(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Ordoñez Clavijo, Jeison Stiven*; Perlaza Lucumi, Jhanpier Sleyde**; Madroñero Liñan, Karen Ximena***; Avendaño Rodríguez, Luis Alfredo (Director)
This reflective article aims to analyze, from a critical and proactive perspective, the strategies that teachers can implement to address school indiscipline in eighth-grade classrooms. This issue remains a constant challenge in educational institutions, impacting the quality of teaching, classroom coexistence, and the comprehensive development of students. The paper identifies the main causes of disruptive behavior, including lack of motivation, family conditions, adolescence-related changes, unclear classroom rules, and the insufficient training of novice teachers in classroom management. Based on bibliographic review, teaching practice experiences, and contextual analysis, the article proposes various formative strategies focused on prevention, dialogue, the construction of agreed-upon rules, the use of participatory methodologies, and the development of socio-emotional skills. It also highlights the importance of institutional support for beginning teachers. The article suggests that indiscipline should not be viewed solely as a threat to teacher authority but rather as an opportunity to transform educational dynamics toward more empathetic, participatory, and respectful environments. It concludes that approaching indiscipline from a formative perspective strengthens school coexistence, fosters meaningful learning, and contributes to building more humane and inclusive educational communities.
La coordinación óculo manual como herramienta para el desarrollo motriz en estudiantes de primaria, Colombia
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Guerrero Tamayo, Jeferson Jesús; Hurtado Hurtado, Cristhian Andrés; Rivera Hurtado, Ferney (Director)
Hand-eye coordination is a skill that, although often overlooked, has a profound impact on children's overall development. From tying shoelaces to writing in a notebook, this skill allows the eyes and hands to work together to perform precise and controlled tasks. The main objective is to reflect on the importance of developing hand-eye coordination in elementary school students and early childhood education. It is very helpful for future generations to address these topics and plan ideas to develop these skills effectively. Reflecting on the importance of hand-eye coordination from an educational perspective allows children to progressively improve in their everyday activities, such as cutting, writing, coloring, and playing. This allows them to have greater social integration; by mastering these skills, they can confidently participate in games, group projects, and artistic activities. Through this reflection, we can conclude that there is little importance and understanding of visual-motor learning. We face constant challenges where little attention is paid to the first stage. This is where human beings develop their cognitive thinking and their corporeality. These are closely linked, as is hand-eye coordination.
Reflexión crítica del ejercicio físico como medicina preventiva en el adulto mayor
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Bravo Arcos, Davinson Andrés; Mamian Mamian, Andrés David; Potosí López, Jhon Alexander; Rivera Hurtado, Ferney (Director)
The article presents a critical reflection on physical exercise as a preventive medicine strategy during aging, emphasizing its essential role in promoting an active, autonomous, and healthy life among the elderly population. It acknowledges that the aging process entails physiological, cognitive, and emotional transformations that may negatively affect functionality and quality of life. In this context, regular physical activity is positioned as an effective intervention to mitigate multisystem deterioration, prevent chronic diseases, and strengthen overall well-being. Furthermore, the text highlights that the benefits of exercise go beyond the physical realm, positively influencing mental health and the psychosocial dimension. Indeed, physical activity contributes to emotional regulation, reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, and decreases social isolation. However, the article identifies structural barriers—social, economic, and cultural—that hinder equitable access for older adults to appropriate and contextualized exercise programs. From a preventive and health promotion perspective, the need to incorporate physical exercise as an inherent component of lifestyle from early stages of the life cycle is proposed, in order to foster functional autonomy and reduce dependency levels in old age. In this regard, it is argued that public policies should aim to create inclusive and accessible environments, especially in rural areas and historically marginalized communities. In conclusion, the article reaffirms that the systematic and personalized practice of physical exercise is a key factor for healthy aging, becoming a fundamental necessity rather than an optional choice, in the pursuit of preserving quality of life in the elderly stage.
Obesidad en básica primaria de la Institución Monseñor Ramon Arcila. Análisis teórico para una reflexión
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Barón Quiroz, Juan Pablo; Herrera Guzmán, Juan Manuel; Santacruz Pérez, Meyer; Rivera Hurtado, Ferney (Director)
Childhood obesity represents a growing problem in educational institutions, especially at the primary school level. At the Monsignor Ramón Arcila Institution, this phenomenon has emerged as an urgent challenge affecting the overall well-being of students. The objective of this reflection was to analyze the causes of obesity at the institution and critically consider how the educational community can contribute to its prevention and control. The analysis identified multiple factors that contribute to the rise in childhood obesity, such as poor eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, excessive use of electronic devices, and socioeconomic limitations. According to the World Health Organization, these factors are closely related to unhealthy lifestyles that begin at an early age. Their long-term consequences were also recognized, ranging from metabolic and cardiovascular diseases to emotional distress and poor academic performance. Based on this reflection, the need for intervention within the school environment was highlighted, promoting nutritional education, encouraging physical activity, and revising the school menu. Studies have shown that contextualized school interventions can have a significant impact on reducing childhood obesity. The conclusion is that addressing childhood obesity requires a comprehensive approach that involves the entire educational community. Only through collective, sustained, and contextualized actions will it be possible to improve students' quality of life and ensure their physical, emotional, and academic development.
El deporte como herramienta para combatir la soledad en el adulto mayor: Un análisis reflexivo
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Murillo Castro, Miguel Ángel; Lara Bermudez, Alejandro; López Quintana, Julián (Director)
Loneliness and social isolation are significant risk factors that directly affect the mental and emotional health of older adults, negatively influencing their overall well-being and quality of life. This reflective article aims to analyze the role that sport and physical activity play as effective tools to mitigate the effects of loneliness in this population. Based on a critical review of scientific studies and practical experiences, it is identified that regular participation in physical activities not only improves physical fitness but also promotes social interaction, reinforces self-esteem, and strengthens community ties. Evidence shows a positive relationship between sports practice and emotional well-being, especially when these activities are accompanied by social support networks and spaces that foster inclusion. Furthermore, sport is revealed to be a low-cost, high-impact psychosocial strategy, capable of generating environments of emotional support and active participation in old age. It is concluded that promoting sports should be considered a priority in the design of public policies aimed at older adults, given its potential to reduce loneliness, foster resilience, and improve quality of life during the aging process.
