“…En otros casos se han desarrollado artefactos que miden los niveles de ansiedad mediante la simulación de situaciones estresantes (Tapia et al, 2018). También se tiene evidencia de que los estudiantes mantienen la idea de que las profesoras son más afectuosas que los profesores, lo anterior se refuerza únicamente por los estereotipos de género, por lo que se supone que su desempeño se relaciona con lo anteriormente expuesto.…”

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de estudiar las relaciones entre la inteligencia emocional y cinco factores que analizan la práctica docente en profesores de posgrado para identificar su comportamiento de acuerdo con el género, la escolaridad, la pertenencia al Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI). Se trata de un estudio transversal cuantitativo; se aplicaron dos instrumentos: el primero mide la inteligencia emocional y el segundo estudia la práctica docente, la muestra productora de datos es de 200 profesores. Se concluye que a mayor grado académico y nivel dentro del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, diversos elementos de la práctica docente se desdibujan.

BACKGROUND The mental health of children and adolescents is a growing public health concern, with increasing rates of depression and anxiety impacting their emotional, social, and academic well-being. In Japan, access to timely psychiatric care is limited, leading to extended waiting periods that can range from three months to a year. AI-driven chatbots, such as emol, which integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), show potential as digital solutions to support young patients during these waiting times. The AI chatbot emol was selected based on a comprehensive review of Japanese mental health technology applications, including in-person evaluations with company representatives. METHODS This exploratory, parallel-group randomized controlled trial examined the feasibility of using AI chatbot emol with pediatric and adolescent individuals on psychiatric waiting lists. Participants aged 12-18 years were recruited from four hospitals in Kanagawa Prefecture and randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving eight weekly chatbot sessions, or a control group, receiving standard mental health information. The primary outcome was change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores from pre- to post-intervention. Secondary assessments, such as voice and writing pressure analysis, provided additional engagement metrics, with data collected at baseline, during the intervention, and at week 9. FINDINGS Of the 96 eligible individuals on psychiatric waiting lists, eight expressed interest, and three provided initial consent. However, all participants subsequently withdrew or were excluded, resulting in no evaluable data for analysis. Low engagement may have been influenced by the perceived irrelevance of digital tools, complex protocols, and privacy concerns． CONCLUSION Significant barriers to engagement suggest that digital interventions may need simpler protocols and trusted environments to improve feasibility. Future studies could test these interventions in supportive settings, like schools or community centers, to enhance accessibility and participation among youth. FUNDING This study was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) Grant Number JPMJPF1234. The funder had no role in study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or manuscript submission decisions.

Sensorised Low-Cost Pencils for Developing Countries: A Quantitative Analysis of Handwriting Learning Progress in Children with/without Disabilities from a Sustainable Perspective

et al. 2020

Learning to write is a demanding endeavour that requires a combination of linguistic, motor and cognitive skills. Some children suffer from delay or inability to acquire those skills, which often hampers their performance at school and brings about serious consequences for self-esteem, personal expectations and social relationships. The situation worsens in developing countries, due to the lack of resources and specialised personnel. With this background, this paper describes an experiment with a newly-developed sensorised pencil with triangular prism shape, which is shown to yield substantial improvements in children with/without special education needs. A team of experts in the areas of speech therapy, occupational therapy, educational psychology, physiotherapy and pedagogy have expressed very positive opinions about the sensorised pencil and the accompanying software for the acquisition and analysis of quantitative data about handwriting. Furthermore, the device stands out for its low cost in comparison with similar developments, which is a key factor to aid children from low-income families. This fact is explained with a success story of manufacturing and delivering sensorised pencils in the Ecuadorian province of Azuay, framed in a multi-layer sustainable development perspective based on collaboration of several institutions and individuals.
