Planning proposal based on universal learning design for teachers 2024
type: item
description: The general objective is to propose a planning model based on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach as a methodological strategy to improve the inclusive competence of teachers in the regular education system at the national level. The methodology used is based on the Holotype of Projective Research or “Feasible Project” of Comprehensive Level. The sample included 162 teachers and data were collected through surveys and questionnaires. The results revealed that teachers with specific training in SAD were aware of its concepts and techniques, were able to adapt the curriculum and seek the help of specialists. Those without specific training still felt prepared to serve diverse learners, but required more time to plan and adapt materials. All teachers who participated in the SAD workshops expressed their commitment to seek strategies for inclusion. The importance of continuing training in this area is highlighted. The implementation of the proposed SAD-based planning model at all levels and modalities of the National Education System requires coordinated collaboration and constant commitment on the part of educational authorities, academic institutions and teachers.

Analysis of Guarani expressions in disuse: their origin and evolution in contemporary use.
type: item
description: This work investigates the Guarani language from its earliest times. There are many words or concepts that are thought not to exist in Guarani, and for this reason many Spanish words are introduced, which gives the impression that Guarani lacks the appropriate terms for certain uses. In addition, there are numerous books that have not been used for the teaching of the Guarani language, or at least for the knowledge of its history. In these books one can find terms that have fallen into disuse and have been replaced by Spanish terms, thus impoverishing the language. It is known that the Guarani had no tradition of writing, so it is not possible to find texts in Guarani from pre-Hispanic times. Only after the arrival of the Spaniards did written materials on the Guarani language and the Guarani begin to appear. This work was initiated within the framework of the Chair of Guarani Philology. Through this study, it is possible to discover Guarani terms that are unknown to many, demonstrating that books written by Franciscans and Jesuits contain Guarani terms that contemporary speakers are unaware of, and that can be discovered.

Technological resources for English language teaching in middle school in a public school in Capitán Miranda, Itapúa
type: item
description: The context of the cessation of face-to-face classes due to the Covid 19 Pandemic led educational institutions to develop classes virtually at all levels. This work describes the technological resources used for teaching English as a foreign language in a school in the district of Capitán Miranda in 2021. It is framed in the line of educational technologies used for teaching the English language considering the points of view of the students and the teacher, based on what is indicated by the Ministry of Education and Sciences. The methodology was based on techniques that led to student surveys and interviews with the English language teacher to recollect information; It also relied on the analysis of the documentation available from the MEC for the implementation of virtual education in the context of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The MEC offered the platform "Tu escuela en casa" and Microsoft Teams for interaction between students and teachers, as well as monitoring. During the teaching-learning process of English as a foreign language, only WhatsApp, an instant messaging social network, was used as an intangible resource, and the most used tangible resource was the smartphone. Finally, a significant experience for students and teachers was the exchange of audio messages in English to practice pronunciation, which motivated and supported the development of the class guides received from the MEC. The effectiveness of technological resources for teaching the English language in this institution depends on tangible resources and the connectivity to access intangible resources.

type: item
description: Part of the learning process of students in the context of constructivism is oriented to build and encourage creativity in them with study techniques that best suit their learning needs. The study describes the influence of study techniques on the academic performance of students in the third cycle of Basic School Education in a public school in the city of Encarnación. The students organize their study time and homework, know and apply study techniques. The most used are underlining, summarizing, and concept maps. However, it is difficult for them to recognize the main idea, they always use the same techniques, they work in pairs; a minority does not use the techniques despite the fact that teachers encourage their use in class. Study techniques favor peer learning; they serve as feedback and fixation of learning, are very useful for closing units, as well as for the fixation and evaluation of learning; they favor student metacognition and self-reflection of teaching practice.

Endocrine and immunologic psychophysiologic differences between posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder
type: item
description: Stress is the response to exposure of the organism to harm or threat that produces a series of physiological changes and facilitates copying or at least adaptation to the situation. This systematic review aims to identify the endocrine and immunological psychophysiological differences between posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder. For this purpose, a search for empirical articles was conducted in the SCOPUS database. 1000 abstracts were analyzed in the first phase of review, finally selecting and categorizing 13 empirical articles in the second phase. The results showed that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is responsible for generating the cascade of stressful reactions and has an inhibitory effect on the immune system by altering the production of antibodies.

Characteristics of emotional dependence in women aged 18-25 years in the urban center of the city of Encarnación
type: item
description: This work was carried out with the purpose of knowing the characteristics of emotional dependence that women aged 18-25 years in the urban center of the city of Encarnación show. The research includes a qualitative approach, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design. We worked with a population of 25 university women who are part of the area of ​​Health Sciences, where a sample of 5 women was obtained. Three variables are presented for the study of the characteristics of emotional dependence: knowing the personal factors, the fear of the idea of ​​breaking up and the level of self-esteem of each of these women. To study these variables, three instruments are used: the Emotional Dependence Inventory, a semi-structured interview and the Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire. To conclude, the results indicate that the characteristics of emotional dependence that women show are: fear and intolerance of loneliness, submission-subordination, desires for control-dominance, desires for exclusivity, priority of the partner, need for access to the partner and fear of breaking up. Among the personal factors that influence emotional dependence, the presence of emotional deficiencies in women's childhood, a lack of social skills and a history of unbalanced relationships are confirmed. And, finally, there is a notable relationship between women's low self-esteem and the fact of presenting a high emotional dependence category.

COVID-19: A psychological perspective
type: item
description: One of the major shortcomings of Paraguay's health system is undoubtedly the area of Mental Health, to which barely 1% of the health budget is allocated, highly centralized in the country's capital, where the only publicly administered psychiatric hospital is located. For the analysis of the current situation of mental health, historical background related to both political and cultural variables must also be considered: on the one hand, 35 years of dictatorship, marked by a hegemonic asylum model that did not allow the implementation of other humanizing systems that influenced the following years of democratic transition; and, on the other hand, stereotypes and stigma related to “mental illness”, prejudices deeply impregnated in the DNA of Paraguayan society.

Emotional intelligence as a protective factor against cutting in adolescents
type: item
description: The main objective of this research was to describe the components of emotional intelligence in a 13-year-old adolescent girl who practices cutting. It had a descriptive design, using a qualitative, cross-sectional and non-experimental approach, through a single case study. The instruments used were the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, the IPDE evaluation questionnaire, and the Thinking Record. The results show that she presents clinical characteristics such as narcissistic personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, as well as low frustration tolerance; the psychological characteristics reveal personality conflict and strongly rooted dysfunctional thoughts that reveal an adolescent who thinks she is not worth as a person, not only physically because she has a physical disability, but also emotionally and mentally. In conclusion, it is shown that there is a relationship between low levels of the components of emotional intelligence with high frustration, feelings of worthlessness, non-acceptance and poor relationship with their parents.
