The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of sports games in
the improvement of the speed of displacement of first year students of the Unified
General High School in the “Sagrada Familia” Educational Unit, during the period
March-July 2025. Through a quantitative approach and a pre-experimental design, the
T-Drill Test was applied before and after an intervention based on sports games, to a
sample of 30 randomly selected students. The intervention was developed during six
months, with a weekly session, integrated to the Physical Education classes.
The results obtained show a significant improvement in the speed of
movement. The average time recorded in the test went from 9.48 seconds in the pretest
to 9.03 seconds in the post-test. In addition, the percentage of students placed in the
“Excellent” level increased from 63.3% to 86.7%, while the “Low” levels disappeared
and the ‘Average’ and “Good” levels were reduced. Statistical analysis using the
related samples t-test yielded a value of p = 0.000, indicating a statistically significant
difference between pre- and post-intervention measurements.
In conclusion, sports games proved to be an effective pedagogical strategy to
develop the ability to move in adolescents. Its systematic incorporation into the
Physical Education curriculum is recommended, together with regular follow-up by
means of a physical education instrument.
Statistical analysis using the related samples t-test yielded a value of p = 0.000,
indicating a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention
measurements.

The present research examines the incidence of the technical fundamentals of futsal
in relation to the oculo-motor coordination of the students of Higher General Basic
Education of the La Salle Educational Unit, in the academic period March-July 2025.
It appears as a response to the need to add some innovative pedagogical strategies
that maximize motor development in the educational context. The study was carried
out under a quantitative approach, with a pre-experimental design with an
explanatory scope. The sample consisted of 30 students selected by non-probabilistic
sampling. The focal instrument used was the 3JS motor coordination test, which
made it possible to evaluate the level of eye-motor coordination before and after the
intervention. This research developed a training program based on the technical
fundamentals of futsal, directed in 6 weeks in physical education classes. The results
showed great differences in all the variables studied, such as precision striking,
driving and eye-motor coordination.
The statistical analysis showed significant differences between the pre and post-test
intervention values with a value of (p = 0.000), which certifies the effectiveness of
the proposal. In addition, it was observed that 96.7% of the students overcame the
low level, reaching high average results at the end of the program.
As a main conclusion, it is decided that futsal in pedagogical applications and from a
well-structured methodological approach, reaches a positive impact on the
development of eye-motor coordination. It is recommended to add this discipline to
the school curriculum as an effective tool to reinforce motor skills and favor
significant learning.

(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Turismo, 2025-07-04) Santamaría Sánchez Cynthia Paola; Hidalgo Salazar Christian Andrés; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Turismo
The analysis of recreational activities is of great importance as it covers several topics
related to tourism and education. Therefore, its objective is to investigate the
relationship between recreational activities and millennial tourism in the urban area of
Ambato, in order to identify the city's recreational offerings and its millennial segment
preferences. The importance of the study lies in implementing a recreational activity
to attract this segment that seeks innovative, sustainable, technological, and authentic
experiences through experiences that connect with the interests of this segment, who
prioritize their needs based on interaction during their trips. The methodology applied
in the research is based on a mixed approach, with a descriptive research scope. In
addition, instruments such as observation sheets visiting museums, country houses,
parks, and shopping centers were used for direct observation of existing recreational
activities, and surveys were applied to 250 people from the millennial segment based
on age range, in order to analyze and observe their tourism preferences. Results show
that Ambato has a wide range of cultural and environmental tourism offerings,
however, it is not aligned with the preferences and expectations of this segment. Based
on the data obtained, an escape room based on Ambato's history and culture is
proposed. This room will involve solving puzzles using technology, aiming to innovate
the city's tourism offerings.

(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte, 2025-07-04) Andachi Rivera Erick Alejandro; Mocha Bonilla Julio Alfonso; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte
The study entitled “Physical activity in the self-esteem of General Unified
Baccalaureate students” had as its primary objective to determine the impact of
physical activity on the self-esteem levels of first-year BGU students at the “Sagrada
Familia” Educational Unit in the canton of Ambato. To this end, a pre-experimental
study with a quantitative approach was conducted, in which the Rosenberg Test was
administered in a PRE and POST period to a six-month intervention program based
on physical activity. The sample consisted of 30 students, selected through nonprobabilistic convenience sampling. The methodology considered empirical and
statistical techniques, implementing a descriptive and inferential analysis using SPSS
software. During the pretest stage, it was identified that 56.7% of the students had
low or medium levels of self-esteem. After the intervention, a significant change was
evident: 93.3% achieved high levels of self-esteem, and none remained at the low
level. The results validated the alternative hypothesis, confirming that regular
physical activity has a positive impact on adolescents' self-esteem. The increase in
test scores and the shift from low to high levels reiterate the favorable impact of the
intervention. In conclusion, physical activity is established as a comprehensive
educational tool that not only benefits physical development but also strengthens
students' emotional and social well-being.

(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte, 2025-07-04) Bustillos Freire Erick Steven; Sánchez Guerrero Mentor Javier; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte
The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of the use of active video games
(exergames) with kinesthetic feedback in the development of general dynamic
coordination in Elementary General Basic Education students. This study is based on
the obligation to innovate the pedagogical methods of physical education through
interactive technologies that encourage body movement and contribute to motor
learning. This study was carried out by means of a quantitative methodology, with a
pre-experimental field design, through the application of an intervention plan with a
duration of six weeks with a population selected by coexistence sampling of 14
students. The ball zigzag test was used to evaluate the general dynamic coordination
before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS
software, determining some significant differences in the levels of general dynamic
coordination with a value of (p = 0.000). The results showed a substantial
improvement, with 28.6% of the group focusing on a high level of coordination, while
this figure rose to 71.4%. All students showed progress, being essentially noticeable
in some students who were at low or medium levels.
In conclusion, this research demonstrated that adding exergames with kinesthetic
feedback positively affects the development of students' overall dynamic coordination.
This proposal not only makes physical education classes more dynamic but rather is
an alternative to develop basic motor skills for children. Systematic implementation in
educational contexts is recommended, with adjustments in the pedagogical design in
the school environment, in order to maximize coordination, motivation and
participation of students.

(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Psicopedagogía, 2025-07-04) Toa Pacha Cristina Belén; Gavilanes López Wilma Lorena; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Psicopedagogía
The purpose of this research project was to analyze the relationship between the use of
technological tools and the development of logical thinking in sixth-grade students at the "Gonzales
Suarez" Educational Unit. To this end, a sample of 46 students was used. Regarding the
methodology, a mixed-method approach was adopted, which allowed for a more complete and
enriching data collection. The methodology was field-based and bibliographic-documentary, based
on exploratory, descriptive, and correlational levels. The theoretical foundation for the variables was
then developed, and various instruments were applied to assess the development of logical thinking.
A curricular competency test (PCC) was used, which was administered to students through a pre-test
and a post-test. The intervention was based on the planned application of technological tools such as
Educaplay and Liverwork. Subsequently, the TAM Model questionnaire was used to determine the
level of technological acceptance of these tools. For statistical analysis, the Student t-test for related
samples and the nonparametric Wilcoxon test were used, which showed a significant difference
between the pre-test and post-test results. The findings allowed us to accept the alternative
hypothesis, demonstrating that the appropriate use of digital tools positively impacts the
development of logical thinking in students. This confirms that the timely and strategic
implementation of technological resources contributes significantly to strengthening skills within the
classroom.

The traditional gastronomy of Ambato is a living cultural manifestation that
transmits identity through its flavors, techniques and local products, while the tourist
experience evaluates the visitor's perception when interacting with the destination's
environment. When integrated, both variables strengthen the cultural connection
between tourists and the place visited, we propose to investigate the culinary culture
and its impact on the tourist experience during the Fiesta de la Fruta y de las Flores.
It was developed under a quantitative approach, non-experimental and crosssectional design. Two instruments were used to collect the data: for the “culinary
culture”, the Food Atlas cards to record the primary products and the elaboration of
typical dishes; for the “tourist experience” variable, a structured survey with a Likert
scale applied to 203 visitors was used. The data were analyzed in the SPSS program
and the Chi-square test, the results showed that the gastronomy of the city of Ambato
generates satisfaction in tourists and awakens interest in learning more about the
destination. It was concluded that the culinary culture has a positive influence on the
visitor's experience and its incorporation into the event contributes to improving the
competitiveness of the destination.
