Exploring the relationship between metacognition and motivation in Peruvian basic education students
Get PDFIntroduction: Metacognition is essential in the teaching-learning process, as students who are aware of their own thinking processes tend to be more effective in acquiring knowledge and skills.Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between metacognition and motivation in Peruvian basic education students.Methods: Quantitative research, non-experimental design with correlational scope. The sample consisted of 130 students who responded to two questionnaires characterized by adequate metric properties.Results: Preliminarily, it was found that students applied metacognitive processes efficiently and their level of motivation was high. On the other hand, it was determined that the Kendall\u27s Tau b correlation coefficient for both variables was equal to 0.501 and the p-value was lower than the significance level (p<0.05). This implies that those students who were more aware and reflective about how they approached their academic activities, how they planned and executed learning strategies, tended to be more motivated in their studies.Conclusions: It was determined that there is a direct and significant relationship between metacognition and motivation in Peruvian basic education students. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers promote activities that develop self-reflection and awareness of thinking processes. This may include self-assessment exercises and learning journal
Impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on pregnancy and its perinatal repercussions: a systematic review
Get PDFSince its inception, the COVID-19 infection has impacted the lives of at-risk populations, including pregnant women. Using clinical data and case studies, other authors have shown greater morbidity in pregnant women positive for the infection. This review includes articles from the PUBMED, SCOPUS, and SCIENCEDIRECT databases of international research. Data have shown that, compared to uninfected pregnant women, COVID is associated with increased risk and maternal and perinatal complications. Complications involving increased hospital admission were present mostly in the third trimester and included premature birth, spontaneous abortion, cesarean section, ICU admission, assisted mechanical ventilation, pneumonia, maternal death. Birth outcomes often included fetal distress, intrauterine death, and perinatal events found were low birth weight, severe sepsis, and neonatal death. The risk of vertical transmission is low. Few findings show pregnant women asymptomatic to the infection and this depends on whether the pregnant woman has other comorbidities such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus that increase the risk of maternal morbidity and mortalit

Gamification and Computational Thinking in Education: A systematic literature review
Get PDFThe rapid development of gamification and computational thinking seems to open up new educational horizons by providing new opportunities for students to acquire the basic digital skills needed for their cognitive development. Gamification, on the side, flourishes because it brings about high degree of participants’ engagement in an activity. Accordingly, on the other side, the growing scientific interest in computational thinking centers on the fact that it provides a fruitful field of dialogue in the research community for the development of critical and analytical thinking of students. Hence, this paper aims to synthesize knowledge about gamification and computational thinking for improving education for the benefit of students. Specifically, this paper describes: (a) the theoretical background of gamification in learning and education, (b) relevant studies in literature and their findings, and (c) specific gamified applications of STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics] which have been developed to this subject area. Four databases were searched, and 37 papers were finally selected for this review. The findings from the presented learning theories set the foundation on how students obtain knowledge, and the relevant studies in the field of gamification and computational thinking showed some first positive outcomes stemming some first research attempts which need further examination. Furthermore, it seems that with the right use of game mechanics and elements, well-designed applications of STEM gain students’ interest to learn through gameplay and motivate them to cultivate computational thinking and problem-solving skill
Utilizing Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Predicting Crypto-currency Trends
Get PDFIn the dynamic and often volatile world of the cryptocurrency market, accurately predicting future market movements is crucial for making informed trading decisions. While manual trading involves traders making subjective judgments based on market observations, the development of algorithmic trading systems, incorporating Machine Learning and Deep Learning, has introduced a more systematic approach to trading. These systems often employ technical analysis and machine learning techniques to analyze historical price data and generate trading signals. This study delves into a comparative analysis of two charting techniques, Heikin-Ashi and alternate candlestick patterns, in the context of forecasting single-step future price movements of cryptocurrency pairs. Utilizing a range of time windows (1 day, 12 hours, 8 hours, ..., 5 minutes) and various regression algorithms (Huber regressor, k-nearest neighbors regressor, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, linear regression, and random forest regressor), the study evaluates the effectiveness of each technique in forecasting future price movements. The primary outcomes of the research indicate that the application of ensemble learning methods to the alternate candlestick patterns consistently surpasses the performance of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks across all examined time windows. This suggests that alternate candlestick patterns provide more reliable information for predicting short-term price movements. Additionally, the study highlights the varying behavior of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks over different time window
