MIGRATORY REALITY IN THE SAN JOSÉ DE CÚCUTA BORDER ZONE

This research corresponds to an analysis of the current reality of the territory of the Colombian-Venezuelan border of San José de Cúcuta, based on the characterization of migrants who have arrived and settled in the northwestern sector, informal settlement La Fortaleza Comuna No. 8 in the peripheral area of the city, from where an international Venezuelan human mobility was evidenced, which took greater strength in 2015, after the breakdown of relations between the Colombian and Venezuelan State, aggravating the humanitarian crisis, security and stability of the border territory. The methodological framework corresponded to a positivist approach, which allowed the characterization of the population concerning their social and economic environment, as well as the socio-demographic characteristics of the household, access to health services, education, labor and occupational skills, financial inclusion, housing and household characteristics and aspects of migration. As findings and conclusions, it is highlighted that the migratory phenomenon has generated an informal appropriation of the territory in San José de Cúcuta with greater emphasis on the expansion land located in the northwestern side of the city -sector La Fortaleza. This generated a fragmentation of the urban space and spatial isolation that resulted in the disintegration of the social fabric, which in the case of the border city is evidenced by residential segregation, deterioration and difficulties in mobility, problems of access to services and reduced access to opportunities. &nbsp

Impact of Zika on infants

Objective: To describe the level of impairment in performance skills and maturational age of children in the Valientes del Futuro program with neonatal Zika virus infection. Materials and Methods: The research is framed with a quantitative approach of a correlational type supported by field research and non-experimental design, with a sample of 15 infants 3, 4 and 5 years old. The collection technique used was the Abbreviated Scale. Results: Regarding the areas evaluated for the maturational age, it was found that the weighting of motor skills and praxis found a correlation coefficient of 0.601 (moderate) and in the sample of the execution skills of 3-year-old children with gestational zika a correlation of 0.853 (strong) was obtained. Conclusions: There is a correlation between infants with gestational zika and strong affectation in the actions or behaviors that a patient has to move and physically interact with activities, and objects and thus perform a learned motor activity

Logics of Writing: formative elements to develop communicative competences

The present descriptive research with aqualitative approach compares the scriptural process of third grade children of a rural school from images, having as references the definition of a scriptural theme, the integration of narrative elements, the coherence and cohesion of the escrite and the structure and narrative development; which are evaluated in two moments,  an initial one where it is written without images and a later one in which these are used as a pedagogical resource. As instruments for data collection, imagesare used that motivate writing; complementing this with the discussion group technique, which explores what students think and feel about writing. The results show progress in the writing process from images, related to creativity, cognitive and narrative development and the contextualization of writing as subjective, free and personal expression

Spare time and leisure activities in older adults, during social isolation

Human beings, upon reaching this stage of old age, experience a phase of social isolation, caused by the decline of body structures and functions at the biopsychosocial level. Likewise, in March 2020, as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the covid-19 virus, social isolation is abruptly and permanently decreed for the entire Colombian population, with a greater impact on this population due to comorbidity criteria. Hence the importance of evaluating the different leisure and free time activities carried out by institutionalized older adults in times of social isolation. A descriptive quantitative methodological approach was adopted. The results show that older adults invest much of their time in activities that do not require greater physical effort or professional accompaniment, such as watching television or listening to the radio (91%). However, some of the activities have been abandoned as a result of the physical deterioration associated with the aging process, such as reading and walking, observed in 67% and 36% of the cases, respectively

The Instituting and the Instituted: A Ropósito of the competences in the field of Higher Education

The research article shown below presents a rigorous study that sought to analyze in depth the instituted and instituting imaginaries on the competences in the field of higher education that derive from the institutional discourses and the voices of the educational actors. The research approach is framed in the qualitative-comprehensive paradigm. The findings show that competences emerge as integrative elements capable of selecting, from a wide range of possibilities, knowledge appropriatedfor certain educational purposes and that sometimes do not permeate school scenarios

Van Hiele and GeoGebra model. An Analysis from Variational Thinking in Basic Education Students

The article describes the use of Geogebra within the framework of the  Van Hiele model for the development of the learning process of the concept of function in basic education students. The methodology is qualitative action research with quantitative support. To this end, a didactic sequence was implemented with situations of variation and changes in the records of representation of the concept of function, which was analyzed, from the qualitative through direct observation and interviews with students, and from the quantitative, through a pretest design - posttest. Students had the opportunity to experience another way of learning using dynamic environment such as Geogebra. It is concluded that the levels of reasoning of Van Hiele  and the Geogebra software  are adequate for the study of functions, because it allowed learning situations where students evidenced the analysis of graphs, evaluation of algebraic expressions and changes of representation in adynamic and interactive environment

Didactic Scenarios for Teaching the Concept of Quadratic Function and its Applications in the Framework of Physics Teaching

This work develops a didactic sequence whose central axis is the modeling of physical phenomena, which leads to a quadratic model through direct experimentation or the use of simulations using the analysis of variables, hypothesis formulation and their verification. The objective is to present the modeling process through the concept of a quadratic function in the solution of physical phenomena, in a group of ninth-grade students, in a Public Educational Institution of the Department of Norte de Santander, Colombia. The methodology followed was qualitative, descriptive and interpretative in a case study that adopted the phenomenological design. It is concluded that the didactic sequence uses examples and applications of mathematics in areas such as physics, which facilitates the understanding of the concepts, in this case, the quadratic function

Economic reactivation and social regulation from the perspective of children: A challenge during the implementation of the peace agreement in the Catatumbo region

The results of a research developed through a hermeneutic analysis of drawings and narratives of children, adolescents and young people from the municipalities prioritized for the implementation of the Peace Agreement in Catatumbo - Norte de Santander, who participated in a training on the peace process in Colombia since the emergence of the guerrilla movements. They contributed to the pillars of the Program for Development with a Territorial Approach (PDTA) and to the vision of the territory from artistic and narrative approaches, drawing and narrating the Catatumbo they dream of and can build. Emphasis is placed on the contributions of the NNAJ to the pillars "Social organization of rural property and land use" and "Economic reactivation and agricultural and livestock production". The analysis allows recognizing the social phenomena typical of post-conflict scenarios and even of permanent armed conflict, which define the condition in which the inhabitants of this territory find themselves, for land use and economic reactivation, where the presence of illegal armed groups persists and restricts legal economic alternatives to illicit crops, all this in a scenario of transitional justice and the implementation of the peace agreements between the FARC and the Colombian State

Reading comprehension and technological mediation in public education of the Basic Level in Colombia

This article presents the results of the research Technological mediation and reading comprehension in official basic education in Colombia, carried out with the aim of knowing the contributions of technological mediations in the processes of comprehensive reading in students of the basic level of the public sector in four cases located in different regions of the national territory. For this, Action Research was used as a method involving the reflective and permanent participation of teachers and students throughout the process, based on the model of Restrepo (2006), deconstruction of practice, reconstruction of practices and assessment of the effectiveness of practice; for which the main categories of analysis and qualitative construction were comprehensive reading,  contextualized mediation and ICT. In short, the results confirm the value of digital educational resources in comprehensive processes  given the successful relationship between ICT mediation and motivation by reading processes, including textual relationships linked to the interpretation of texts

Comprensión del concepto de función en los primeros cursos de educación superior

El presente estudio busca evaluar los elementos presentes en la comprensión del concepto de función en los estudiantes al iniciar su proceso de formación de su pregrado. El estudio se basa en el interaccionismo simbólico mediante el análisis de los significados que los estudiantes le atribuyen a este objeto matemático al abordar la resolución de problemas. La metodología adoptada es cualitativa y se hace uso de la codificación teórica para analizar los resultados bajo una aplicación de la teoría fundamentada con un enfoque estructurado. Se diseñó un instrumento que consta de nueve ítems en dónde se utilizan diversos registros de representación alrededor del concepto de función. La información que genera este estudio corresponde al primer ítem en dónde se les presentó a los estudiantes dos representaciones gráficas con la intensión de que identificaran cuál de ellas representaba una función y debían argumentar su respuesta. En total se analizan 86 argumentos de los estudiantes alrededor del concepto de función. La profundidad alcanzada en este estudio deriva en la formulación de investigaciones futuras relacionadas con el análisis sistemático y profundo de los registros semánticos y sus respectivas variaciones
