    Cross-disciplinary analysis of classroom anxiety in English and math contexts
    (Ecuador : Pujilí : Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi (UTC), 2026-04-15) Casacumba Panchi, Pablo Javier; León Pucha, Daniel Mauricio; Tovar Viera, Vicente Rodrigo
    Learning anxiety in English and mathematics is a phenomenon that has a significant impact on students' performance and emotional well-being in various educational settings, particularly in areas with cultural and economic diversity, such as Ecuador. This study aims to evaluate the level of anxiety in first-year students in these subjects and analyze the variables that influence its occurrence. A quantitative approach was used, and a convenience sample of 75 university students was selected. These students completed questionnaires using a Likert-type scale to assess anxiety and associated perceptions. The data obtained were analyzed using statistical methods to identify differences, relationships, and predictive models. Among the most significant findings, it was observed that students exhibit high levels of anxiety in mathematics, which is linked to perceptions of difficulty and low self-esteem. In the case of English, anxiety is related to insecurities in language use and fear of social evaluation. The findings underscore the importance of implementing innovative pedagogical methods and emotional awareness programs to mitigate the impact of anxiety on the learning process and foster a more inclusive and motivating educational environment

    Morphological errors in short paragraph writing in English as a foreign language
    (Ecuador : Pujilí : Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi (UTC), 2026-04-09) Proaño Barreros, Gioconda Zulay; Manotoa Mendaño, Karen Sorayde; Venegas Álvarez, Gina Silvana
    The study addresses the persistence of morphological errors in the writing of short paragraphs in English as a foreign language by university-level students, which compromises textual accuracy, clarity, and coherence. A qualitative and descriptive design was used, addressing a sample of 28 students. For data collection, a writing activity with several components was recorded, including a worksheet with fill-in-the-blank activities, sentence ordering, and an assignment in which students had to write a descriptive paragraph about a memory or hobby and for the analysis, a checklist was used, which was framed within the taxonomy of surface strategies (omission, addition, substitution, and disorder) and adjusted to the error analysis framework. Of the results, omission was identified as the most common (8; 33.33%), while substitution occurred in 7 cases (29.16%); addition and disorder were found with the same frequency (5; 20.83% each). It was identified that the lack of morphology was the result of L1 interference, literal translation, and a lack of systematic instruction and application of morphological awareness and grammar. The teaching of morphology should be strengthened in an explicit and contextualized manner.
