Cristhian Michael Bailón Anchundia — 2021-09-26

The vulnerability of older adults requires specialized attention by agencies that contribute to their quality of life, as a response to the problem that can be complicated in social settings. The objective of this research was to identify the multidisciplinary intervention of social work in the gerontological area at the Guillermina Loor de Moreno Gerontological Center in the city of Portoviejo, Ecuador. The study was descriptive, with a qualitative approach, the interview technique was used as a source of information collection and the interview guide was applied to the social worker of the gerontological center as an instrument. The results show that the participation of the social worker with the multidisciplinary team in the assessment process of the elderly person allows the organization, programming, and evaluation of the center's activities, which is why complementary activities are implemented, such as the identification, mapping, and coordination of networks with other institutions, which effectively allow the elderly people in street situations to join the gerontological center. The interinstitutional management carried out by social workers in the gerontological center allows it to integrate prevention and health promotion strategies, seeking comprehensive palliative actions, which follow systematic evaluation processes.

Florentino López — 2021-09-21

Considering the limited research and instruments that assess teaching competencies within the framework of key learning, the article summarizes the design and validation of a rubric aimed at assessing their pedagogical knowledge in the educational field. Ten items were considered for the design of the instrument with their respective performance descriptors related to the evaluation of teaching competencies on key learning. For the validation process, the items were reviewed by three experts who provided syntax and wording suggestions aimed at improving comprehension and interpretation. In the next phase, the instrument was evaluated by a team of thirteen expert judges, who provided an assessment of the content validity of the items and performance descriptors, obtaining optimal values for each item (Aiken's v>0.80), both in relevance and wording, showing an excellent degree of understanding of instructions and items, therefore, it is considered that the instrument is feasible to assess the teaching competencies.

Use value and nature in the conception of Bolívar Echeverría

José Emanuel Campos Madrigal — 2021-09-18

This article focuses on the Marxian category of use-value in relation to nature from the thought of the Ecuadorian Mexican philosopher Bolívar Echeverría, having as its main objective to analyze his concept of “transnaturalization” in the interaction between human beings and nature during the processes of production and reproduction of human material life. Therefore, the methodology used focuses on a critical and exegetical stance of Marx's texts from the perspective of the Ecuadorian Mexican thinker, where Echeverría's perspective on the value that is valued is explored, as well as the role of nature, which ends up being itself an exploitable commodity in the dynamics of the capitalist mode of production, becoming a fundamental aspect in the constant creation of social identity.

Finally, it is concluded that behind the analyzed proposal, there are certain cognitive faculties that determine the way in which the main problems of knowledge are intended to be solved in the construction of the studied concept.
