A quantitative approach is used with correlational design and nonprobabilistic convenience sampling with 40 merchants. The results revealed a strong positive correlation (r=0.885, p&lt;0.05) between financial planning and merchants' indebtedness. These findings suggest that adequate financial planning is significantly associated with the indebtedness levels of textile traders in that market. In addition, it was observed that training must be continuous and adaptive to contribute effectively and efficiently to the financial improvements of these traders.</p> Ana Melva Solano Rojas Luis Martin Cabrera Arias Copyright (c) 2024 Ana Melva Solano Rojas, Luis Martin Cabrera Arias https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 28 123 7 17 10.47460/uct.v28i123.797 The ISO 45001 standard and its relationship with the Occupational Health and Safety Law, Peruvian case https://uctunexpo.autanabooks.com/index.php/uct/article/view/798 <p>The implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System is essential in organizations to take care of the integrity of people and avoid illnesses.

In this sense, this work was focused on analyzing these skills using rhymes and minimal consonant pairs in 5-year-old children for learning English. The sample was made up of 7 children. However, the participation of teachers was also considered to validate the experience. The study focused on carrying out listening activities, where the child could express himself spontaneously with his peers. The main results show that the children studied can learn a new language without major difficulties, however, teachers must have pedagogical strategies to carry out methodologies suitable according to the context and age of the students. In this sense, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is indispensable for this objective.</p> Sandra Valentina Chulde Cabrera Monica Valeria Arboleda Valdiviezo Elizabeth Fernanda Aldaz Brusi Fernanda Gabriela Chazi Nacimba Copyright (c) 2024 Sandra Valentina Chulde Cabrera, Monica Valeria Arboleda Valdiviezo, Elizabeth Fernanda Aldaz Brusi, Fernanda Gabriela Chazi Nacimba https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 28 123 31 39 10.47460/uct.v28i123.799 Comparison of the development of investigative skills between Project Based Learning and the Flipped Class https://uctunexpo.autanabooks.com/index.php/uct/article/view/800 <p>This study compared the impact of Project Based Learning (PBL) with Flipped Classroom for developing&nbsp;scientific inquiry skills in 76 high school students.
