This article is based on the pedagogical practices “Snoopy Speaks English”, carried out with 15 preschool children at The House of Mickey Mouse Kindergarten. During the development of the project, the use of a mediating character (Snoopy) facilitated the learning of foreign languages in early childhood by reducing anxiety and increasing motivation. The methodology was based on Óscar Jara’s systematization proposal, using a qualitative approach through field journals and participant observation. The main results show a significant improvement in the acquisition of basic vocabulary and greater spontaneous participation of children in communicative activities. Likewise, it was evidenced that playful strategies, songs, games, and interactive activities strengthened meaningful English learning within the classroom, favoring oral expression and children’s confidence during pedagogical activities. In the same way, family participation and the use of didactic resources made it possible to extend learning into the family environment, generating greater motivation and interest in the foreign language among students.
Diseño de un modelo de gestión integral y de respuesta ante contingencias del riesgo químico en la empresa Acoge servicios integrales S.A.S. de Bogotá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-22) Costa Gutierrez, Yajaira Alejandra; Zamudio Preciado, Martha Paola; Montoya Acosta, Johanna Alexandra; Guzman Rojas, Carlos Andres; Universidad Santo Tomas
This consultancy aimed to design an integrated chemical risk management and emergency response model for Acoge Servicios Integrales S.A.S., located in Bogotá, to guide preventive and control measures that protect the health and safety of workers exposed to chemical substances. The methodology included a situational assessment of the receipt, handling, preparation, storage, and application of chemical products, a review of existing controls and applicable regulatory requirements, and hazard identification and risk assessment based on the Colombian Technical Guide GTC 45 and the hierarchy of controls. The results revealed opportunities for improvement in the implementation of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), product labeling, the availability of updated Safety Data Sheets (SDS), chemical storage conditions, and controls during fumigation and tank cleaning activities. Based on the assessment, a proposal was developed incorporating safe storage strategies, administrative and engineering controls, personal protective equipment, response protocols for spills and poisoning, and training activities. The analysis highlights the importance of strengthening preventive management through organized procedures and measures suited to the company’s conditions. It is concluded that the proposal provides a framework for progressively improving chemical risk management, preventing incidents, and protecting workers’ health. Its effectiveness will depend on implementation and ongoing monitoring by the organization.
Factores de riesgo psicosociales asociados a los trastornos mentales y del comportamiento en trabajadores del sector construcción: revisión documental 2020-2025
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 0021-10-26) Ortiz Meneses, Paula Andrea; Reyes Duarte, Sonia Astrid; Universidad Santo Tomás
This monograph aimed to analyze psychosocial risk factors associated with mental and behavioral disorders among workers in the construction sector, based on scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. A narrative documentary review was conducted using a qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytical scope. The selected studies were organized through documentary analysis matrices and subsequently coded using ATLAS.ti, based on categories related to psychosocial risk factors, mental health outcomes, and occupations within the sector. The results showed a greater presence of workplace-related psychosocial factors, particularly those associated with job demands and emotional demands, as well as workload and work pace, working hours, job insecurity, leadership, role clarity, and social support. Factors outside the workplace and individual factors were less frequently represented, although they were also part of the relationships identified. Regarding mental health, work-related stress and burnout were the categories most frequently reported in the reviewed literature, followed by anxiety and depression. The findings also showed that these conditions were studied among both operational workers and professional and technical personnel. It was concluded that psychosocial factors are an important component in understanding mental health in the construction sector and that their prevention requires consideration of work organization as well as external and individual conditions, without interpreting the identified associations as direct causal relationships.
Diseño de una propuesta de mejora para el proceso de compra y consumo de la línea de Elementos de Protección Personal (EPPs) de la empresa Incubadora Santander S.A., ubicada en Piedecuesta, durante el periodo 2025–2026
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-16) Saavedra Díaz, Lucía Viviana; Rojas Manosalva, Sara Lucia; Universidad Santo Tomás
This consultancy project aimed to design an improvement proposal for the purchasing and consumption process of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) line at Incubadora Santander S.A. (Huevos Kikes) during the 2025 - 2026 period. Faced with an unjustified 32.48% increase (approximately $278 million COP) in PPE expenditure, the project began by consolidating order and delivery databases, which allowed for the identification of critical price and quantity deviations. During field visits across operational processes, the actual consumption behavior of each PPE in use was verified, proving that the problem extended beyond the initial purchase price. The main root causes identified were the acquisition of low-quality PPE that required constant replacements, erroneous requisitions by leaders due to the difficult interpretation of the existing PPE matrices (2023 versions), and inventory leakage resulting from not requiring employees to return damaged equipment. As a comprehensive solution and innovative contribution, an interactive visual PPE catalog and a formal delivery and replacement policy were structured, and a digital mobile application was developed using AppSheet. The project concluded with the successful execution of pilot tests in operational control zones, mandatory socialization completed with 100% of national leaders in February 2026, and executive approval for the officialization of deliverables and their national rollout starting March 2026, alongside the establishment of a joint working committee with the purchasing department for continuous indicator monitoring.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-22) Palacio Rivadeneira, Carlos Andrés; Peñaranda Guerrero, Ana Camila; Anchila Antolinez, Maria Elsa; Universidad Santo Tomás
This article proposes criteria for evaluating institutional coordination in the support and follow-up processes for children and adolescents who are victims of forced recruitment in Ocaña, Norte de Santander, during 2023–2026. Using a qualitative and documentary approach, the study develops a five-dimensional evaluation matrix to guide the assessment of institutional coordination, comprehensive care, and the protection of victims' rights.
