    Contemporary education faces challenges that require new ways to understand, support, and transform educational processes. In this context, Volume 2, Issue 3 of INNOVACADEMIA brings together five research articles, one review article, and two essays that, from diverse perspectives, address topics related to comprehensive education, educational innovation, artificial intelligence, and learning experiences connected to current needs.

    Among the research studies, one examines the role of the Institutional Tutoring Program as a strategy to promote student retention, graduation efficiency, and degree completion, highlighting the importance of continuous and targeted support throughout students’ university trajectories. Artificial intelligence is another central theme of this issue. One study analyzes the use of generative artificial intelligence chatbots in the development of research protocols and their effects on academic writing.

    The development of critical thinking also occupies a prominent place. Based on an analysis of the perceptions of Psychology students and faculty members, the study identifies differences in their experiences and some of the challenges involved in teaching aimed at strengthening this essential competency for professional education.

    Comprehensive education is also addressed from an artistic perspective. One study draws on the experiences of members of a university folk dance group and shows how artistic practice can contribute to students’ socioemotional development and enrich their education beyond the academic sphere.

    Another study examines the knowledge, use, and challenges associated with artificial intelligence in the professional practice of upper secondary education teachers, providing insights for reflecting on the opportunities and challenges posed by this technology in the educational context.

    From an interdisciplinary perspective, the review article addresses behavioral management strategies in the dental care of pediatric patients with ADHD, aimed at promoting cooperation and reducing anxiety during dental appointments. This work highlights the importance of considering patients’ particular characteristics and needs in care processes and in the education of health professionals.

    Finally, two essays expand the reflection on university education and professional development. The first addresses teacher professional development as an ongoing process for strengthening educational practice; the second reflects on international collaboration in graduate education and the value of academic mobility, co-supervision, co-authorship, and language proficiency in researcher training.

    Taken together, the works featured in this issue offer diverse perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary education and invite reflection on the need to build innovative, comprehensive educational experiences that are connected to the needs of the surrounding environment.

    We present the third issue of the first volume of INNOVACADEMIA, which brings together research that invites reflection on the current challenges of education and the possibilities for transformation through innovative approaches and methods, as well as the use of new technologies. This issue includes three research articles, two review articles, and one review. Beginning with the research articles, the first addresses the application of playful and participatory methodologies in teaching the History of America, with the intention of enhancing reading comprehension in eighth-grade students. The second describes the Media and Information Literacy (MIL) competencies required by Communication Sciences students at universities in the north of the country, proposing actions to improve educational programs in this area. The third focuses on higher education and analyzes students’ perceptions of Generative Artificial Intelligence, highlighting both its potential to enrich learning and the ethical and pedagogical challenges involved in its use. Following this, two review articles are presented. The first examines the difficulties faced by engineering students in developing English writing skills. It proposes the Process-Genre Approach as an effective strategy to strengthen written communication in academic and professional contexts. The second analysis examines language anxiety in foreign language learning, identifying its primary causes based on various specialized sources, and highlights the need to update existing theoretical models by incorporating socio-emotional strategies and digital skills. Finally, this issue includes a review that examines the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence and its impact on health sciences education, underscoring the need for educational institutions to adapt to ensure an ethical and effective transition toward these new tools. With these contributions, we reaffirm our commitment through the publication of research that fosters academic dialogue and offers pathways for innovation across various disciplines and educational levels. We extend our gratitude to all those involved in the editorial process, and especially to the university authorities for their support of this knowledge dissemination project.
