The objective of this article is to characterize the trends of STEAM methodology and early education, from a systematic review process with a phase of analysis of didactic strategies and a following phase of characterization of emerging categories. This research, with a qualitative approach, conducted a search in the SCOPUS database in the period between 2014 and 2023 analyzing STEAM teaching trends in early childhood education, concluding that the use of didactic strategies in early childhood education mainly relates STEAM to game-based learning, creativity development, computational thinking, art and robotics. At the level of emerging categories, there was a strong tendency to study teacher training and its conceptions.</p> Felipe Mauricio Pino-Perdomo Angye Vanessa Briñez Leyton Varón Gaitán Varón Gaitán Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 38 56 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025004 Industry 4.0 as Public Policy: A Comparative Study https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/436 <p>Industry 4.0 is based on disruptive technologies such as IoT and AI with ubiquitous connectivity to increase production volume, the ability to diversify products, and improve the flow of data for greater flexibility and anticipation of market changes. Despite the technical component that describes the term, it arises from a public policy strategy proposed by the German government and some authors describe it as a rather political concept. The purpose of this text is to make a comparative analysis of four policy strategies linked to the development of Industry 4.0. The cases chosen for this purpose are Industrie 4.0 of the German government; the Smart Manufacturing Plan of the United States, 2) the “Society 5.0” strategy of the Japanese government; and 4) the lines of action of the Mexican government to boost Industry 4.0 in the country.</p> Angeles Ortiz-Espinoza Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 57 68 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025005 Student perception of the gaming strategy in higher education. Experimental study https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/469 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The advancement of technology has contributed to the educational context by fostering interaction. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of learning outcomes and teaching methodologies in four experimental courses at the International University of Ecuador and compare them with the perceptions of courses where gamification methodologies were not applied. The experiment included 50 students. Likert scales were used to measure students' perceptions of the teaching methodologies employed. The results suggest that, in face-to-face classes, the overall satisfaction of students in courses utilizing gamification strategies is statistically higher than in courses with traditional methodologies. Conversely, virtual courses showed opposing results. It is concluded that gamification in face-to-face courses significantly enhances class dynamism, learning objectives, and the overall classroom experience.</span></p> Jorge Izaguirre Olmedo Dennys Jordán Correa Ana López Brunett Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 69 78 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025006 The Agency of Ecuador as a Non-Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council in the Periods 1991-1992 and 2023 https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/474 <p>This thesis investigates the participation of Ecuador as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in the periods of 1991-1992 and 2023. It examines the role of international organizations, especially the Security Council, and how they influence the behavior of a small country like Ecuador, which seeks to maintain a role in the system. The analysis highlights the evolution of the international system from the Cold War to the present, focusing on the effects of polarity and alliances in the decision-making process. Previously, unanimity predominated in the Council voting. Now there is greater discrepancy among the powers, which presents an additional challenge for Ecuador, which seeks to maintain its agency without yielding to external pressures. Throughout the different votes, it can be observed that Ecuador has maintained its policy of non-alignment, based on respect for international law, in order to navigate an ever-changing international system.</p> SANTIAGO CARRANCO PAREDES Emily Moncayo Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 79 100 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025007 Perception of coworking and its potential in the development of Guayaquil’s entrepreneurial ecosystem https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/472 <p>This study examines entrepreneurs’ perceptions of coworking in Guayaquil, assessing their familiarity, usage, and expected benefits. Using a mixed-method approach, surveys were conducted with 383 entrepreneurs and professionals, complemented by interviews with key informants. The findings indicate that while awareness of coworking remains low, there is growing interest in its advantages, particularly in specialized consulting in finance, marketing, and talent management. Identified barriers include a lack of information, perceived high costs, and the location of coworking spaces. The interviews highlighted that entrepreneurs believe coworking should not be limited to physical spaces but rather offer strategic services that drive business growth. The study concludes that although coworking is perceived positively, its adoption in Guayaquil depends on strategies that enhance its visibility, accessibility, and alignment with the needs of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.</p> Darwin Daniel Ordoñez-Iturralde Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 101 110 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025008 Evaluation of Digital Competencies in Teaching: A Study of High School and Higher Education Teachers in Mexico https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/478 <p style="font-weight: 400;">The modern world demands that individuals possess technical and informational skills that enable them to navigate various domains, such as school, work, and entertainment, to name a few. In Latin America, the concept of digital competencies has helped explore this set of skills, providing both educators and educational managers with ways to effectively integrate digital technologies into various socio-educational processes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This paper examines, from this perspective, three stages of the teaching process: 1) educational planning for digitalization, 2) the development of teaching, and 3) evaluation. The instrument used is a Likert scale questionnaire applied to a sample of 863 teachers: 491 from high school and 372 from university, aiming to compare their digital knowledge for teaching in both educational subsystems.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The data analysis includes non-parametric statistical tests; the findings reveal significant variability in the digital competencies of teachers, suggesting differences in training, access to professional development resources, and personal motivation to integrate ICT into teaching across both levels. The results highlight the importance of continuous evaluation and training of teachers in digital competencies, tailored to the individual and educational needs of the subsystems where they practice their teaching.</p> Abel Antonio Grijalva Verdugo María Guadalupe Soto Decuir César Roberto Jiménez Ramírez José Alejandro Lara Rivera Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-01-01 2025-01-01 20 1 111 121 10.33304/revinv.v20n1-2025009 Exploring sustainable consumption marketing among young adults in Mexico City https://sievi.udi.edu.co/ojs/index.php/ID/article/view/479 <p>This study explores sustainable consumption among young adults in Mexico City to improve marketing strategies.
