Problems with mathematics learning, "math anxiety" or "statistics anxiety" among university students can be avoided by using teaching strategies and technological tools. Besides personal suffering, low achievement in mathematics reduces terminal efficiency and decreases enrollment in careers related to science, technology and mathematics. This paper has two main goals: 1) to offer an organized inventory of open access web resources for math learning in higher education, and 2) to explore to what extent these resources are currently known and used by students and teachers. The first goal was accomplished by running a search in Google and then classifying resources. For the second, we conducted a survey among a sample of students (n=487) and teachers (n=60) from mathematics and engineering within the largest public university in Mexico. We categorized 15 high-quality web resources. Most of them are interactive simulations and computer algebra systems. ResumenLos problemas en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas, como "ansiedad matemática" y "ansiedad estadística" pueden evitarse si se usan estrategias de enseñanza y herramientas tecnológicas. Además de un sufrimiento personal, el bajo rendimiento en matemáticas reduce la eficiencia terminal y decrementa la matrícula en carreras relacionadas con ciencia, tecnología y matemáticas. Este artículo tiene dos objetivos: 1) ofrecer un inventario organizado de recursos web de acceso abierto para aprender matemáticas en la universidad, y 2) explorar en qué medida estos recursos se usan actualmente entre alumnos y profesores. El primer objetivo se logró con un perfil de búsqueda en Google y una clasificación. Para el segundo, se condujo una encuesta en una muestra de estudiantes (n=487) y maestros (n=60) de matemáticas e ingeniería de la universidad más grande de México. Categorizamos 15 recursos web de alta calidad. La mayoría son simulaciones interactivas y sistemas de álgebra computacional.
Resumen Esta reseña presenta los contenidos del libro Delimitación del problema y la pregunta de investigación y resalta aquellos que le dan su propio carácter. Por ejemplo, se señala que las explicaciones teóricas que se proporcionan sobre los temas principales siempre vienen acompañadas de explicaciones didácticas, recomendaciones prácticas y un gran número de ejemplos referentes a distintas disciplinas. Estos elementos se expresan con un lenguaje directo y sencillo que facilita la comprensión de las ideas expuestas. En conjunto, el esfuerzo de las autoras por integrar una obra de esta naturaleza dio como resultado un material de estudio actualizado que motiva a investigar.
En el Seminario Permanente para la Divulgación de la Investigación (SEPEDI) de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Acatlán se discuten colaborativamente proyectos de escritura académica que reafirman la confianza y la productividad de los investigadores. Como resultado de esta actividad, se organizó un evento sobre las mejores prácticas relacionadas con las etapas de la investigación que ayudan a vencer los desafíos de este proceso.
The only assertion that can be made about the future of humanity after the global COVID-19 pandemic is that it will never be the same. All aspects of our life, whether personal, social, professional, or academic have been affected. Considering this, teachers, education authorities and students will have to reevaluate our tasks and roles as key participants in the education process. This quantitative and exploratory study aims to know the opinion of a non-probabilistic sample of 46 professors and 43 students of six different majors in a public Mexican university, regarding the change in the teaching modality as a result of the global pandemic, in order to point out the impact this change has had on the teaching and learning processes, as well as on the emotional health of the samples. It was found that teachers introduced new technologies in their courses to interact, present content, and collaborate. Students had to adapt to the new modality and the challenges implied in online learning. Both populations expressed those considerable changes in the daily routines occurred as well as a significant increase in the time dedicated to work and study. Similarly, the study revealed that learners experienced a negative impact of these conditions on their academic performance. It is also concluded that in order to be able to determine the efficacy of the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies and the actual impact of the emotional state of the population on the learning and teaching process, further research will be necessary.
