La metodología responde a un modelo mixto de métodos cualitativo y cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo constituida por 33 docentes que imparten la asignatura de Artes Visuales. Los resultados del análisis cualitativo reportan que las principales dificultades para evaluar la creatividad son cuatro: falta de desarrollo de los sentidos del estudiantado, infraestructura inadecuada, tiempo para elaborar instrumentos de evaluación, necesidad de actualización y especialización en el área artística. Los resultados cuantitativos indican que no existen diferencias significativas en la evaluación de los cuatro criterios de creatividad, así como de variables de género, especialización y años de experiencia en aula.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es caracterizar las plataformas comunicacionales que son utilizadas en el ciberbullying por los estudiantes de enseñanza básica de dos colegios de diferente estrato socioeconómico de la quinta región, Chile. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que tanto para el establecimiento socioeconómico alto como para el establecimiento socioeconómico medio, la plataforma comunicacional más utilizada por los estudiantes de enseñanza básica para hacer ciberbullying es Facebook; mientras que las víctimas señalan que el medio por el cual reciben este tipo de acoso es también Facebook para el caso de los estudiantes del establecimiento socioeconómico medio, y la telefonía celular para los estudiantes del establecimiento socioeconómico alto.

Para medir y cuantificar estas evidencias, se utilizaron modelos econométricos de corte transversal y de panel de datos, empleando información publicada por sociedades anónimas chilenas, entre el período 2001-2009. El estudio demuestra que mientras mayor es la propiedad de las administradoras de fondos de pensiones en las empresas de la muestra, aumenta la revelación de la información; y por otra parte, el efecto del endeudamiento es negativo, es decir, a mayor apalancamiento menor revelación de información.

Relationships can be generated that characterize countries that manage to relate the use of clean energy with GDP, economic openness, and economic growth. We employ a quantitative methodology that utilizes clustering techniques to identify distinct groups of countries based on their susceptibility to climate change impacts. Subsequently, we employ a generalized linear model approach to estimate the investment behaviors of these country groups in alternative energy sources in relation to CO2 emissions and macroeconomic variables. The clusters reveal that the countries grouped in each cluster exhibit significantly distinct behaviors among the clusters. This differentiation is grounded in the countries under analysis, showing the evolution of the countries in terms of the use of clean energy and the emission of CO2 in relation to macroeconomic variables. According to the conducted research, the...

These natural and social disasters are very difficult to control, and despite the multidisciplinary human effort, it has not been possible to create efficient mechanisms to mitigate the effects, and they have become the nightmare of every summer season. This study focuses on forecast models for fire measurements using time-series data from the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture. Specifically, this study proposes a comprehensive methodology of deterministic and stochastic time series to forecast the fire measures required by the programs of the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF). The models used in this research are among those commonly applied for time-series data. For the number of fires series, an Autoregressive Integr...

The contribution of this study is that it evaluates the stages and patterns of Chilean firms’ internationalization by using a value chain activities framework, identifying four categories. The intensity of upstream and downstream business activities allows classifying the mode in each of the four categories. Members of the Sociedad de Fomento Fabril (SOFOFA) answered the survey design for this study. Results illustrate companies' behavior concerning international trade and foresight of further critical issues.

In addition, the importance of the personality construct in the educational and vocational training context was studied. A sample of 235 students from the Construction Engineering and Computer Engineering Schools of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso was used. Through correlation and econometrics analysis, the results obtained indicate that there is a relation between academic performance and the personality traits of extraversion, openness and conscientiousness. In addition, these results led to characterization of students based on their personality traits and provided elements that may enhance the development of an effective personality that allows students to successfully face their environment, playing an important role in the educational process.

An indirect means of measuring information asymmetry is through the spread of stock prices. The purpose of this paper is to identify the explanatory variables and the determinants of the bid-ask spread and to quantify the influence that the actors involved in the brokering of publically offered securities may have over the spread. The methodology used to model the time series for each of the analyzed companies is based on a time series from each of the observed econometric multivariate processes. The analysis shows a significantly negative relationship between the spread and the market-maker size, calculated in terms of both the equity and the stock portfolio; likewise, activity is measured by observing the amount offered for purchase and/or sale.

In the research, the different variables that influence the phenomenon of disability are studied and identified. Through binomial models, the determinants of disability are estimated using the Social Well-being Survey, designed by the Undersecretariat for Social Evaluation of the Ministry of Social Development. The results indicate that factors such as educational level, health conditions, recognition at work, mood and quality of life, significantly indicate the emotional balance of people with disabilities in Chile. This is how the variables related to recognition at work and security at home have the greatest impact on the emotional level of people with disabilities in Chile.

ABC corresponds to a class of computational methods rooted in Bayesian statistics that could be used to estimate the posterior distributions of model parameters. For this research, ABC was applied to estimate the daily prices of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency from May 2013 to December 2021. The findings suggest that the behaviour of the parameters for our tested trading algorithms, in which sudden jumps are observed, can be interpreted as changes in states of the generated time series. Additionally, it is possible to identify and model the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the series analysed in the research. Finally, the main contribution of this research is that we have c...

In Chile, the characterization of minority shareholders is interesting due to the property concentration, the legal framework that protects minority investors, and the accounting rules applied to companies that issue public securities.Thus, this study is descriptive and explanatory in nature and combines primary and secondary information sources. It starts with the characterization of minority shareholders for the 2013 and 2015 terms. Then, a model is proposed to enable the existing relations between the characteristics of such investors and the level of information asymmetry, as measured by the Santiago Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago) shares spread with intraday data for the 2013 term, to be...

It is important, therefore, to develop measurements and quantifiable models of marketing productivity, particularly in the services case, making it possible to understand and evaluate service company performance. Following a review of the literature on the topic, this paper sets forth a Theoretical Model of Marketing Productivity (TMMP), to serve as a base for carrying out measurements of productivity through the identification of possible determinant variables. The TMMP is validated for the case of the retail services companies operating in Spain. The obtained results establish that marketing resources, financial performance, and price all exercise a positive effect on marketing productivity, while market-based assets exercise a negative effect. The implications for service management are that they should control significant facto...

This research provides an approach to understanding how various dimensions and variables interact with quality of life in Chilean communes considering multiple factors and perspectives through information from public sources and social indicators. For the research, variables were analyzed considering demographic, sociodemographic, economics and urban indicators, where the model developed allows for an understanding of how the variables are related. In addition, it was discovered that education, own incomes, municipal spending and green areas directly relate to quality of life, while overcrowding and municipal funds negatively affect rates of communal welfare. Moreover, the variables chosen as explanatory variables allow for the development of an efficiency...

The news agendas deepened and debated the responsibility of the Asian power in the spread of the disease. However, China's international attitude and diplomatic actions based on donations of medical supplies and vaccine development also began to spread. The research uses econometric models in linear probability to determine which are the main variables that explain Chinese public diplomacy in the news of 24 countries. The investigation shows that the western media give China a high level of interference in the origin of the pandemic. However, the results indicate that certain features of Chinese public diplomacy entered significantly in the news that mentioned the Asian giant, spreading a type of international leadership that disputes positions with the global hegemony of the United States.
