The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the Tic-mediated Cognitive Training Program (PECgM-TIC), on the levels of development of cognitive processes: memory, attention, perception, speed and reasoning and academic performance in the area of language and mathematics, of the 8th grade students of the Las Nieves District Educational Institution headquarters 2, of the Barranquilla District department of Atlántico-Colombia. For the purposes of this research, a mixed study is carried out, combining the qualitative approach, case study design with the quantitative approach, quasi-experimental design, aimed at a diverse sample of 24 students in 8th grade of Basic education, at The PECgM-TIC Program is applied during 15 sessions in pencil and paper and 15 sessions on the online platform. The triangulation of data and the analysis and interpretation of the same evidence at the level of development of cognitive processes a significant advance in the skills of Memory, Coordination and Reasoning, it is evident that this increase has a significant impact on impulsive behavior, providing them with the improvement in self-regulation when facing tasks and giving way to thinking before decisionmaking when solving problems. Regarding the levels of cognitive development, the group obtained a level of understanding of the Relational type, mostly, followed by the expanded Abstract level, which shows a high level of understanding according to the SOLO taxonomy, domains that favored the levels of performance in the Language and Mathematics areas.

The purpose of this research is to understand the social representations that students and teachers of the Morindó Santafé Institution have about the school, located in the rural area of Montería - Colombia. The research had a qualitative approach and the participants were 15 students and 10 teachers. The techniques used were observation, drawing and graphic design, and the questionnaire. The results showed the students a school associated with their physical and rural environment, where technology becomes a window to the outside world. For their part, teachers show the precariousness and neglect of rural schools and their poor working conditions; portrayed mainly in the lack of classrooms and poor administrative management, which in his opinion is not focused on the development of academic processes, which is the duty of the school; situation that leads to the need to rebuild and reconfigure the concept of school in this institution. This led to a proposal for intervention and shared vision of the PEI Institutional Educational Project focused on the context of this community

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated tasks strategy from the area of mathematics in the development of economic, financial and civic competencies in seventh grade students of the Garzon Educational Institution. The Integrated Tasks strategy was designed and implemented from the area of mathematics for the development of economic, financial and citizen skills. The study is of quantitative approach and is framed within the quasiexperimental design with two intact groups (experimental with 22 students and control with 22). The instruments were the pre-test questionnaire before the intervention and the post-test at the end. Comparisons of means were made with student's t for related and independent samples (intra and inter-group). The results obtained could establish that the implementation of the strategy allowed to substantially improve the economic, financial and civic competences of the experimental group in comparison with the results of the control group, as well as allowing the appropriation of theories, contents and knowledge giving significant learning, with the that, the student faces in a better way everyday situations and not everyday ones.
