Aprendo: Una Herramienta De Apoyo Docente Para La Enseñanza a Distancia

Abstract

This work presents the results of the feasibility test for the development of the digital tool “Aprendo”, for teaching practice, in the context of remote teaching and connectivism. Through this tool, it is intended to draw an overview of the profile or learning style of the predominant students in the classroom, which can help the teacher to use more specific didactic methodologies and practices, enhancing the results of the teaching-learning process. A qualitative-quantitative analysis was used, through the application of a survey (A) to 80 students of different educational levels and another survey (B) to 28 teachers in general. The data from survey A showed that 67.5% of students learn through examples and 56.3% prefer to correlate different sources of information. Regarding the structure of the classes, in 73.8% of the cases there was a diversity of opinions and 86.3% of the students stated that the participation of another person added something to their knowledge. This corroborates the principle of connectivism about the connection between information from different sources. The results of B indicated a favorable opinion on the development and usefulness of the tool for 100% of the teachers, since 96.4% stated that they would change their pedagogical practice after obtaining the results of the application of the tool, while only 3.6% declared that would not change.
