The university is the most appropriate place to practice scientificactivity, by virtueof the level of study that they offer. Ecuadorian universities establish lines of research that promote and stimulate research processes in the area of law.Therefore, the present study aims to describe the elements that denote the strengthening of the triad academic research -Ecuadorian law -challenges of the XXI century, within the framework of the Ecuadorian University Education. Research developed from a non-experimental design, documentary type and of descriptive and exploratory character, because it inferred in the analysis of primary sources already established, legal documents and similar investigations.In this methodological context, bibliographic documents, some antecedents and previous works related to the subject were investigated.The data collection technique used was the fiching technique and the content card.

The context of remote education in universities, in the stage of the COVID 19 Pandemic, proposed transforming the didactic intervention paradigm by orienting it towards active mixed methodologies, focused on the student's learning process, in which technological tools were incorporated that allow greater autonomy and responsibility in achieving learning outcomes. In this line of work, an investigation was carried out whose objective was to demonstrate that the application of the Inverted Classroom methodology promoted the development of investigative competences for the planning of an educational research project in a sample of 41 students of the Master's Degree in Teaching and Research from the National University of Piura. The members were practicing teachers in basic level educational institutions, which facilitated the study from the competence approach. The quantitative research, pre-experimental design, was carried out in the context of the Scientific Research subject, using the virtual platforms Classroom and Meet. Google for the programming and execution of the Inverted Classroom Program. The instruments used in the initial phase were a test of knowledge of research methodology and as a final evaluation a research competency evaluation form. In the results of the application of the Student's t test related samples and because the valueof the probability of the test is less than 5%. (Sig. = 0.000 <0.05), the existence of significant differences in the development of the research competences of the students was verified; In other words, with respect to the initial evaluation, the final verification shows that the application of the Inverted Classroom experience has strengthened the development of research competencies.

The article presents the results of adiagnosis carried out on the training offered by the Open University for Adults (UAPA), as part of its policy of social responsibility and educational inclusion, to inmates.Its purpose: To analyze key aspects of the program's operation, in order to make improvements, meet the needs of direct beneficiaries and promote its implementation.The methods of analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive, survey and focus group techniques were used in an intentional sample of (34) participants from three penitentiary centers.Among the main results are: that there is a state of positive satisfaction with the opportunity that UAPA gives them to access higher education and have a greater chance of entering the labor market after serving their sentence. They recognize the follow-up to the situations presented to the institution by them or their families.There is satisfaction with the follow-up of academic activities in the virtual campus, the application of exams, the admission process, enrollment and payment of tuition. They positively value the attention of the facilitators and school directors, the Social Service and the Professional Practice.As opportunities for improvement, they pointed out: the need for timely feedback from the facilitators to the learning activities; that the Prison does not fully guarantee the conditions required to develop the educational activities, as they do not always pay attention to their complaints, needs or suggestions.
