Fashion and sustainable consumption

Maricsa Jerkovic, Rubén Darío Collantes-González — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

When people allow themselves to purchase clothing and fashion accessories, in many cases they are unaware of what goes into making them, such as poaching, animal abuse, smuggling of exotic species, environmental pollution, labor overexploitation, to name a few. The aim of this work was to develop a systematic review on how fashion can be compatible with sustainable consumption. To do this, 40 references related to the topic were consulted and selected for their relevance. It has been found that some recognized companies in the industry are committed to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), employing local talent in decent working conditions, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental pollutants, using alternative materials as substitutes for exotic skins. In conclusion, it is possible to consume fashion items responsibly and contribute to the sustainability of the industry and ecosystems.

Fun math, exploring why it should not be seen as boring

Lorenzo Caballero Vigil — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

It doesn´t take much argument to show that, for the most part, students don´t like Mathematics even a little; bit; which influences and predisposes, negatively, towards any activity that is developed in this subject. This forces every good teacher to use different strategies that allow him to have the student present, body and mind, in the classroom. One option to achieve this goal is the incorporation of games, either directly designed to support Mathematics classes or adaptes for that purpose. That is why, in this article, we present the results of a documentary investigation in which we define what is called a game in Mathematics, the importance and benefits of incorporating games in the mathematics class and three game are suggested to reinforce the addition and subtraction of integers and the concepts of multiple and divisors of a number. All this to contribute to the eradication of the predisposition that students have towards Mathematics and demonstrate thar Mathematics can be learned in a fun way.

Ecological marketing in recycling education

Yermaline E. Ching-Ruíz — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Green marketing has an important role to play in promoting recycling and environmental education. This article highlights how green marketing strategies, including awareness campaigns, eco-labelling and community projects, have transformed consumer perception and behaviour towards more sustainable practices. In addition, it explores technological innovations, such as the use of mobile applications and social media, which have modernised the way sustainability messages are communicated. It also addresses the impact of green marketing on the formulation of public policies that favour recycling and the integration of these practices in the management of corporate social responsibility. The study was developed using a qualitative, documentary approach, focusing on a review and analysis of documents on green marketing and its impact on recycling education. It concludes that as green marketing continues to evolve, its ability to influence consumer behaviour and environmental policies will be key to building a more sustainable and responsible future.

The magic of children's stories

This article explores the main teaching strategies for teaching children's stories, with the aim of identifying effective approaches that promote comprehensive learning in various educational contexts. Through a qualitative literature review of 35 major studies published in the last 10 years, methods such as collaborative storytelling, dramatization, the use of technology and reading aloud were analyzed. The results highlight that collaborative storytelling and dramatization foster creativity, teamwork, and the development of social and emotional skills. The use of technologies such as e-books expands learning opportunities but requires adequate teacher training to avoid distractions. Likewise, reading aloud remains a fundamental strategy for modeling reading comprehension. In conclusion, flexibility and adaptation of these strategies to the needs of students are essential to maximize their effectiveness. It is crucial to balance the use of technology with human interaction and promote collaborative and reflective environments in the classroom.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are important in the training of university teachers to provide them with skills, knowledge and tools necessary in the educational context, in addition to facilitating the adoption of innovative teaching methods, which allows technology to be effectively integrated into teaching practice. This is a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive research with the intention of finding out the relevance of ICT for students entering the teaching profession in diversified secondary education, highlighting the mastery, the importance for the academic process and the willingness to be trained to improve competences in this context. The main findings include a significant mastery of ICT for academic activities, lack of access to resources, use of tools and applications adapted to the teaching-learning process and, above all, a willingness to be trained in training programmes that enable the acquisition of competences in this context. It is concluded that trainee teachers recognize that ICT are necessary for efficiency in the educational sphere and, therefore, there is a willingness to be trained in technological tools and resources for the benefit of the academic process.

Scientific production in South America

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Latin America is an emerging region worldwide in multiple aspects and scientific production could not be the exception. For this reason, the objective of this study was to describe the evaluation of scientific production in South America, using Scimago data. The methodology was a retrospective and descriptive bibliometric study, which was enriched with a systematic review of the literature. It was necessary to access academic information in Latindex, SciELO and Scopus databases, and official web pages were consulted to obtain reliable data such as the number of journals and investment trends in the countries. The results showed a significant growth in scientific production in the region, reflected in the increase in the number of publications and the diversification of research areas. This growth is particularly notable in countries such as Brazil, Chile and Argentina, which have substantially increased their scientific contributions in recent years. The research concludes that, in the region, the country with the highest number of publications is Brazil, followed by Chile and Argentina. There is also evidence of a worrying lack of publications in Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname. In addition, there is a close relationship between the Gross Domestic Product invested to promote Research and Development (R&D); Brazil is the country with the highest investment, as shown in the data obtained.
