Methodology: For the study, a systematic review of the available literature was developed through a Research Analysis Matrix (RAI) to examine the notion of community empowerment and its relationship with sex workers in Latam, in coherence with a conceptual theoretical framework that has Community Psychology and gender studies as its central axis, the applicability of community empowerment resulting from the intersectionality of sex workers in Latin American contexts is discussed. Conclusion: Sex work was understood as a concept of resignification, which has given rise to vindicating visions translated into an exercise of female empowerment by allowing them access to resources that can help their transformation at the individual, community and social levels.","PeriodicalId":40337,"journal":{"name":"Revista Pensamiento Americano","volume":"9 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135166153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: The objective of this article is to analyze how the Learning by Doing methodology is related to the academic performance of business administration students. Methodology: the comparison of the final grades of two groups of students is proposed: group A made up of a sample of 34 students (control group that took the subject in the first semester of 2022, in the traditional way) and group B (experimental group that took the subject in the second semester of 2022 under the aforementioned methodology) made up of a sample of 29 students. Likewise, group B was measured at two moments (before and after having participated in learning by doing activities) with a pre and post test. Results: The results showed an improvement in the grades of group B, additionally an improvement in leadership, innovation and creativity skills was observed in the students of this group.

This is one of the main challenges for the National Development Plan 2018- 2022, focused on peace, equity and education. Objective: Identify the challenges in terms of educational inequality that Colombia faces, especially among the young population and considering factors such as the intergenerational transmission of educational inequalities. Methodology: the article obeys a research carried out under the analytical empirical paradigm, a quantitative design and a type of explanatory research. The data were obtained from secondary information and collected by the National Department of Statistics, processed from the purification of the database and analyzed by using the Inequality Slope Index. Results: The general result indicates that the educational inequality gap between young people from different social strata has increased between 2011 and 2016, and that there is a positive correlation between the years of schooling of parents and their children, which validates the transmission hypothesis. intergenerational educational inequalities.In addition, it was possible to establish that young people who study in private institutions have a higher probability of completing ten years of schooling than those in official schools. Conclusion: In short, little progress has been made in terms of social defragmentation and better education can have a positive impact on future generations.","PeriodicalId":40337,"journal":{"name":"Revista Pensamiento Americano","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135826505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
