El contenido epistémico de dos tipos de estudios universitarios y el tama？o de la clase en relación con variables objetivas: un análisis desde la perspectiva de la cognición distribuida

this research analyzes type of epistemic content and class size (contextual variables) in relation to the objective configuration of distributed cognition systems: physical/ communicating and symbolic/implementing (variables relative to carrying out the activity). the variables studied within the physical/communicating system were the basic classroom setting, the teacher's spatial behavior, students' mobility in the classroom, and students' oral participation. the symbolic/implementing system consisted of guides, bibliographical texts, and note-taking. the sample was non-probabilistic, intentional, and included 28 university classes pertaining to three majors in the social sciences and three majors in the exact sciences. the results indicated, through multivariate and bivariate analysis, highly-significant associations between the mentioned variables.
