Item type:Publication, A comparison between usability evaluation methods: A case study in the e-commerce domain(AHFE International, 2022-01-01)Usability is a quality attribute that nowadays must not be ignored by software development teams. Designing a software product that is difficult to use or understand, where the user is lost, and the achievement of the user’s objectives is prevented, can cause users to choose to use similar alternatives. For this reason, Human-Computer Interaction specialists have developed a set of usability evaluation methods that allow problems to be identified to guarantee an appropriate level of user-friendliness of the application. However, there is a large disagreement between the authors as to which is the best method to use. In this study, the results of two of the most used methods to carry out usability evaluations of software products have been compared: the questionnaire and the heuristic evaluation. On the one hand, the questionnaire has turned out to be the method most used by the scientific community because it is easy to use and does not require much material preparation. However, most questionnaires have been aimed at being answered by end-users. In a previous work, we developed a questionnaire for UX practitioners that in this case has been used for the evaluation of an electronic commerce application. On the other hand, heuristic evaluation is a method where specialists verify compliance with certain principles in the design of the graphical interfaces of a software product. It is also widely used like questionnaires but requires more planning and execution time. In this research, it is possible to evidence the differences in the type of problems that can be identified by each of the methods. In conclusion, it is possible to mention that although a percentage of problems are identified that can only be identified with one or the other method, the recommendation is to use both methods as the results complement each other. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A comparison of accessibility assessment tools in the inspection of an informative government website on the situational status of COVID-19(AHFE International, 2022-01-01)Accessibility is considered a highly relevant quality aspect of software products. However, few websites are designed considering minimum standards that make applications accessible to all people regardless of their capabilities and abilities. Considering that there is a representative percentage of people who experience some form of disability, it is a requirement that government websites that provide information to their citizens meet an appropriate level of compliance. In this study, we report the results obtained from using three accessibility evaluation tools to examine an informative Peruvian government website on the situational status of COVID-19. In addition, the results were compared to determine the differences between the tools. Despite covering the same WCAG standard, the findings demonstrate that the tools evaluate different aspects. Likewise, despite being a government site and being required to comply with a minimum standard of accessibility, the evaluated website lacks some attributes to be accessed by any citizen.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exploring complex thinking in Latin American universities: Comparative analysis between programs and alternative credentials(Routledge, 2024-01-01)Training the high-order competency of complex thinking encompasses addressing its sub-competencies of critical, innovative, scientific and systemic thinking. In this framework, how do the practices of reasoning for complexity in Latin American institutions differ from other regions? This study focused on comparing training practices that promote complex thinking in national and international educational entities through analysis of their programs and alternative professional credentials to identify best educational practices. The comparative education method benchmarked the selected institutions and compared the best educational practices. The four categories of analysis were the philosophical, theoretical, and political components and the educational process. A significant-document analysis was applied to publications found on the websites of 19 educational institutions, and the data were triangulated. The findings accounted for (a) educational institutions seeking to educate individuals who can improve the quality of life in society and contribute to sustainable development, (b) educational practices aimed at developing complex thinking competencies and lifelong learning as essential for new educational models, (c) the collaboration of researchers, faculty, and other stakeholders, and appropriate tools for formative assessment, promoting the development of complex reasoning competencies in changing environments, and (d) educational processes focused on developing high skills, innovation, and digital transformation as essential for designing the future of education. This study is intended to be of value to managers, decision-makers, professors, researchers, and society interested in creating new programs to develop high-level capabilities, such as complex thinking. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Análisis comparativo de la producción académica sobre el pueblo kukama en Brasil y Perú (1992-2025)(Universidad Cientifica del Sur, 2026-06-22)The Kukama are an Amazonian indigenous people who have taken center stage in the tri-border region (Brazil, Peru, and Colombia) amid geopolitical and socio-environmental conflicts, as well as concerns about the disappearance of their language and local practices. This research aims to identify how undergraduate and graduate researchers organized academic research on the Kukama people in Brazil and Peru, based on three axes or categories of analysis: the institutional and educational context, the methodological process, and the areas of interest linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study accessed the national institutional repositories of Brazil (BDTD) and Peru (RENATI) and identified 66 academic works produced over the last three decades (1992-2025): 30 from Brazil and 36 from Peru. We conducted an exploratory literature review using a mixed-methods approach at the comparative level. In conclusion, the main results show that researchers in both countries conducted these studies in the Amazon region, with 5 works by self-identified Indigenous researchers and 61 by self-identified non-Indigenous researchers. A qualitative approach prevails (65.15%, n=43), while the rest employ a quantitative approach (16.67%, n=11) and a mixed approach (18.18%, n=12). In addition, the projects mainly contribute to the following SDGs: Quality Education (SDG 4), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11). Finally, these global goals should be rethought, considering local indigenous epistemologies and practices.
