Today, financial education has established itself as an essential tool to promote people's economic well-being. Its importance is particularly relevant in the most vulnerable population, since knowledge about money management and an understanding of basic financial concepts can significantly influence their personal and professional future.
This study focuses on the workers of the company Asociación de Recicladores Reciclando por Colombia ESP located in the city of Bogotá, who face key financial decisions on a daily basis that can have a lasting impact, such as the use of credit, savings or the management of daily expenses. In this context, the purpose of this research is to design a pedagogical proposal that can be adapted to facilitate teaching and learning processes in financial education, aimed at workers in the recycling sector in vulnerable situations. It also seeks to identify strategies that contribute to improving their economic stability and promoting a responsible financial culture.
To contextualize the study, a review of the existing theoretical contributions was used, which allow us to identify the importance of financial education. As Raccanello & Herrera (2014) point out, greater financial education allows for better choices in investment, savings and debt, positively influencing quality of life.
For this reason, it is important to highlight the Colombian case, as Ortega (2022) points out, the concept of financial education is relatively recent. Only from the twenty-first century onwards does it begin to have a more systematic development, driven by the need to confront the low levels of financial knowledge in the population, low banking penetration and irresponsible indebtedness. For this reason, it has been accompanied by public policies, strategic plans and alliances with the private sector, although there is still a long way to go to ensure its effective and equitable implementation in all sectors of society. This allows us to infer that there are still important challenges in the teaching and learning of financial education. From a practical perspective, formal financial education in Colombia faces multiple challenges. According to the OECD (2024), more than half of the population lacks basic financial knowledge, such as managing credit, calculating interest rates, or properly managing their personal finances. This lack of training is reflected in financial behaviors that limit economic development, evidenced by low levels of savings and high levels of indebtedness.
The objective of this preliminary project is to design a pedagogical proposal for the teaching of financial education, mediated by technological resources, which contributes to the limited social inclusion of the workers of the company Association of Recyclers Recycling for Colombia ESP, located in the city of Bogotá. Since it is part of a small segment of the population, characterized by conditions of vulnerability associated with factors such as educational level and socioeconomic status.
The present research adopted a qualitative approach, focused on the deep understanding of the experiences and perceptions of the participants. As a method, the case study is used, taking into account that it is a valuable research tool and its greatest strength is that through it the behavior of the people who participate in the phenomenon studied can be measured and recorded, and the data obtained can come from various sources. The techniques used correspond to a survey applied directly to the target group and a semi-structured interview, these techniques together allow us to ask open questions, which the participant can solve in their own words and this allows us to develop greater analysis and depth in the study.
The structure of the preliminary draft consists of several chapters. In an initial stage, the problem question and the objectives are highlighted, a frame of reference in which the theoretical and conceptual are developed, with special emphasis on the importance of financial education and recognizing some statistics that accompany the need for teaching and learning it. The state of the art is then made known in which the concept is developed at a global, regional and local level is contextualized. Likewise, the research methodology is developed, mentioning the approach and the instruments used. Finally, the annexes and bibliographic references are listed.
Through this research, the aim is not only to contribute to the work environment of the target company, but also to the entire community that is interested in learning about financial education.
Dificultades en la Aplicación del Impuesto al Plástico de un Solo Uso en Colombia
Poveda-Gómez, Cristian Javier; Amaya-Gómez, Sandra Milena; Sarmiento-Forero, Sara Lucia; Anduquia-Rodríguez, Gerson Manuel
The single-use plastic tax was implemented in Colombia to discourage consumption among society and organizations and to encourage the adoption of sustainable alternatives. However, it faces challenges in collection, enforcement, and resistance from productive sectors. The purpose of this research is to define the main difficulties in the implementation of the single-use plastic tax, for which the Delphi method was employed through a structured consultation with a group of experts in taxation, accounting, and fiscal law. This method allowed for the identification of challenges in the application of the tax and enabled the description of the causes and interpretations of the taxpayer and the taxable event, as well as the positions taken by the Constitutional Court and the Acoplásticos association regarding this issue.
Additionally, the study details how social factors influence the adaptation to this tax, given that the regulation mentions certain incentives, such as certificates for companies that meet circular economy requirements, the productive reconversion plan, and labor adaptability. However, there are no clear details on how to apply for these benefits, and the ministries have not yet made public the plan for companies whose economic activity depends on the production and importation of single-use plastics. Finally, Colombia is compared with Ecuador and Peru to identify best practices and differences in the implementation of single-use plastic regulations.
Propuesta de estandarización de los procesos operativos en la fabricación de matrices de extrusión en la industria metal mecánica Artimetal Colombia SAS.
Marin-Ordoñez, Juan Sebastian; Mora-Cárdenas, Nelson Esteban; Dueñas, Jairo Orlando
This thesis focuses on a proposal for standardizing operational processes in the
manufacturing of extrusion dies at Artimetal Colombia S.A.S., located in Funza, Cundinamarca.
The problem identified lies in the lack of standardized guidelines, which has led to long
operating times, premature tool wear, rework, high costs, and a decrease in product quality.
The main focus of the study was a detailed analysis of current turning and milling
processes. Based on these, an improvement proposal was developed based on a comparison of
work times and sequences, supported by technical machining calculations. These calculations
included parameters such as cutting speed, feed per revolution, number of passes, machining
length, and ideal times per operation, considering real-life working conditions.

Castillo-Ospina, Angie Michel; Díaz-Díaz, Miguel Ángel
The objective of this study is to analyze and describe the emerging marketing trends in the second-hand clothing market in Bogotá during 2024. The research aims to identify the key strategies used by brands and entrepreneurs to attract and retain customers in an increasingly competitive and dynamic environment, characterized by digitalization, sustainability, and changes in consumer habits. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of consumer behavior and brand positioning strategies was achieved. While quantitative data revealed general patterns, acceptance levels, and purchase frequency, qualitative data provided detailed insights into perceptions, motivations, and values associated with responsible consumption and interest in circular fashion. The results show how environmental awareness, the use of social media, personalized shopping experiences, and brand authenticity influence purchase decisions, positioning second-hand clothing as a growing consumption trend in Bogotá.

The Second Meeting of Research Groups and Formative Research of the Faculty of Art, Communication, and Culture reaffirms the importance of research-creation as a central axis of educational processes, where theory, practice, and critical reflection on the environment converge. This space is consolidated as a platform to showcase the research thinking of our students, who, from their respective disciplines, explore the links between academic knowledge and the cultural, social, and territorial realities of the country. The proceedings gathered here demonstrate a rigorous and thoughtful academic exercise, revealing not only the diversity of methodological approaches but also the relevance and creativity with which the research groups address contemporary issues. In their projects, students assume an active role in transforming their contexts, recognizing art, communication, architecture, film, and gastronomy as languages that allow them to understand, question, and reimagine the world.
