El desarrollo integral sucede en las personas a lo largo de la vida; potencia sus habilidades y destrezas como resultado de la incidencia que tienen factores ambientales, históricos, sociales y culturales.  Entre los 0 y 6 años se conoce como desarrollo infantil integral.  La educación inicial, por su parte, es el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje que sucede entre los 2 y 5 años de edad.  En estas edades se fortalecen y potencian habilidades y destrezas cognitivas, motoras, psicosociales.  Durante muchos años se ha pretendido distinguir al desarrollo infantil de la educación inicial, pero son dos procesos relacionados. En Ecuador, estos procesos están contemplados en la legislación nacional; sin embargo, no son considerados por parte del Estado, como de asistencia obligatoria y algunas familias no dimensionan su real importancia.  Este artículo pretende mostrar la necesidad de fortalecer las políticas públicas para incrementar la cobertura y acceso a los servicios de educación inicial y desarrollo infantil para forjar la mejora de las condiciones de vida de niñas y niños entre los 0 y 5 años. Para ello se han organizado aspectos teóricos y estadísticos que denotan los avances que se han alcanzado en los últimos 12 años. Finalmente, se establecen una serie de breves conclusiones. AbstractIntegral development occurs in people throughout their lives; it enhances their skills and abilities as a result of the impact of environmental, historical, social and cultural factors.  Between the ages of 0 and 6 it is known as integral child development.  Initial education, on the other hand, is the teaching-learning process that takes place between 2 and 5 years of age.  At these ages, cognitive, motor and psychosocial skills and abilities are strengthened and enhanced.  For many years there has been an attempt to distinguish child development from initial education, but these are two related processes. In Ecuador, these processes are contemplated in national legislation; however, they are not considered by the State to be compulsory attendance and some families do not appreciate their real importance.  This article aims to show the need to strengthen public policies to increase coverage and access to early education and child development services in order to improve the living conditions of girls and boys between 0 and 5 years of age. To this end, theoretical and statistical aspects have been organized to show the progress made in the last 12 years. Finally, a series of brief conclusions are established.

The Impact

Socio-cultural factors – shared values, norms and attitudes are significant, but less acknowledged sources of international competitiveness. Previous studies have found socio-cultural factors positively affecting various aspects of international competitiveness – entrepreneurship, innovation, productivity and international cooperation. These factors are more sustainable and less affected by external environment changes in comparison with the traditional factors. Socio-cultural factors provide an opportunity to develop competitiveness strategies based on unique advantages. This research aims to explore the impact of socio-cultural factors on international competiveness in small, open economies. Analysing relationship between 400 socio-cultural indicators and competitiveness indicators such as productivity, economic development, business and government efficiency, innovation capacity and infrastructure in 37 countries, six socio-cultural factors have emerged: Collectivism and Hierarchy; Future, Cooperation and Performance Orientation, Self-expression, Monochronism and Rationality, Economic Orientation and Social structure. The first factor – Collectivism and Hierarchy – tends to reduce the international competitiveness; the other five affect it positively.

This article presents the highlights of the learning experience within the teaching-learning scheme of French as an additional language as it was proposed to international students at the university to ensure pedagogical continuity during the health crisis between April and June 2020. Through vignettes that give an overview of the course, it proposes, on the one hand, to reflect on the pedagogical choices that were made in order to measure their effects effectively. On the other hand, it looks at the role of the tasks and the way in which they stimulate interaction, articulate or organise the cognitive, conative and socio-affective presence at a distance in this particular context. What emerges from the experience is that the flexible articulation of a set of tasks creates an organising framework that helps learners to shape their own curriculum while supporting their engagement. Overall, the pedagogical organisation of the device has led to potentially beneficial creative and socio-interactive use.

The Impact

Currently, there is a demand within distance education of control mechanisms for verifying the identity of students when conducting activities within virtual classrooms. Biometric authentication is one of the tools to meet this demand and prevent fraud. In this line of research, the present work is aimed at analyzing the perceptions of a group of distance students on the impact on the teaching-learning process of a technology of biometric authentication called Smowl. To meet this objective the authors design a quasi-experimental study with two groups of 50 students, one using Smowl technology and the other not. The results show a comparison of the perceptions of both groups, finding that students who have used Smowl are more favorable towards the use of such tools, except in matters relating to the impact on academic performance and ethical aspects of its use, in which no significant differences were found.

This article presents an analysis of the load capacity of the bolt joints of collecting electrodes with the rapper rod, made in HUCK technology. A discrete model of the system of electrodes was worked out for the analysis of stresses in bolt joints, the validation of which was made on the basis of measurement data obtained on the test bench. Two variants of joining the plates of electrodes with the rapper rod were taken into account in calculations - the first one with the correct geometry in the rapper rod, the other one with an eccentric displacement of holes in the flat bars of the rapper rod. In both variants the modelled system was loaded with the impulse force corresponding to the impact of the hammer against the anvil, with the run obtained from measurements on the test bench. These models and the related calculations were performed in the ABAQUS environment. As a result of the analyses performed, recommendations were worked out intended to eliminate cases of the destruction of bolt joints closest to the anvil of the rapper rod.

Age Of Entry

ABSTRACTToo often debate about the pros and cons of early schooling, including preschooling, focuses on age. But is age the most significant variable? How does the focus on age of entry align with current perspectives on development in early childhood? TO what extent does the debate take account of recent advances in teaching strategies and curriculum in early childhood? Too often it would appear that decisions concerning school programs are based on considerations which do not give attention to psychological and other evidence. To this extent the paper argues that the links between psychology and social change are tenuous. The paper undertakes a review of the issues from both developmental and educational viewpoints. In addition consideration is also given to the impact of social and cultural factors upon the movement; of children both from home to school and within school. Specifically the paper advances the view that a central concern in early education is the extent to which curriculum and strategies are able to meet individual needs.

Coconut Meat

In a competitive market, both suppliers and buyers behave with the aim of obtaining the most concession from the other. There are situations wherein one party benefits more than the other, resulting in unfavorable outcomes for the latter. The study explored the socio-cultural factors that affect the market behavior of coconut farmers, in an attempt to rationalize why coconut farmers are poor. This study is conducted in the Municipality of Bacong, Negros Oriental in the central part of the Philippines. Themes in the study included decision-making, division of labor, urban migration, and relations with other stakeholders as well as the impact to the local ecology. This study was conducted using qualitative research techniques that included key informant interview, participant observation, and focus group discussion. The findings show that the productive capacity of coconut farmers are limited, if not decreasing and are more influenced by the socio-cultural factors that govern the farmers’ life situations, than by the market prices of coconut meat. The farmers are price takers of the coconut meat they produce and sold. Productivity and income of small coconut farmers are expected to deteriorate together with vast agricultural lands becoming idle and barren, unless government interventions are enhanced, and young professionals are encouraged to return to the farms.Keywords: Socio-cultural factors, market behavior, decision-making, coconut farmers,descriptive design, Philippines

Daerah yang terdiri dari beragam etnik, selalu ada potensi munculnya konflik. Konflik yang terjadi pada tahun 1999 antara etnik Minang dan etnik Mandailing di latarbelakangi karena kesalahpahaman antara kedua etnik yang bertikai yaitu etnik Minang dan etnik Mandailing akhirnya berujung ke konflik besar yang bersifat anarkis. Dampak dari konflik di Kecamatan Kinali Pasaman Barat terhadap masyarakat dilihat dari faktor sosial budaya yaitu masyarakat lebih memilih untuk tidak bersosialisasi dan berinteraksi dengan etnik lain, pada faktor sosial ekonomi konflik berdampak kepada terjadinya penurunan penghasilan masyarakat dan daerah karena pasca konflik masyarakat memilih untuk tidak berinteraksi dan salah satunya tidak kepasar. Faktor sosial politik yaitu sikap orang etnik Mandailing yang tidak adaptif dalam pola hubungannya dengan kebudayaan dominan yang ada di Kinali disebabkan oleh sikap deskriminatif etnik Minang di Kinali terhadap etnik Mandailing dalam berbagai segi kehidupan yang mereka jalani selama ini yang akhirnya berbuah keengganan untuk mambaur dan bergaul secara normal dan wajar.
