DUA Como Estrategia Inclusiva en Aulas de Inglés a estudiante con TEA
Lina Maria Huerfano Cagua; Jose Gerardo Muñoz Mateus
This research analyzes the implementation of strategies based on the fundamental
principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how they promote the learning of English
as a second language in students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Taking into account the
challenges and obstacles that students with ASD face, it also seeks to analyze the results reported
in previous studies on the implementation of these strategies and to synthesize the pedagogical
implications of the findings for teaching practice. After conducting a documentary review, it was
evident that Universal Design for Learning constitutes a pertinent and necessary framework for
teaching English as a foreign language to students with ASD since it promotes accessible,
motivating, and equitable spaces. However, less limited and broader research designs are
required, integrating the three principles. Additionally, many studies are limited to interviews and
surveys with the stakeholders, so more specification is needed in the processes and results of the
application of the strategies. In addition, greater teacher training is needed to make educational
inclusion more effective.
Professors' Perspectives on the Cultural Content of Textbooks for Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language in a Higher Education Institution / Perspectivas De Los Profesores Sobre El Contenido Cultural De Los Libros De Texto Para La Enseñanza Del Español Como Lengua Extranjera En Una Institución De Educación Superior
Zuluaga Suarez Miguel Angel; Prieto Acosta Michelle Camila; González Fuentes Laura Daniela; Linares Nuñez Diana Rocío
This research analyzes the perspectives of Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE)
professors at Uniagustiniana regarding the cultural content of Basic-level textbooks, with a focus
on understanding the importance of including idiomatic expressions from Bogotá. The study is
based on the identification of a tendency in educational materials to prioritize Peninsular Spanish
while limiting the representation of Latin American varieties.
The research used a phenomenological approach and used surveys, interviews, and
classroom observations as data collection instruments. The findings show that, even when
textbooks play an important role in organizing content, they present limitations in the inclusion
of cultural elements and idiomatic expressions related to the Bogotá context.
Additionally, professors claim that there is a need to incorporate more contextualized
content that reflects real language use, since skipping these elements can affect learners’
communicative competence and cultural understanding in real life contexts.

Brandon Sebastián Rojas Castro
The purpose of this research is the analysis of the consumer profile and buying
behavior at Tintal Plaza Shopping Center through sociodemographic factors, visit patterns,
and the attributes that affect the consumer experience. This study uses a quantitative approach
and the design of the research is a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design.
This study used a questionnaire for data collection from 40 customers and the results have
been analyzed using descriptive statistics. It can be seen from the findings that most of the
consumers belong to 18-35 age group, are frequent visitors, and shopping is the main purpose
of their visit. Safety, variety of stores, and entertainment area are considered as important
attributes. The majority of the consumers were satisfied with the overall experience, willing
to recommend the shopping center and interested in sustainable products. From this study, it
can be concluded that consumer profiling and preferences provide useful information to
improve the marketing strategies of shopping centers.
Estrategias docentes en la enseñanza de la habilidad de lectura en inglés a estudiantes con discapacidad visual en una institución de educación superior en Bogotá
Melibea Chaparro Becerra; Derly Asceneth Chamorro Cano; Pedro Alejandro González Mesa
This research focuses on the challenges and strategies teachers at a higher education institution in Bogotá face when sharing knowledge and experiences in teaching reading in English to students with visual impairments.
Although tools such as braille and assistive technologies are available in various contexts, their use remains limited, largely due to a lack of teacher training in aspects such as the implementation of activities focused on students with special educational needs. Thus, this research analyzes teachers' perspectives on their own teaching methods, also addressing the challenges that may arise and the impact of these approaches on creating an inclusive environment.
The results highlight that, although teachers demonstrate creativity and commitment, the strategies they implement in the classroom do not achieve inclusive education due to a lack of resources and institutional support. However, this study emphasizes the importance of strengthening education and providing teachers with the necessary means to transform classrooms into equitable spaces accessible to all students.
