La transformación digital, acelerada por la pandemia y el auge de la inteligencia artificial, demanda una competencia digital docente que trascienda el uso instrumental de la tecnología. Este estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal se llevó a cabo con 74 docentes universitarios en Bolivia, con el objetivo de explorar su autopercepción de competencia digital, las problemáticas identificadas y sus actitudes hacia la enseñanza digital. Se empleó un instrumento ad hoc, y los datos fueron analizados mediante estadísticos descriptivos, pruebas de diferencias de medias y análisis de clúster. Los participantes manifestaron una elevada autopercepción de competencia digital y actitudes mayoritariamente positivas. No obstante, se evidenciaron problemáticas diversas, siendo la falta de recursos y conectividad uno de los principales desafíos. Un hallazgo destacable fue que los docentes con mayor antigüedad (> 11 años) percibieron mayores dificultades tecnológicas. El análisis de clúster permitió identificar tres perfiles diferenciados: “usuarios avanzados y seguros”, “usuarios intermedios con desafíos específicos” y “usuarios con bajas habilidades y reticencia”. La heterogeneidad observada subraya la necesidad de programas de formación y acompañamiento diferenciados, adaptados a cada perfil de clúster. Aunque el estudio presenta limitaciones, sus resultados aportan orientaciones relevantes para el diseño de estrategias formativas que promuevan una docencia digital más inclusiva y eficaz.

His research analyzes the multidimensional impact of the fuel shortage in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, during 2025. Based on a quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive design, 534 participants were surveyed, including users of private, public, and commercial vehicles. The study assessed economic losses, social tensions, emotional stress, mobility disruptions, and political perceptions. Results show widespread effects: 71% reported significant financial losses, 81% waited over three hours to refuel, and 67% experienced high levels of anxiety. Through cluster analysis, three citizen response profiles emerged: (1) moderately affected with passive strategies, (2) low-impact minimizers, and (3) highly affected and reactive individuals, who engaged in fuel hoarding, informal market usage, and expressed strong political dissatisfaction. Multivariate tests (MANOVA) confirmed statistically significant differences between groups (p < .001). Behavioral responses were mainly reactive and defensive, perpetuating the cycle of scarcity. Distrust in government measures was high (78%), and pessimism about the future intensified (84%). The study concludes that the fuel crisis goes beyond supply issues, affecting social cohesion, emotional stability, and institutional credibility. Policy recommendations include targeted strategies by cluster profile, energy diversification, cultural adaptation campaigns, and the creation of strategic reserves to mitigate future fuel shortages.
Limitaciones y necesidades del emprendimiento femenino en la ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra: un enfoque de género desde el rol de las universitarias egresadas y/o tituladas en pandemia

The present study focuses on identifying the barriers faced by university women in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, regarding entrepreneurship. It is noted that female entrepreneurship in Latin America is driven by economic need and lack of job opportunities, but women face barriers such as lack of access to financing and support networks. The lack of studies on gender limitations in female entrepreneurship in the region is also analyzed. In Santa Cruz de la Sierra, female university entrepreneurs are motivated by personal achievement and the economic situation. Formal education and family support are key factors for business success. However, at the national level, lack of access to loans and family responsibility are important barriers to female entrepreneurship. The need to incorporate a gender perspective in entrepreneurship training to reduce the gap between women and men is highlighted. Personal financing and family support continue to be key means of financing female entrepreneurship in Bolivia. In general, more gender-focused policies are needed to address the specific needs and challenges of female entrepreneurs to promote their participation in the economy.
