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

ABSTRACT

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.
