    This study analyzes the social and work skills and occupational therapy of people with disabilities in the canton of San Pedro de Pelileo. Social and work skills are defined as the ability of workers to perform adequately in their jobs, while occupational therapy is the discipline responsible for promoting autonomy, social participation, and functional adaptation in the face of limitations in vital capacities. Because people with disabilities often experience physical, social, and attitudinal barriers, they also have problems accessing decent work in Ecuador, such as in the canton of Pelileo, where there are around 1,547 inhabitants with some type of disability. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the impact of social and work skills and occupational therapy on people with disabilities in San Pedro de Pelileo. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach at a descriptive level, through the application of a semi-structured interview script of our own design, consisting of 10 open-ended questions that were previously validated by experts and pilot tested. Twenty workers with disabilities from the Municipal GAD participated, who identified understanding instructions, adapting to change, effective communication, punctuality, and teamwork as essential social and work skills, which, together with occupational therapy or family support, strengthened their autonomy, inclusion, and the development of strategies for performing daily activities and at work. In conclusion, the results of the interviews suggest that the combination of social and work skills, family, and occupational therapy interventions had an impact on the interviewees' integration into the workplace. It also highlights the need to strengthen collaborative environments, therapeutic continuity, and awareness in order to achieve real and sustainable integration

    This research aims to critically analyze the perspectives and challenges involved in the regulation of active euthanasia in Ecuador, following the issuance of Constitutional Court Ruling No. 67-23-IN/24. This landmark decision recognizes, for the first time, access to a dignified death as an expression of the rights to autonomy, dignity, and free personal development, representing a significant shift in the country’s legal and bioethical framework. The motivation behind this study lies in the need to establish a legal framework that balances the protection of fundamental rights with the prevailing social values of the country. The research was conducted at an exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, and correlational level, using a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with experts in constitutional law, medicine, bioethics, and a religious representative. This methodology allowed for the comparison of viewpoints from multiple disciplines. The analysis revealed the urgent need for an organic law that clearly defines key concepts and procedures, while ensuring legal safeguards for both professionals and patients involved. Additionally, several challenges were identified, including the lack of infrastructure for palliative care, the shortage of trained personnel, limited bioethical education, and the absence of citizen and professional participation in the drafting of regulations. In conclusion, the regulation of active euthanasia must be accompanied by political will, economic sustainability, and an inclusive public debate to build a comprehensive and rights-based legal framework. This thesis seeks to contribute to the legal and ethical dialogue on dignified death in Ecuador, proposing mechanisms that uphold both individual rights and principles of justice and equity.

    The present study aims to analyze the applicability of mandatory mediation in resolving family, childhood, and adolescence conflicts from a legal and judicial perspective. Its specific objectives are to legally and judicially substantiate the applicability of mandatory mediation in judicial processes involving family, childhood, and adolescence to promote more sustainable and satisfactory agreements; to determine the benefits and challenges of promoting mandatory mediation in these judicial processes; and to establish the legal limits and scope of mandatory mediation in resolving family conflicts from both legal and social perspectives. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive approach, combining bibliographic, documentary, and field methods, using analytical-synthetic and inductive techniques. Interviews were conducted with judges, mediators, and lawyers specialized in family law, guided by a structured interview instrument. Findings reveal that mediation, recognized under Ecuadorian law, can effectively alleviate judicial congestion and foster faster, cost-effective solutions centered on the best interests of the child. However, the mandatory nature of mediation presents tensions with the principle of voluntariness, essential for ensuring genuine agreements and protecting fundamental rights. Comparative experiences from Argentina and Chile indicate that mandatory mediation can expedite processes and reduce judicial burdens but requires a clear regulatory framework, well-trained mediators, and social acceptance to overcome resistance and maintain process quality. In conclusion, mandatory mediation in family, childhood, and adolescence matters in Ecuador is feasible and advantageous, provided public policies are designed to balance efficiency, rights protection, and respect for parties’ autonomy and voluntariness, thereby contributing to a more agile, effective justice system focused on social peace.

    The descriptive research, with a population of 86 students, aims to determine the academic situational motivation in the students of the basic unit of Social Work. The academic situational motivation in students has become a very important issue in education, due to the dropout levels that exist, which becomes a social and family problem. Motivation is considered to be an internal process that drives the person to change, guides behavior and determines an objective. Motivation refers to different reasons that guide human behavior, including both energy and persistence, direction and purpose of behaviors, including actions and intentions. Therefore, it has awakened an interest in the academic field in relation to student performance, to assess motivation it is important to understand what impacts and modulates academic trajectories, in this sense I use the theory of Self-determination because it provides a robust theoretical corpus to address this issue. For the execution of the research, a quantitative approach methodology was used, a previously validated questionnaire was used, for the variable the Academic Motivation Scale instrument was used, made up of dimensions and indicators, amotivation, extrinsic motivation, (external regulation, identified regulation and introjected regulation), intrinsic motivation (intrinsic motivation towards knowledge and intrinsic motivation towards achievement) and stimulating experiences. In the results of the present investigation, evidence that students are at an acceptable level of motivation, therefore, it will be affecting their personal motivation and performance, with respect to extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, students show high levels, which determines that external and internal factors show a regulated and stable behavior, finally, experiences are a fundamental part of emotional development and allow exploring new life situations.
