Emerging learning strategies in e-learning environments in the context of Covid-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic required the adoption of vertiginous changes in the field of univer-sity education, leading to rethink the way of generating knowledge to give continuity to the training of students, having to adapt to them quickly, guaranteeing quality education before the prevailing uncertainty, in this sense, the objective of the research was focused on describ-ing the emerging learning strategies in the e-learning modality in the context of COVID-19, used by Venezuelan universities. The methodology used was based on the positivist para-digm, through descriptive research, with a field, exploratory and explanatory design, discre-tionary sampling was used, using the online survey as a data collection technique and as an instrument a questionnaire made up of ten (10) structured items of the Likert Scale type; whose reliability was measured through the Cronbach's Alpha test with a coefficient of 0.985 considered significantly high. Results: they evidenced the acquisition of platforms by some universities to continue with the teaching process, they considered web 2.0 as an alternative for the development of their synchronous and asynchronous meetings. The interaction pro-cess was based on the triangulation of the actors of the educational process including the interface, they applied oblique, collaborative, contextual learning, adapting it to each univer-sity. Conclusions: the emerging learning strategies in e-learning environments were of the associative type, of elaboration, organization and support, by promoting concentration, moti-vation, attention, learning by doing, through the improvement of abilities and skills in the management of information. technology to promote continuous contact with flexibility in the established schedules.
