Bottom-up in the planning of sustainable tourism: the case of the communities of the Santa Fe littoral in Ecuador
Tourism constantly generates a series of interrelationships that induce planners to propose actions that satisfy both local stakeholders and applicants, and that, through appropriate management approaches, mitigate the negative impacts of the segregated model that are often found in different coastal destinations. In this context, it is intended to define a tourism planning model in communities of Santa Elena that integrate public policies, aspects of sustainability, democracy and endogeneity, therefore, it was necessary to take the bottom-up approach, attributing the importance of community members in the empowerment of sustainable planning processes and their contribution in the conversion of territory to tourist destination in the context of its potentialities; Consequently, a cross-sectional exploratory-descriptive research methodological process is attributed, which was developed in four stages: bibliographic review, analysis of perception of tourism and its planning, design of the model and its assessment. As a result, an integrated model based on a concrete methodology and indicators is presented, which, articulated by its actors, guides tourism planning from the conception and use of endogenous and exogenous resources.
Distribution Channels and the decision to expand them: An approach from the Industrial Organization
Conventional distribution channels have been challenged by new technologies that change consumer habits The purpose of this article is to investigate the problem that exists between producers and distributors regarding the decision to open online distribution channels in addition to the existing traditional one. Previous research has approached the decision to open a new distribution channel only from the point of view of marketing operations research, while this study starts from the organizational point of view. Through a systematic literature review, taking into consideration the evolution of modern distribution concepts and practices, a theoretical framework based on game theory, especially collaborative games, was developed. Applying a simulated case, it was observed that Nash equilibrium and backward induction in dynamic games is the best approach to face the decision of opening a new online distribution channel. This research was based on the retail sector, and it is suggested to extend it to other sectors, such as services. The theoretical framework developed will help decision makers to have a broader and better structured approach to opening new online distribution channels.

Process of building academic domains in a higher education institution: Methodological proposal
The research analyzes the process of building academic domains at the Catholic University of Cuenca, focusing on strategic planning and articulating the substantive functions of teaching, research, and linkage with society. The problem arises from a lack of a methodological model that defines academic domains aligned with institutional capacities and current socio-educational demands. The main objective was to implement a methodology based on an algorithm, identifying patterns and relationships between key variables, teacher training, research results, physical-technological infrastructure, and academic offerings to strengthen institutional capacities. The method is based on synthetic analytics, starting from an analysis focused on reviewing data to find patterns and relationships between variables. This approach allows the identification of underlying causes that are not evident, facilitating informed decision-making. The data were organized in a matrix fashion, and set intersection operations were applied to the Venn diagram representations. The results show that 60% of the teachers have PhDs, and the remaining 40% have master's degrees and relevant experience. The need for new certification programs, greater external collaboration in research, and the acquisition of specialized laboratory equipment was identified. The strength of the evaluated area reached an index of 80%. In conclusion, the academic domains constitute a structured framework that facilitates institutional planning and strengthens educational quality, integrating teacher training, research, and infrastructure in response to social and academic demands

Learning matrices and socio-educational processes in the Plaza del Mercado de Abastos Compostelana
This article analyzes the educational processes in the Mercado de Abastos of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, an environment representative of Galician culture and popular education. This historic square, organized through educational dynamics woven into tradition and through shared learning matrices, constitutes a commercial, cultural, labor, and social space where social agents develop experiences that strengthen these dynamics. The article's objective is to present some key tools of the collective process of learning and knowledge, constructed and employed based on the historical and everyday relationships of the people who work in the Plaza. To this end, a qualitative methodology with a historical-social analytical approach was used from an ethnographic perspective focused on ethnoknowledge, which allowed for the description of teaching and learning processes (teaching). The shared learning matrices form the basis of educational methods and the historical dynamics that underpin daily practices. These are articulated around three fundamental tools of knowledge: Galician culture, rural identity, and the search for survival. The study focuses on understanding how the tourist and educational dynamics and the shared learning matrices in the Plaza contribute to the development of popular and collaborative education, promoting meaningful and contextualized learning that combines tradition and modernity

Relationship between Leadership Management and Work Climate in an educational institution
Both leadership management and educational work environment are key components in deploying educational quality. Despite the recognized importance of educational management and leadership, these aspects are lacking in different educational institutions in Ecuador. The objective was to determine the relationship between the perceptions of teachers and managers on institutional leadership management and the educational work environment of the Santiago Apóstol Fiscomisional Educational Unit in the 2023 - 2024 school year. This study is a cross-sectional correlational study with a mixed approach. Data were collected through qualitative and quantitative techniques, specifically surveys and interviews. The survey was validated using Cronbach's alpha test as a reliability indicator. The population consisted of twenty-seven teachers and five directors of the institution. The results were analyzed using Pearson's coefficient. There is a significant correlation between leadership management and work climate; however, weaknesses were found in both topics. There is a need to strengthen leadership management so that it can be conveniently related to the work climate and the educational quality required by the Ministry of Education can be achieved

A pilot study of note-taking: speed and forms of writing in three schools
This work analyzes whether writing modalities (cursive or print) and pencil grip influence writing speed and the ability to take notes in class. The study, conducted in 2024 in Salto and Paysandú (Uruguay), included 145 participants between 12 and 60 years of age, with educational levels ranging from elementary school to university level. Factors associated with the relationship between writing speed and writing style in different age groups were analyzed. For this purpose, three texts containing 100, 50, and 35 words read in one minute were dictated. The way of holding the pencil, the writing modality, and the use of abbreviations were documented using photographs. The results show that the average writing speed is 50 words per minute, lower than the expected 80. It was evidenced that the older participants tended to use the classic gripper to hold the pencil, while the younger ones presented significant deviations. In terms of writing style, cursive predominates in the older groups, while print is more common in the younger ones. These findings suggest a transformation in the writing skills of Uruguayan students, which could have implications for teaching and learning processes. The need for more detailed studies to understand these trends and their educational impact is highlighted

Theoretical review on educational innovation: Analysis of contemporary academic perspectives
The article reviews the concept of educational innovation by analyzing theoretical definitions from various authors and organizations. Throughout the text, definitions from Macanchí-Pico et al., (2020), Martínez-Bonafé and Rogero-Anaya (2021), Prendes-Espinosa and Cerdán-Cartagena (2021), Orrego-Tapia (2022), Barragán-Perea (2023), Fuerte (2024), Rodríguez-Barboza et al. (2023), Bautista (2024), Rodríguez-Rodríguez (2024) and Vaca-Rueda and Sánchez-Soriano (2024), to identify both their strengths and limitations. The analysis reveals that many definitions tend to restrict educational innovation to technological and methodological aspects without considering broader dimensions of the educational process. It is argued that a deeper understanding of innovation should include cultural change and a comprehensive pedagogical approach, considering the educational act's cultural, social, and emotional dimensions. The theoretical review seeks to contribute to an academic discourse that promotes more inclusive and transformative educational practices capable of facing the challenges of the contemporary educational context. The article concludes with a call to redefine educational innovation beyond technical approaches, proposing a vision encompassing a significant change in pedagogical practice and teacher training.
