TRANSFORMATION OF READING COMPREHENSION THROUGH ICT: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Germán José Ojeda Pacheco — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study addresses the transformation of reading comprehension through ICT, highlighting innovation and students' interaction with texts. The objective is to carry out a critical analysis of said transformation, highlighting advantages and disadvantages. The PRISMA method was used for systematic reviews, selecting 23 studies between 2019 and 2024 from the SciELO, Scopus and Dialnet databases, which analyze pedagogical and technological strategies in primary and secondary schools. The findings indicate that ICT facilitates the personalization of learning and interactive pedagogical practices with multimedia resources; Barriers remain, such as limited access to technology and the need for ongoing training for teachers. In conclusion, although ICTs offer opportunities to improve reading comprehension, it is vital to properly integrate them into the educational curriculum and guarantee an investment in infrastructure and training, so that these tools promote inclusive learning and do not widen educational inequalities.

Alice Paola Sánchez Carrizo — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The community of dialogue as a didactic strategy offers theoretical and practical foundations within educational practice. This study aims to present the community of dialogue as a didactic strategy for children's philosophy, following Lipman's approach. Methodologically, it is a qualitative study, employing the hermeneutic method and an exploratory-bibliographical approach, as it interprets dialogic development in children. A literature review was conducted, focusing on five scientific articles that address the central topic. Through the analysis of these documents, elements were identified that strengthen the conceptual basis of the work and also guide the didactic proposal from a critical and reflective perspective. The main finding is the generation of a bibliographic analysis based on the information sources and the offering of a proposal on the community of dialogue as a didactic strategy, developing creative, reflective, innovative, and democratic thinking skills in students through the guidelines proposed by Lipman.

ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OF AN AMATEUR CYCLIST THROUGH THE ASTRAND TEST: IMPACT ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT SATISFACTION IN A GRADUATE PROGRAM

This study, conducted as part of the Biochemistry Laboratory course in the Master's in Exercise Physiology (Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador, Instituto Pedagógico de Caracas), evaluated the functional capacity of an amateur cyclist using the Astrand test and its impact on students' satisfaction with academic achievement. Designed and carried out with scientific rigor by the four students in the cohort under faculty guidance, the protocol adapted a road bike with a smart roller as a cycle ergometer. The results showed the effectiveness of the test: heart rate had a linear relationship with exercise intensity (r=0.99), lactate was associated with relative effort, and the athlete's functional capacity was determined. The experience generated a high level of academic satisfaction in cognitive, emotional, practical, and evaluative dimensions, so it is recommended to replicate this type of research in graduate programs.
