Self-perception on the Acquisition of Investigative Competencies in the Context of Virtual Learning during Covid-19

Research training promotes the development of students' research skills and competences. For this reason, the study focuses on analyzing the self-perception of the acquisition of research competences of mechanical and electrical engineering students at the National Technological University of Lima Sur, located in Peru. The purpose of determining these results is to generate a research culture in the university context, by means of policies, strategies and knowledge management mechanisms supported by the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The research will be carried out in the year 2022, and from the methodological point of view it is descriptive and non-experimental design of transversal type. A questionnaire was designed for data collection, consisting of 12 indicators;the reliability of the data collected was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, whose value was 0.817. As there is no research training from the initial level of the curriculum plan that is aimed at enhancing the scientific and technological capabilities of the student, the results reveal that 72% failed to complete the development of scientific articles. With regard to the difficulties and/or weaknesses identified, they are centred on the low level of knowledge of quantitative or qualitative research, the concepts of techniques and instruments for data collection and discussion of results. © 2022 by the authors.

Virtual learning and coping with stress generated in university students in the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic

The present investigation "virtual learning and coping with stress in university students in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic", the objective of this investigation is to determine the relationship of the virtual environment of learning and coping with stress. It is a non-experimental quantitative investigation of correlational level with a sample of 233 students, for these questionnaires were used for data collection. The hypothesis could be tested and the non-parametric chi-square statistics and Spearman's correlation were used. Finally, it was concluded that there is a direct relationship between the virtual learning environment variables and coping with stress. These results are important for making decisions regarding the application of teaching strategies that must be adapted to this context. © 2022 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.

The perception of Engineering students toward teaching performance on online learning during COVID-19 pandemic

This study analyzed the perception of Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering students in the process of evaluating teacher performance in online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was descriptive-correlational research. The results showed that the Systems Engineering students performed a better perception with the class session management factor and low qualification to the didactic strategies factor. Likewise, the Pearson correlation test indicated a significant relationship (0.000) between the specific factors on the overall performance factor. The topic factor has the greatest strength on the qualification of the overall performance factor, with a constant Pearson's correlation of 0.964. The Mechanical Engineering students showed a better perception with the class session planning factor and low qualification to the didactic strategies factor. Likewise, the Pearson correlation test indicated a significant relationship (0.000) between the specific factors on the overall performance factor. The didactic strategies factor being the one that has the greatest strength on the qualification of the overall performance factor, with a correlation constant Pearson's of 0.983. © 2022, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

Virtualization of Teaching and Learning of Engineering Students and its Impact on Self-Perception of Attitude Acquisition, in the Context of COVID-19

This present describes the results of the evaluation regarding the self-perception of personal and social attitudes acquired by university students from an engineering faculty at a state university in Peru, in the context of virtual teaching and learning, declared by the health emergency by COVID-19;For which the following objectives were proposed, to determine the variation or impact that the self-perception of personal and social attitudes experienced, having as reference scenarios, the academic semester with face-to-face teaching (academic semester 2019B) and then the academic semester developed totally virtual (2020A). An exploratory-descriptive research level was used, with a longitudinal non-experimental design, whose population and sample is made up of 674 and 761 students, in the 2019B and 2020A semesters respectively. The data collection instruments were validated through Cronbach's Alpha, whose average results per academic semester were 0.960 and 0.958. After the investigation, it was found that there is no negative impact, due to virtual teaching;On the contrary, on average, there was an increase in all levels of satisfaction, increasing the level very satisfied by 52.8% and the level satisfied by 3.25%. © 2021, International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning.
