Multimedia tools and literacy: a neurodidactic analysis of learning in early childhood education
type: item
description: This study analyzes the incidence of multimedia tools, under a neurodidactic approach, on the development of literacy skills in early childhood education. In a vulnerable educational context in Santo Domingo, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was implemented with a sample of 49 five-year-old students. The intervention, structured in 30 sessions over twelve weeks, integrated interactive audiovisual resources, gamification apps, touch interfaces, and educational robotics (Bee-Bot). Results reveal statistically significant progress (p ≈ 0.00003), highlighting an increase in the high performance level for simple word formation (from 0% to 48.98%) and spontaneous writing (from 4.08% to 48.9%). Likewise, absolute technological acceptance was recorded (100% preference) along with a positive family assessment regarding the intrinsic motivation achieved. It is concluded that pedagogical mediation with multimedia tools acts as a powerful cognitive catalyst that optimizes phoneme-grapheme association and strengthens learning persistence, narrowing educational gaps through interactive digital environments.

Evaluation of Digital Competencies in Mathematics Teachers: An Analysis Based on the TPACK Model
type: item
description: The integration of digital technologies in education demands a teaching profile capable of articulating disciplinary, pedagogical, and technological knowledge. This study evaluated the digital competencies of mathematics teachers in secondary education using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, under a quantitative, descriptive, and non-experimental cross-sectional design. A 21-item questionnaire was administered to a non-probabilistic sample of 71 in-service mathematics teachers in the Distrito Nacional, Santo Domingo (α = 0.89). Results revealed a moderate level of digital teaching competence, with an asymmetric hierarchy across the model's dimensions: Content Knowledge (CK) obtained the highest score (M = 3.08), while Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) recorded the lowest performance (M = 2.65). Weaknesses were also identified in digital assessment and low pedagogical use of artificial intelligence. It is concluded that teachers demonstrate greater confidence in their disciplinary domain than in the pedagogical integration of digital tools, suggesting the need for situated professional development processes aimed at the articulated strengthening of the pedagogical, disciplinary, and technological dimensions of the TPACK model.

Raising awareness about the use of artificial intelligence in educational practice
type: item
description: This paper aimed to discuss the necessary ethical awareness for the use of artificial intelligence in educational practice. A research protocol was implemented, forming a documentary study supported by a qualitative approach, using operational techniques to manipulate documentary research sources. Among the results, it was determined that artificial intelligence is a tool that can tend to replicate human behaviors with a technological basis, and that ethically it presents several challenges, especially important in education, where the role of actors in educational communities, such as teachers and students, is crucial. It was concluded that the incorporation and ethical awareness of artificial intelligence in education requires a framework of human governance, since it is not enough for the technology to be effective and efficient; it must also be explainable, transparent, and equitable.

Multimodal analysis of digital maturity and ai integration in Panama’s maritime higher education
type: item
description: The research analyzed the level of integration of digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in maritime higher education institutions in Panama City. The purpose was to determine the current technological gap to optimize the training of officers, technical, and management personnel for the merchant marine and the auxiliary logistics industry. Under a post-positivist paradigm and a concurrent nested mixed-methods design, data were collected from a sample of 150 participants using validated questionnaires, and 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders from academia and industry. Quantitative data were processed in SPSS, while qualitative data were handled through thematic analysis in NVivo. Findings revealed a consolidated basic digitalization in learning management systems (LMS), but an incipient implementation of AI, limited to basic assistance tools such as chatbots. A high readiness for technological adoption was identified, contrasted with budgetary barriers and resistance to institutional change. It is concluded that while an operational digital base exists, the sector's competitiveness requires urgent curricular reform and priority investment in faculty development to close the gap between academic competencies and the technological demands of the 21st-century maritime industry.

Use of chatbots in talent selection
type: item
description: The digitalization of recruitment in Panama has transformed human talent management, challenging traditional processes characterized by slowness and susceptibility to bias. In this context, the implementation of chatbots emerges as a technological solution for efficiency, although it raises critical questions regarding equity and organizational ethics. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of chatbot usage on recruitment effectiveness and candidate experience. Methodologically, a systematic literature review was conducted under a qualitative paradigm with a descriptive-documentary design, analyzing high-impact academic sources (2020-2025). The results demonstrate that the automation of initial screening and interview scheduling significantly reduces Time-to-Hire and operational costs. However, it was identified that the lack of human warmth and the presence of algorithmic biases represent barriers to applicant satisfaction. It is concluded that while chatbots optimize administrative efficiency, their success depends on an ethical design and a hybrid integration that preserves human judgment in the final stages of the process, thus ensuring a more equitable and transparent talent selection in the Panamanian labor market.

Sustainable refrigerants with lower climate impact for energy efficiency
type: item
description: The transition toward sustainable cooling systems constitutes a strategic imperative in regions with high energy demand and climate vulnerability. In the context of Panama, a historical dependence on substances with high global warming potential (GWP) has been identified, increasing environmental risks and gaps regarding international regulatory frameworks. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the transition toward low-climate-impact refrigerants and its influence on operational safety and energy efficiency within the Panamanian market. Under a qualitative paradigm, a descriptive-documentary design was applied using a hermeneutic method to interpret regulations, international protocols, and sectoral import data. The findings reveal a decreasing trend in the consumption of high-GWP HFCs, such as R-134a, displaced by transitional blends and the emerging introduction of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs). However, the discussion highlights that the full adoption of sustainable technologies is conditioned by cost asymmetry and limited specialized technical training. It is concluded that Panama is undergoing a regulatory and technological transformation toward the decarbonization of the refrigeration and air conditioning sector; nonetheless, consolidating this progress requires a policy of fiscal incentives and an update of safety codes to facilitate the large-scale integration of natural and low-flammability refrigerants.

Contributions of General Systems Theory to Dental Management
type: item
description: Von Bertalanffy's General Systems Theory (GST) was, at the time, a contribution to scientific development and, in particular, to the social sciences in different fields. From this perspective, this study aimed to describe the theoretical contributions of GST to dentistry, analyzing its contributions to organizational management in general and its specific application in the field of dental health. To this end, a qualitative descriptive study with a documentary-bibliographic design was carried out, based on a search and selection of information in academic databases. A hermeneutic-interpretative analysis was developed, structured into three categories: Fundamentals of GTS, contributions to organizational management, and application to health/dentistry. The results indicate that STS is a benchmark in administrative sciences and the study of organizations, as it transformed the epistemological postulates on the construction of knowledge and the notion of systems, leading to the consideration of organizations as living, open organisms in constant interrelation. In the field of dentistry, they provide a theoretical framework that redefines dental management at the clinical-care level by explaining the interrelationship of the human body's systems to analyze the stomatognathic system, the recognition of all its components, and the interconnection between them; and at the organizational level, understanding dental clinics as open systems with their internal and external relationships. TGS stands as a theoretical framework of interest to contemporary dentistry. Its adoption drives a change of model from fragmented practice to comprehensive and systemic management, in order to develop a dentistry that responds to the complexity of current health challenges.

The purpose of this study is to carry out a systematic review of scientific literature related to the design, application and impact of educational video games developed under the ARCADE methodology and their integration into virtual mathematics courses. The research covers the period between 2015 and 2024, with the aim of identifying the main trends, methodological approaches, theoretical contributions, and application cases reported in prestigious databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). The methodology was developed in two phases: the first consisted of the search, selection and analysis of indexed articles, oriented to the use of video games in the teaching of mathematics in virtual environments; The second phase comprised an analysis of co-citation networks, in order to identify influential authors, key publications, emerging lines of research, and knowledge maps that reveal the conceptual structure of the field. The results allow us to establish three predominant thematic cores: video game design with a pedagogical approach, the impact of gamification on motivation and academic performance, and the use of specific methodologies such as ARCADE in the development of interactive resources for teaching mathematics. The discussion highlights the need to deepen empirical studies that evaluate the effectiveness of these resources in real learning contexts. Finally, recommendations are made for future research aimed at improving didactic strategies mediated by video games in virtual higher education.

ENTRE DATOS Y DOCENTES: INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL Y PERSONALIZACIÓN DEL APRENDIZAJE
type: item
description: Este artículo presenta una revisión sistematizada de la literatura basada en el modelo PRISMA, que analiza 70 estudios publicados entre 2015 y 2025, seleccionados de fuentes académicas, informes técnicos y marcos normativos internacionales. Los resultados evidencian que la IA contribuye a mejorar la motivación, autonomía y el rendimiento académico, al permitir ajustes dinámicos en los contenidos, ritmos y estrategias pedagógicas según las características individuales de los estudiantes. La mayoría de los estudios revisados presentan una relevancia alta o muy alta en relación con la personalización del aprendizaje, siendo los estudios aplicados y los contextos de educación superior los más representados. No obstante, persisten desafíos importantes como la brecha digital, los sesgos algorítmicos, la protección de datos personales y la escasa formación docente en el uso pedagógico de estas tecnologías. El análisis también identifica condiciones necesarias para una implementación sostenible, incluyendo políticas públicas claras, desarrollo profesional docente y un enfoque centrado en el estudiante. Se ofrecen recomendaciones orientadas a fortalecer la equidad, ética y efectividad en el uso de IA en los sistemas educativos, destacando su potencial transformador cuando se integra de forma crítica, inclusiva y pedagógicamente coherente.

FACTORES CRÍTICOS PARA EL DESARROLLO DE UNA PLANTA DE SEMICONDUCTORES EN PANAMÁ. ANÁLISIS FACTORIAL
type: item
description: El proceso de globalización ha propiciado el despliegue de grandes empresas y sus procesos productivos mediante la deslocalización mediante el offshoring hacia regiones cercanas a los lugares de venta (nearshoring), con el fin de reducir considerablemente los costos de producción. Panamá ha sido seleccionado como uno de los lugares claves para algunos procesos de diseño, empaque y comercialización de los semiconductores en virtud de su posición geográfica y las conexiones internacionales. Esto permite el abaratamiento de los costos de transporte y una mayor capacidad de respuesta de la cadena de suministro. Este estudio pretende identificar los factores que faciliten o influyen en la implementación de una planta de diseño, prueba, empaque y comercialización en Panamá. Con el fin de lograr este objetivo se realizó la identificación de una serie de indicadores que podrían incidir en este proyecto. Para la obtención de la información se realizó una revisión bibliográfica, entrevistas a expertos, y como instrumento, una encuesta aplicada a una muestra con experiencia en el área. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el análisis factorial exploratorio basado en el cálculo de correlaciones con apoyo del software SPSS y Excel. Los resultados evidenciaron 5 factores latentes: Infraestructura y recursos; Innovación y colaboración; economía y política; talento humano y ambiente internacional. Se concluye que en Panamá existe una gran oportunidad de nearshoring de semiconductores, para lo cual debería abordarse un enfoque sistémico que permite concebir estrategias de acción multifactoriales.
