Ecuador, like other countries, is affected by the problem of violence, this problem does not only affect the educational units and the students who practice or experience it, but also extends to society. Some research results indicate that students who experience or witness violence at school are more likely to perpetuate violent behavior. Therefore, the objective of the research is to identify the causes and factors of school violence (Bullying). For this, a model proposed by Everett & Price, was applied. The survey was carried out by 70 students of the psychology career at the Central University of Ecuador. A quantitative method was obtained since the data obtained through the application of the form was collected and analyzed. Finally, to carry out the statistic, exploratory factor analysis was carried out because it will allow us to explore the underlying dimensions, constructs, or latent variables of the variables used, in other words, those observed and measured by the researcher more precisely. Finally, it was concluded that violence in schools cannot be ignored. While many students may feel safer on campus, many are negatively affected by violence to the point that some campuses are not safe places conducive to learning, but rather a place that perpetuates anger and fear.

This study seeks to establish a graphic model of digital transformation, focused on the tourism industry, this being one of the first sectors in which their business processes were digitized around the world, so companies change frequently and are forced to adapt. around the transformation. The objective of the study was to create a graphic innovation proposal aimed at the digital transformation of the tourism industry in the province of Tungurahua. The methodological approach of this research follows the following guidelines: descriptive research and field modality, in order to collect more reliable data, allowing the generation of new knowledge by applying the scientific method; quantitative approach, with the relationship between the research variables, through the design and application of the survey technique for the systematic search for information through questions to those investigated about the data to be obtained. The results revealed that 15% of the companies studied are in the initial stage according to the digital innovation model. Similarly, 81% are in a stage of maturation.

The lack of effective communication was noticed since pupils could not share their thoughts, ideas, and feeling using English as the mean of communication. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of presentation, practice, and production method in the development of speaking fluency among students. This study was carried out through a mixed approach, descriptive, exploratory methodology, and quasi-experimental design. The theoretical support was from books, papers, scientific magazines, and articles. To collect data, some instruments were used such as a pre-test, post-test, and an observation card to determine how effective PPP was to boost fluency during the intervention. Finally, results showed that it has statistically significant evidence at a=0.005 in speed, prosody, and coherence. This indicates that the PPP method contributes to speaking fluency, especially in prosody. This method PPP that belongs to the communicative approach allowed students to communicate in the target language effectively.
