Psychosocial Problems Faced by Women Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in On-Campus, Open, and Distance Learning Modes at UNAM and Their Impact on Educational Delay and Dropout Rates, Project PAPIIT IN302920.

This project aims to investigate the challenges encountered by women pursuing a psychology degree at UNAM (FES Iztacala, FES Zaragoza, and the Faculty of Psychology) in all three study modes: on-campus, open, and distance learning. The research project stems from the necessity to identify the existing psychosocial issues within each mode of study.

Laboratory of Teaching Technologies SUAyED Psychology Iztacala – SUA Faculty of Psychology UNAM Project PAPIME 302040.

The raison d’être of this project is also based on the need for university professors to incorporate the development of digital learning resources grounded in programs and applications with didactic purposes into their educational practices. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of understanding multimedia language to effectively convey teaching activities.

The educational development projects in which the project team members will participate include:

a) Retention and support program for academic progress in SUA and SUAyED.

b) Creation of virtual practices in psychology and multimedia learning activities.

c) Training of teachers and students in learning and knowledge technologies (LKT).

d) Ongoing seminar on “Education, Technology, and Society.”

e) Case-based simulator.
