Análisis socioeconómico de los complejos turísticos de la parroquia el Carmen cantón La Maná provincia de Cotopaxi

The purpose of this research was to analyze the socioeconomic impact of tourist resorts in the El Carmen parish, La Maná canton, Cotopaxi province. The methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, specifically a descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 384 tourists over 18 years of age who visited the resorts, along with 3 owners, managers, or administrators. The interview results indicated that tourist resorts contribute to job creation in areas such as administration, kitchen staff, guest services, cleaning, maintenance, and security. However, the presence of both advantages and disadvantages also revealed that increased tourism does not always translate into sustainable growth, even though the activity generates employment, stimulates commerce, and enhances the area’s image. The study concluded that the income generated allows tourists to cover needs such as food, education, healthcare, transportation, and basic services; however, its stability depends on weekends, holidays, and peak tourist seasons. In addition, adverse effects were observed related to congestion, price increases, disruption of tranquility, waste generation, and the deterioration of natural spaces.

“Incidencia de la poesía protesta en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes”

Protest poetry brings literary resources and social issues together, turning reading into an opportunity for interpretation, dialogue, and reasoned positioning. This study examined the incidence of a protest-poetry teaching strategy on self-reported critical-thinking indicators among 32 sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade General Basic Education students at Unidad Educativa Particular “Internacional Cotopaxi”. In this article, incidence refers to the descriptive difference between the measurements taken before and after the strategy. A quantitative, descriptive-comparative approach and a one-group pre-experimental design were used. Students completed a 16-item self-report questionnaire covering four dimensions: critical reading and social analysis; poetic interpretation and contextualization; argumentation and comparison of perspectives; and reflection on social problems. Responses were coded on a one-to-four scale and analyzed through frequencies, valid percentages, and weighted means. The pretest yielded 500 valid responses: 47.4% “never,” 45.2% “rarely,” 5.8% “frequently,” and 1.6% “always.” The posttest yielded 511 valid responses: 29.4% “frequently” and 70.6% “always.” The overall mean rose from 1.62 to 3.71 points. Higher posttest values were found for identifying social problems, understanding implicit messages, supporting opinions, comparing viewpoints, and proposing solutions. These findings describe a favorable change in self-reported indicators; however, the lack of a comparison group and participant-level records prevents a causal attribution to the strategy

Desarrollo de una Aplicación Web interactiva para el aprendizaje de las operaciones básicas de matemáticas para los alumnos del tercer año de la Escuela de Educación Básica “Gustavo Iturralde"
(Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi (UTC). Facultad de Ciencias de la Ingeniería y Aplicadas. Sistemas de Información, 2026-10-14) Viracocha Saa, Darwin Joel; Cantuña Flores, Karla Susana
Mastery of basic mathematical operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is fundamental in the early years of basic education, as it forms the foundation for logical and mathematical reasoning and is essential for solving everyday problems. However, students often face difficulties, lose interest, and achieve lower academic performance when taught only through traditional methods. Integrating technology into education has proven to be an innovative strategy, since interactive web applications offer dynamic, visual content adapted to each student’s pace, along with immediate feedback that helps correct mistakes. Accordingly, this project proposes the development of a web application for third-grade students at the Gustavo Iturralde Basic Education School. Its objective is to strengthen mathematical skills through practical exercises and interactive activities. Impacts include improved motivation and understanding, personalized learning, and valuable support materials for both students and teachers. The methodology combines descriptive research to identify needs with the design, development, and testing of the application. Key expected results are greater student engagement, improved speed and accuracy in solving operations, and evidence that interactive tools promote deeper, more meaningful learning.
