A techno-pedagogical design for the production of academic essays in university students

Abstract

The aim of the research was to verify whether the techno-pedagogical design based on flipped learning and collaborative writing (TPD-FLACW) improves the level of academic essay production in university students. The research approach was quantitative, explanatory-experimental, and quasi-experimental in design. The sample consisted of 109 students enrolled in the faculty of engineering of a university in Tacna. In the experimental group (A=40) TPD-FLACW was implemented and in the control groups traditional individual writing (B=29) and traditional team writing (C=40) were applied. TPD-FLACW was validated by 16 expert judges (CVCtc=.934, k=.392, p=.000) and applied between September and December 2022-II. A rubric was used to assess the pretest and posttest. The results indicate that in the pretest there were no significant differences between the three groups (H=.286; p>.05), but in the posttest, the experimental group obtained a high and significant improvement in the level of academic essay production (H=24.863, p<.05, ε<sup>2</sup>>.200) in comparison with groups B and C. There are also significant differences in the dimensions of superstructure, macrostructure, microstructure and textual stylistics. The students rate the proposal positively and recommend it. In conclusion, TPD-FLACW improves the level of academic essay production of university student.

Bibliometric review on teaching methods with artificial intelligence in education

“…In the current digital era, education is undergoing accelerated changes by integrating technological advances into pedagogical processes. The use of new technologies is creating new challenges for traditional models of education, as well as for the entire education system (Chura-Quispe & Garcia Castro, 2024). Emerging technology in Web 3.0 and Web 4.0 provides a variety of digital tools that are available for use in educational activity.…”
