“…Regarding competency correlations, a previous study analyzed two different competencies -social entrepreneurship and reasoning for complexity -and found relationships between scientific thinking, self-control, and leadership, and between systemic thinking, social awareness, and social value (Cruz-Sandoval et al, 2023). While their approach used compositional data analysis, we investigated the internal relationships of the complex thinking competency using values assigned by teachers to students under the University's Tec21 Educational Model.…”

Complex thinking competency enhances the high cognitive capacities necessary for the future of education. This study aimed to analyze these capacities through its sub-competencies (critical, systemic, and scientific thinking). We worked with the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining methodology, with an original database of class data of 33,319 unique students, 46 different variables, and a random identification number. The variables were sociodemographic information, academic information, subject admission, competencies, and activities. Statistical analyses identified correlations between competency and sub-competencies. The findings show that 1) critical thinking is strategic in the development of complex thinking and its sub-competencies; 2) Development of Critical Thinking skills early in the curriculum can lead to a cascade effect, enhancing competence and sub-competence development; and 3) an overall performance encompasses the semester results. The study is of value to the academic, technological, and social communities to provide opportunities for the design and implementation of challenging scenarios for the future of education.

“…In today's uncertain, flexible, and changing society, these skills are essential for those who must adapt to the challenges of their environment, making this competency relevant in university training processes (Hiver et al 2022). Complex thinking and its sub-competencies collectively allow individuals to combine knowledge, experiences, and practices to analyze information from multiple sources and identify patterns and relationships to generate new ideas and solutions (Cruz-Sandoval et al 2023a).…”

This article presents the results of measuring the perceived achievement of complex thinking competency in a group of university students enrolled in a subject about Mexican cultural education. Specifically, the work intended to identify whether there is a correlation between the level of complex thinking and its sub-competencies with the appropriation of cultural knowledge. The sample population of university students from different disciplines took the subject “Imaginarios Culturales de México (Cultural Imaginaries of Mexico)”. The descriptive methodology analyzed the means of the students’ responses on a validated instrument measuring their perceived achievement of complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The questionnaire instrument was implemented at the beginning and end of the course without making a specific intervention. In conclusion, the research identified a statistically significant correlation between both variables, demonstrating that cultural training correlates with students’ perceived achievement of complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. These results contribute to both the educational theory associated with the development of formative tools of competencies and skills, as well as the revaluation of cultural appropriation as a relevant formative element in lifelong learning.

“…engagement, both benefit from the presence of a balance between task ans individual skills (Cruz-Sandoval et al, 2023;Fresta et al, 2023) . The students that find academic activities neither too easy or too difficult are more likely to experience flow and feel committed with their learning.…”

Purpose: To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the existing literature on academic engagement in order to quantify academic output, identify influential authors and journals, and assess the temporal evolution of research, providing a comprehensive bibliometric perspective with guidance for future studies in the academic field. Theoretical framework: Through a systematic search in academic databases, relevant studies about student commitment and motivation in educational contexts were identified. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology has a descriptive and exploratory approach, 816 articles were reviewed. By analyzing bibliometric indicators, it was revealed a constant growth in research in this field over the last decades, proving a growing interest in understanding and enhancing student participation in their learning process. Findings: The study identified an evolution on research themes, going from individual factors such as motivation to broader contextual issues, such as the impact of technology on the engagement and educational quality. The influence of key authors and institutions in shaping the field was highlighted, as well as a multidisciplinary approach encompassing psychology, education, medicine, and educational technology. Research, Practical & Social implications: This bibliometric study offers a panoramic and updated vision of academic engagement research. Originality/value: Its findings offer a solid foundation to future investigations and enrich the comprehension of how student participation and motivation contributes to a more meaningful learning and the improvement of educational systems.
