ChatGPT and the academic writing among university students from Lambayeque

JAVIER ALONSO ARBULÚ VÁSQUEZ — 2025-07-04

This research was developed in response to the growing use of artificial intelligence-based technology in contrast to the lack of writing skills among students beginning their university studies. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out, including first-cycle students from any academic program and any university in the Lambayeque region. The methodology used was quantitative, with a non-experimental design. The technique employed was a survey, and the data collection instrument was the «Questionnaire to describe the use of ChatGPT in academic writing by university students» was used. It was found that students do use ChatGPT in academic writing, mainly due to the speed with which the tool generates precise and relevant content.

However, they also pointed out disadvantages such as the risk of plagiarism and the need for constant verification. It was concluded that students perceive ChatGPT positively for its speed in generating content, and that the main disadvantages are the risks of plagiarism, dependency, and the need to constantly verify the information provided.

New conception of the symbol: Charles Peirce's habit perspective in the semiotic analysis of culture in peruvian society

Edward Faustino Loayza-Maturrano — 2025-07-04

A semiotic perspective that reconsiders the relationships between symbols, their mediation with language, and their nature is currently of interest in science. The aim of this study was to examine how symbolic mediation occurs by employing the epistemology of concepts as an analytical strategy. The design was a systematic scoping review based on, on the one hand, Charles Peirce's semiotic theory and, on the other hand, a discourse analysis through the conceptual parameterization of a symbolic corpus extracted from the cultural context of Peruvian society. The analysis relied on the concept of habit from Peircean semiotics to overcome traditional views on symbolization and thus explore the applicability of symbols in different
encoding systems. The results rejected the dominant concept of symbolic arbitrariness, as it was determined that symbols in contemporary Peruvian society depend on habitual use to establish connections between meanings and signifiers. Furthermore, parameterization was proposed as a classification method for linguistic and non-linguistic systems, opening a new horizon for future research in this area. The conclusion emphasized the indispensable role of culture in shaping types of communicative mediation, all of which deepens our understanding of the interaction between language, culture, and symbolism, and proposes a new conception of the symbol.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Teachers’ Job Satisfaction: Cognition, Ability, and Ethics in the Digital age.

Pablo Cavero López — 2025-07-04

The integration of artificial intelligence in education generates both enthusiasm and concern, particularly regarding ethics, biases, and academic integrity. This study examines how factors such as cognition, ability, vision, ethics, perceived threats, and innovation influence teachers’ job satisfaction when incorporating AI into their classrooms. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to 51 teachers from several educational levels, analyzing their perceptions and competences regarding these technologies.

The results reveal a predominantly positive assessment of AI, especially for its ability to improve teaching practice and to increase job satisfaction. Nevertheless, weaknesses were identified regarding the technical handling of AI, particularly in the ability dimension, highlighting the need for a stronger training. Furthermore, it was observed that cognition impacts teachers’ ethics and vision, and that the perception of innovation is positively associated with job satisfaction.

Likewise threats such as technological dependence or loss of critical thinking are acknowledged, although they do not significantly diminish teachers’ positive evaluation of AI. This study provides empirical evidence on the relationships between cognitive and emotional factors in teachers’ adoption of AI.

La Innovación pedagógica e inclusión social en Instituciones Educativas

Karla Sebastiana Paucar Montoya — 2025-07-02

Disparity in the poorest communities poses representative educational challenges, highlighting the need to ensure access, contribution and success for all students. In this context, pedagogical innovation emerges as a key strategy to foster social inclusion. This systematic review, based on the PRISMA method, analyzed 35 studies published between 2019 and 2024, selected from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and SciELO. The results show a significant relationship between innovative pedagogical practices and social inclusion. Strategies such as project-based learning, collaborative learning and the use of educational technologies stand out for effectively addressing diversity in the classroom. However, the success of these methodologies depends on adequate teacher training to generate equitable environments adapted to the needs of each student. Even so, greater institutional and governmental support is required to implement these practices in a sustainable and large-scale manner.

Conceptual review and teaching experiences on the use of active-participatory methodologies for critical thinking development in Higher Education

Natalia González-Fernández — 2025-07-04

This study analyses the actual status in the national (Spain) and international literature about “Active and Participative Methods” (MAP), and “Critical Thinking” (PC) development, two fundamental concepts on Higher Education (ES). Furthermore, a systematic review of the recent national experiences that focus on the impact of MAP in PC development in ES is carried out. This paper emerges as a consequence of the actual lack of consensus about the conceptualization of these terms, due to the dispersion of the information available in the literature, and due to the lack of agreement amongst the authors about MAP influence in PC development. A bibliographic search in 2 national and 4 international databases was carried out. The paper selection criteria were based on the paper contribution to a system of categories and subcategories
specifically designed for the revision. Revision results allowed to construct a one-paper compilation of the basic aspects and characteristics of MAP, and PC, while simultaneously reviewing the latest national publications that analyze the relationships between both concepts.

La Competencias investigativas en estudiantes de Educación Superior

Cristian Alonso Percial Carranza — 2025-07-04

This study is part of a systematic review of research competencies in Higher Education students. The objective of the study is to analyze the existing scientific production on research competencies in Higher Education students during the last five years. In its methodology, the qualitative approach was considered, interpretive paradigm, documentary type, with a systematic review design and analytical descriptive scope. For this, electronic documents from indexed databases such as Scopus, Latindex and SciELO were used, also considering the Boolean operators “And, Or, Not”. A sample of 10 full-text and original articles, written in English and Spanish, was selected; which were analyzed to obtain relevant information. It was concluded that, of the ten scientific productions analyzed, the importance of developing research skills in higher education students is emphasized and the need to cultivate these skills from the first stages of academic training is highlighted.
