|November 2, 2018
Summary
Universidad de Monterrey implemented a global citizenship education initiative based on UNESCO's model. This cocurricular program demonstrated significant positive learning outcomes for students, fostering intercultural competence.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Sociology
Background:
- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) promotes global citizenship education.
- Intercultural competence is crucial for global citizenship.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a cocurricular initiative on students' intercultural competence.
- To document learning outcomes aligned with UNESCO's global citizenship education model.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a cocurricular initiative at Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM).
- Documentation of student learning outcomes related to intercultural competence.
Main Results:
- Positive learning outcomes were observed among UDEM students.
- The initiative successfully integrated UNESCO's global citizenship education principles.
Conclusions:
- Cocurricular approaches can effectively enhance intercultural competence.
- Educational initiatives aligned with global citizenship models yield positive student development.

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...
