana, concursos nacionales y universitarios de poesía. Ha llevado a cabo dos encuentros sobre Filosofía y ha abierto licenciaturas en Eduación General Básica, Educación Inicial, Lingüística Andina y Educación Bilingüe; así como una licenciatura en Cine.

Learning analytics, dashboard for academic trajectory
(CEUR-WSceurws@sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de, 2019) Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio
© 2019 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. In the context of university academic management, several proposals have been developed for the study of analysis and visualization of learning trajectories. Bearing in mind that the educational trajectory is the trajectory of the student traveled at a given time from entry to the end of the stay, it can be considered that the use of technology could extract or highlight relevant information that is not seen directly with the tools traditional The visualization of data in educational environments has become a challenge due to the large amounts of information available. The responsibilities of educational administrators require a clear visual proposal adapted to queries based on an academic context. Therefore, it was proposed to generate a tool that generates dashboard based on relevant variables of the students. To do this, the proposal began with a review of the literature that helped analyze the different ways of visualizing the data of academic trajectories. Subsequently, a dynamic visualization was formulated to explain the teachers and authorities through the learning analysis panel, based on the use of parallel coordinates that present multidimensional data over time. The sample was constituted by records of 1975 students of an Ecuadorian university, of the cohort that began in March 2013, distributed by faculties and careers. The technique used allowed us to discover trends and relationships between dimensions, improving the understanding of the trajectory patterns of students, the trends of school dropout, either increase or decrease performance, among other relationships. The consultations allowed to filter data by variables such as: faculties, careers, students and intervals of scores. Finally, the validation of the proposal was made based on the relevance of the dashboard, in response to the inquiries of the academic manager.
Metodological proposal for trajectory analysis. Case study
(Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL), Ecuador, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile, 2018) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Larriva González, Silvana Fabiola
For university academic management in general, it is always important to clear-ly know the average time a student needs to complete the credits established in the curriculum. There are several methods to capture academic information and most of them are based on qualification records, access to virtual platforms, as-sistance, etc. Based on the architecture of learning analysis proposed by the au-thors, we specifically worked on a methodology that would allow measuring the academic trajectory using variables such as: number of credits per semester, grades, approvals and number of enrollments. Information from a 2013 cohort of two university careers was used as a reference. The result of the methodolo-gy allowed graphing the behavior and generating a detailed analysis of the aca-demic trajectory. The methodological proposal can be generalized for other ca-reers provided that the analysis of the results is contextualized to the behavior of the nature of the training area.
Causas de deserción en el ingreso a la universidad; un estudio de caso
(2017) Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Larriva Gonzalez, Silvana Fabiola
This research analyzes the causes of desertion that are generated in the development of the leveling course prior to the entry into the first year of the faculties of the technical area of University of Cuenca. Studies show that dropout is a global problem that occurs especially in university admission, cause of waste of time and resources to student and institution. It is important to identify main causes of desertion so that decisions can be taken and actions implemented to reduce dropout rates. For this, the student’s socioeconomic records were analyzed; math tests were applied at the beginning and end of the course; a survey at the beginning of the leveling course and another at the end of the course; also, a survey was carried out on a sample of students who dropped out of leveling, and desertion rates were analyzed for students in the technical area. Results suggest some causes of desertion, such as lack of bases in mathematics, not to enter the career of their preference, high academic requirements in technical careers, a complex evaluation system, lack of economic resources, among other reasons for the desertion. It emphasizes the coincidence of the causes of desertion with other studies, and the concern of the institutions to reduce the rates of desertion.
Gráficas de trayectorias escolares de estudiantes de bachillerato
(2021) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Bojorque Pazmiño, Miriam Eliana
For school authorities it is important to know how the students of the institution are progressing in their studies, because in this way they can detect any type of difficulties that arise, however, that information is not always known in time. The objective of this research is to propose a methodology that allows to visualize school trajectories of the students and in this way identify the difficulties that students have in mathematics. To show the potential of the methodology, high school students from an Ecuadorian educational institution were investigated between 2015 and 2019, their grades were processed and graphs of school trajectories were generated, which present the evolution of their grades during the school period. Through this methodology, the identification of individual trajectories of low performance is facilitated, in addition, it was found that collaborative activities have higher scores than individual ones, performance differences between courses were also evidenced. The presentation of grades through graphs is a powerful tool for academic management since it facilitates the detection of difficulties and the making of timely decisions.
Importancia del currículo, texto y docente en la clase de matemática
(2020) Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio
The curricular adjustment carried out in Ecuador in 2016 responds to the constructivist paradigm, the texts that guide the mathematics teacher proposed by the Ministry of Education are also developed according to that vision, and therefore, the teacher should develop an active and reflective class, supported by a series of resources proposed in the curricular adjustment. Education must have all its elements well harmonized so that the student has the appropriate learning results; the objective is to analyze the relationship between three elements: curriculum design, guide text and the teacher. The documentary review methodology is applied to analyze how the curricular adjustment idealizes the relationship between these elements, and then what is the reality. In practice there are some difficulties, one of these is the texts bring excessive amounts of content to be developed, which forces the teacher to “give” classes, without making sure of the students’ learning achievement. Also, the reform has not been sufficiently disseminated to teachers, who still develop their classes in a traditional way, emphasizing the memorization of content and mechanical recipes to solve the exercises.
Recursos tecnológicos para la enseñanza de geometría descriptiva
(2022) Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Chávez Maldonado, Estefanía Maribel; Oyervide Jumbo, Verónica Nathaly
The use of technological resources is important in descriptive geometry classes, since it is difficult to explain three-dimensional figures on a blackboard that is a plane. In this sense, the objective of this study was to develop descriptive geometry classes with the use of a software simulator and to evaluate the results of the incorporation of this resource. For this purpose, two classes were designed using the GeoEnZo simulator software and plastic education as support for the class. Then, a survey was made to 39 students of a university degree in mathematics education about the use of the simulator software for descriptive geometry classes. The students indicated that their college teachers used the blackboard and the geometric game to develop the classes, and they worked on sheets of paper. Meanwhile, in the classes where the simulator software was used, the teacher’s explanation was much better in relation to understanding the topics and learning descriptive geometry. In addition, they indicated that the software simulator allowed them to solve and draw more quickly, and that it improved the presentation of their drawings. As part of the conclusions, it is determined that the use of technological resources in the classroom helps to improve the students’ spatial understanding, and therefore, to achieve quality learning.
Las nuevas clases de geometría
(2019) Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio
Traditionally, geometry classes have been difficult, but when these classes are developed mechanically and memoristically, they become even more complex. Teachers who develop theoretical, abstract and difficult to understand topics, which are not related to any practical application and are of little interest, do not contribute to solving this problem. There are new currents of thought that are changing the relationship between teachers and students in the classroom, the teacher designs and applies activities so that the student develops his learning and goes from being a passive receiver to have an active role in the classroom. The action research methodology was used for the theoretical analysis of traditional classes and new geometry class proposals. This article aims to describe an experience with students of the teacher training career in Mathematics and Physics, where creative classes of triangles are developed, with novel themes that describe part of Ecuadorian history, technological resources are used that facilitate understanding and the context problems that are analyzed give practical meaning to geometry and encourage research.
Trayectoria académica de estudiantes universitarios
(2020) Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio
Although the careers have a curriculum planning, in practice the student takes some additional time to complete his program. In some careers, this delay can be excessive, implying delays and the loss of resources for the student and the institution. This research was carried out with a cohort that began in March 2013 and ended in July 2018, with the aim of longitudinally analyzing the academic progress of the students, and evidencing the gap between the ideal progress and the real progress in each period, and Thus, to define optimization policies for educational management. A faculty was found where its students took 46.6% more than the ideal term; Additionally, those students, whose parents are professionals or who hold high positions, have academic progress that is statistically superior to others.
Reprobación y abandono de estudiantes universitarios
(2020) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio
Studies show that in higher education institutions, students experience difficulties during the course of their studies, failing some subjects and in other cases, withdrawing from university. Knowing this reality can lead the authorities to make academic decisions to face this problem and improve terminal efficiency, which is an important indicator for institutional accreditation. The objective of this study was to determine the failure and dropout rates of the students of the different faculties, and at what point in the studies these rates are higher. The research was carried out on 1900 students from the University of Cuenca, Ecuador, a cohort that began their studies in March 2013, and a longitudinal follow-up was carried out until July 2018, using the documentary research technique, for which the academic databases owned by the university. It was found that both repetition and dropout rates are higher in the first semesters of study in all faculties, and that Medical Sciences and Architecture have low rates of loss of subjects and dropout of their students, while some faculties from the Social Sciences area they have high rates of failure and desertion. It is important to know these indicators for each faculty and at all times in the students' trajectory, so that the authorities make decisions that allow improving the academic offer.
Nueva propuesta para realizar una planificación microcurricular en el área de matemáticas
(2018) Trelles Zambrano, César Augusto; Barrazueta Samaniego, Juan Fernando; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio
An important part of the teaching- learning process is the planning. It helps teachers to guide their students due to the educator is able to identify the objectives, skills and evaluation criteria which were proposed in the curriculum and will be addressed according to the subject studied. In addition, the planning shows the best methodological strategies that will be applied, the resources that will be used during the performance of the topic, and the indicators for the performance criteria; it means, the aspects that allow to identify if the students acquired the minimum knowledge that are required and the techniques or instruments to be used in order to evaluate the new knowledge. In the methodological strategies or learning activities space is where five interesting strategies are suggested which have improved the results in the teachinglearning process of the mathematic. These strategies are: the relation, experimentation, application, cooperation and the transference, all of them known as REACT. The implementation of all these strategies in a planning makes the difference between a traditional and constructivist class, being the last one which have the best results in the mathematical education.
