ABSTRACT
This study is developed in order to determine the educational quality in Colombia during the covid 19 pandemic from the perspective of the student experience. The methodology used is framed towards the quantitative field with a correlational level and a field-non-experimental design. For data collection, the database "Cuarentena COVID 19 Jóvenes” is taken as a reference, which is supplied by the mayor of Medellin. The sample under study consisted of a total of 2058 subjects to whom a questionnaire is applied with 12 questions related to their sociodemographic characteristics, access, and availability for classes in virtual modality, and their perception of the experience in the learning processes during virtuality. For the statistical processing of the information, a descriptive analysis of the data is developed in the first instance, based on the frequency and percentage statistics, to subsequently generate cross tables between the elements related to educational quality in Colombia during the covid 19 pandemic from the perspective of the student experience, and finally an analysis of the correlations between the elements is presented through the Chi-squared test. The whole process is developed through the SPSS statistical software. The results allowed to identify in the first instance a high level of students who took classes in their virtual modality, which had access to the internet (74.9%) and an electronic device (78.6%) that allowed them to access these classes in virtual modality. In turn, students considered in a high level of proportion that virtual classes had impaired the learning experience by 69%. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
This study is developed with the aim of diagnosing the innovative strategies based on ICT used by teachers for the development of social skills in business administration students;which were applied during the COVID 19 pandemic as a response to the change of modality launched by higher education institutions. In this case, the present study was located in the positivist paradigm, with a descriptive level, with a non-experimental, transactional field design. The sample is taken from a group of 25 teachers, who teach in the business administration program of a private university located in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. A questionnaire consisting of a total of 15 items applied to this sample, which was validated by experts and its reliability was determined by means of the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, yielding a value of 0.87. As a result, an average of 2.86 was obtained in the variable strategies for the development of social competences;located in the category neither appropriate nor inappropriate. These results show an important level of shortcomings in the implementation of innovative strategies based on ICT used by teachers for the development of social skills in business administration students. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
