Science, technology, and innovation articulation of local public university with economic and social agents

Within the framework of the increase in investment in science and technology to raise the innovation indicators of the countries, this article presents the need to know the factors that intervene in the process of technology transfer to understand the characteristics of Science, Technology, and Innovation articulation of a local public university with the economic and social agents. Qualitative phenomenological design was used to explore theoretical models and expert opinion. Sample was selected retrospectively and by saturation. Data were processed by categorization and analyzed by triangulation. 20 factors and 5 dimensions were obtained in technology transfer, and three types of articulation. It is concluded that the Science, Technology, and Innovation articulation in a local public university is Type I, and that the characterization has been achieved based on the factors that participate in technology transfer

Instrument validity: perception of virtual learning during CoVId-19

En el marco de la pandemia originada por la CoVId-19 la educación a nivel mundial, como medida de prevención, pasó de la forma presencial a la virtual. La manera intempestiva de este cambio y sin preparación previa trajo dificultades y también algunas ventajas a los estudiantes de doctorado. Esto obligó a algunos investigadores a crear un instrumento de medición documental denominado “Percepción del aprendizaje virtual de doctorandos en el marco de la CoVId-19” de cuatro dimensiones y 30 ítems en escala del tipo Likert. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar desde el enfoque cuantitativo la validez interna y externa del instrumento mencionado. Los resultados muestran un coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, inicial y final, mayor a 0,8 y un coeficiente de correlación de Pearson diferente de cero. Se concluye que el instrumento analizado, no solo es suficiente y pertinente, sino que también, presenta validez porque es confiable y estableIn the framework of the pandemic caused by CoVId-19, education worldwide, as a preventive measure, went from face-to-face to virtual. The untimely manner of this change, and without prior preparation, brought difficulties and also some advantages to doctoral students. This forced some authors to create a documentary measurement instrument called "doctoral students’ virtual learning perception in the CoVId-19 framework" with four dimensions and 30 items on a Likert-type scale. The objective of this work is to present from the quantitative approach the internal and external validity of the mentioned instrument. The results show a Cronbach's alpha coefficient, initial and final, greater than 0.8 and a Pearson correlation coefficient different from zero. It is concluded that the analyzed instrument is not only sufficient and relevant, but also has validity because it is reliable and stabl
