The general objective of this article is to analyze the concept of the community mana- ger from an integral perspective. Its impor- tance lies in rethinking the role of community manager since its academic training; contribu- te significantly and substantially to the profes- sional and academic training of the new social communicator; and create an efficient profile for the productive sector from the practical oc- cupation at the business level of the community manager from the problem situation that describes What academic offer exists in Bogo- tá - Colombia for the formation of community manager from the social communication pro- grams? Methodologically a qualitative - des- criptive scheme is followed under the content analysis technique. The proposed result is the design of a training proposal in community manager as an occupational expert in the field of social communication.

In the present work an analysis of the state and towards where the PRAUS university environmental projects are focused will be presented, in the universities that offer their educational services in the city of Monteria and to be able to establish what is their contribution in the resolution of environmental problems of their environment and especially the city. The visits to the university establishments allowed us to approach the approach of these as a mitigation strategy of these problems, through direct contact with the professionals in charge of the management, in the same way the enclosure to the student population and to evaluate their perception, all this will be contrasted with the field information of other stakeholders such as local action boards, non-governmental organizations, public and private institutions that can contribute knowledge to this research. The study will present an x-ray about the dynamics of these projects within the universities and how they are viewed by the communities as strategies to solve their environmental problems. In the same way, this originates a new look towards these strategies, as a milestone of environmental education policy, through the empowerment and social projection of the universities.

Hidroituango is the largest electric megaproject in the history of Colombia, one of the most ambitious draft that the country has undertaken in recent decades. Its implementation aims to generate 2,400 MW of energy, 17% of the country’s total production. Its construction began in 2009 and its operation, expected for 2018, has not started due to alleged geological failures and rainfall effects. At the beginning of 2019, there were landslides, blockages of the tunnels and the closure of the river flow by EPM, which sparked strong debates in the country due to the effects on the populations. Universidad Santo Tomás, seeking to build reflections that contribute to the generation of strategies to face such a critical situation, opened a scenario for Hidroituango’s analysis. The event began with a historical and technical contextualization, but there was no contextualization of the social, economic and political problems experienced by the indigenous communities that have been deslocated from their territories, the loss of social networks and a way of life with knowledge ancestral associated to barequeo, the fishing and the muleteer. The objective of this article is to roll back, in a summary way, the speakers’ responses, starting with the necessary contextualization made from bibliographic revision, which was not possible at the moment, due to time issues, but it is essential for respect to communities whose job was next to be recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage and, instead, they were dispossessed from their lands, their ways of life and subsistence. Needless to say that this article includes only the author’s thinking.

The low academic levels in basic sciences of engineering programs are a factor of inci- dence in the desertion, reason for which the objective of the investigation was oriented to investigate on teaching-learning strategies for teachers and students, and thus mitigate the causes of losses in academic spaces. Initia- lly, learning styles were identified where the use of graphic organizers as a didactic tea- ching-learning strategy in virtual learning environments (AVA) became evident, which most students placed in visual learning. Me- thodologically, research is placed in the educa- tional context, applying both quantitative and qualitative techniques and instruments; The study sample corresponds to students of ma- thematical logic. The results showed relevant aspects for the improvement of the learning of the numerical systems, especially in the con- version. The findings established the graphic organizers as a strategy of consolidation of learning in the teaching of mathematics for engineering programs in AVA.

This article responds to a series of questions and concerns formulated in the Academic Client Server Language (LCS), regarding a specific topic: communication sockets. The academic space LCS belongs to the computer engineering program of the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies of the Department of Open and Distance Education Division (DUAD) of the University of Santo Tomás (USTA).For the development of the research, a lear- ning test was applied in order to identify the most influential learning channel in the group of students in the academic area of Client Ser- ver Language; from this it was identified that the type of audiovisual learning is the most prevalent, therefore, all dialogue held with students by different synchronous (chat), asy- nchronous (forums and email) means and after a face-to-face tutoring session, The inte- raction of the teacher was given by means of examples, where his response was characteri- zed in the way of representing the information through graphic examples, being more effec- tive and understandable for the students, and in this way the learning is facilitated and they are incites to think.

The challenges that education based on vir- tual learning environments imposes on educa- tional institutions that incorporate programs under virtual mediation, require students to build a scenario for the promotion of scientific research that is combined with the reality in which they are immersed. Thus, limitations such as the lack of spaces for interaction and socialization of results, the limited relations- hip with seedbed leaders, the connectivity difficulties that group members who are loca- ted in municipalities with low technological infrastructure may face, are some of the limi- tations that work in seedbeds, under virtual mediation, imply for those who promote the participation of students in research groups of universities. Taking into account the above, the conditions under which the research seedlings proposal is developed with the students of the Systems Engineering program, virtual modali- ty of the Andean Area University Foundation, are presented.

The results of the research are aimed al identi- fying a business model to guide emerging and established entrepreneurial ideas towards the creation of value and innovation in a group of seven women, dedicated to developing jewelry and food crafts businesses. Based on the Participatory Action Research Methodology, the group benefited from a training program and practical work orientations on various to- pics conducive to improving the activities of the individual business. From the initial iden- tification, of collective interests and manage- ment needs of the enterprises, the characteri- zation of the group of women entrepreneurs is in which the difficulties of the enterprises are recognized. Taking into of the enterprises are recognized. Taking into account the guidance of experts, in panels as a primary source, the analysis of theories, business models by the research team, the main variables were deter- mined to define a business model proposal, for local enterprises of Chapinero.

This document discusses the relationships between the university extension processes and society, punctually in micro, small and medium enterprises (hereinafter: MSMEs). It is based on a historical and epistemological approach to the “university extension” construct. Subsequently, a description of the current situation of MSMEs in Colombia and its worldwide references is presented, through which the influence and linkage of university extension with these is revealed. Likewise, a review of the constructs related to virtual learning processes (E-Learning) is carried out to achieve a synthesis of the situation, challenges and new perspectives of the university extension from this approach and its impact on MSMEs.

El cambio acelerado de la tecnología, de la conectividad, así como la inmediatez de la información como resultado del desarrollo de Internet, necesariamente se convierten en herramientas para dar solución a problemas en los más diversos ámbitos y generar valor económico y social; por lo que todos estos cambios han llevado a las personas, y en especial a las nuevas generaciones, a que tengan nuevas expresiones que los llevan a nuevas participaciones como ciudadanos, frente a lo cual, la educación transformadora exige nuevas pedagogías, así como seguir avanzando hacia la democratización de la educación con calidad y a la gestión del conocimiento.

In this article, is presented a panorama about the differences in the academic goals that the students of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University Santo Tomás consider according to their gender. To this end, the academic goals are considered as the reasons that students have to guide their learning, the CEMA academic goal assessment questionnaire designed by T. Hayamizu and B. Weiner (1991) is used and for the analysis of the data the test t-student to determine if there are statistically significant differences.

Achieving excellent indicators in the manage- ment of an organization, is an unlimited inte- rest in fine-tuning the direction in the human component, the provision of teams and wor- king groups, and their interdependence with the individualities of each person; Facilitate the identity and balance between objectives, personal and collective interests, along with organizational objectives and interests.In this way, the organizational climate re- presents a long-term investment for organi- zations, given that human talent is the com- petitive base of companies, along with the development of information systems, the high level of integration and the globalization pro- cess Which has been observed in the last de- cades. Therefore, the need to measure the im- pact of organizational climate to understand the elements, characteristics and variables of organizations is an issue that continues to arouse professional interest and diverse disci- plines, such as political science, anthropology, psychology, among other.It is necessary that in order to carry out the analysis of the various problems on the organizational dynamics given by the social, economic, political and cultural changes that have an impact on the organizational climate, it is necessary to establish processes that lead to the acceptance and appropriation of the Collaborators of the organization, who argue theoretically and empirically with a metho- dology and structure proper to the context of the organization that allows to approach and explain the phenomena that arise from each of the organizational activities, such as change, adaptation and Learning in flexible environ- ments.

This article is a structural component of the process of construction of the management lines for the promotion of reading for research purposes in distance-based university programs with virtual support, be the case, those corresponding to a Business Sciences Unit in Villavicencio (Meta) and the processes related to substantive functions, emphasizing disciplinary research in the application of focus group methodologies for the identification of categories related to reading, the identification of proposals to encourage activities in this regard and the understanding of the importance of reading students in distance learning with virtual support. From the institutional point of view, methodological aspects are identified in relation to the study of disciplines, the development of research activities and the teaching-research relationship in application of a praxeological model.

This article presents the methodological (pedagogical) strategy for teaching learning sports activities, with the use of virtual classrooms and information and communication technologies (ICT). To do this, we will break down everything that frames this knowledge and we will enter to guide the process, in which our study has been developed, in order to analyze the problem that frames the lack of performance of sports and physical activities of students of distance higher education . To do this, we will evaluate a methodological strategy that counteracts the problem against the educational development of students of this modality (distance).

"The Faculty of Science and Technology (FCT) started in 2014 a restructuring process of the research area, reviewing and interrelated the academic spaces that included the research modules to unify their denomination in all the undergraduate programs of the Faculty; likewise, to unify the contents, the number of credits and their orientation; This is because the chairs with the research component were transversal to all the programs; therefore, the union of the mentioned elements was proposed, giving rise to a common line and academic space that would facilitate speaking a general conceptual language at the level of Formative Research in the Faculty, taking advantage of the fact that at that date formative research activities were developed.From the above, the interest arose to collect and analyze how the research process was be- ing carried out in the academic programs of the FCT; as well as knowing the impact of the research proposals that had been carried out; its contribution to the human and integral for- mation of the students; its coherence with the fields of study of academic programs in the period 2005 and 2014 and thus know the evo- lution of research in the Faculty of Science and Technology during this period."
