A look at school stress and academic self-efficacy in students

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 22:18:05 +0000

School stress is present at many educational levels and can represent a problem when achieving effective academic self-efficacy in young people. This study analyzed school stress to verify its possible relationship with academic self-efficacy in adolescent students. A sample of 245 students was used, to whom the academic self-efficacy scale and the systemic cognitive inventory (SISCO) were applied to determine the possible relationship between these variables. The main findings revealed that school stress has a weak positive relationship with academic stress, because, to achieve satisfactory results in academic performance, there must be appropriate academic self-efficacy, which merits effort and commitment on the part of the student, which causes stressful situations, inevitable for the achievement of objectives.

Design and simulation of a photovoltaic plant for maximum use of the solar resource in the Toluviejo municipality of Colombia

Luz Elena Maldonado Alviarez, Jose Luciano Maldonado — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:02:00 +0000

Currently, there are various technologies for constructing photovoltaic plants including monofacial and bifacial photovoltaic panels, centralized and string-type inverters, and fixed mounting structures with light followers, to build electrical energy generation systems. This work reviewed the advantages and disadvantages between these technologies, and the implementation of a photovoltaic plant in Toluviejo, Colombia was proposed. To justify and confirm the design, simulations were carried out with the PVsyst software, resulting in the bifacial panels, centralized inverters, and structures with light followers, the most effective solution, and with the highest production for the proposed photovoltaic power generation plant.

Factors associated with political participation among university students in Peru

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:56:32 +0000

In Peru, the political participation of university students is low, influenced by legal, cultural, and personal factors that limit them to voting only out of obligation. This work analyzed the factors associated with political participation in university students, considering their socio-academic variables. A sample of 310 students was used, where low levels of political participation were found, with significant associations to factors such as apoliticism, mobilization, and activism, but without relation to sociodemographic variables such as sex, occupation, or economic dependence. The lack of participation is attributed to distrust in political actors due to corruption and personal disinterest, with a greater focus on one's academic activities.

Student satisfaction in virtual education

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 13:50:18 +0000

Virtual education emerged as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for educational continuity through social distancing. However, this transition revealed inequalities in access to and use of technology among students and teachers, influenced by factors such as geographical location, economic resources, and technology training. Additionally, the pandemic generated psychosocial issues that impacted students' emotional well-being, increasing stress and sleep disorders. Although various studies have analyzed virtual education, focusing on its behavior during and after the crisis, a significant gap has been observed between public and private education in terms of resources and quality. This study focuses on student satisfaction in virtual education, exploring conditions and methodological variables, and is part of a chapter in a book examining the educational system during the pandemic.
