Abstract
El artículo aporta conocimiento acerca de las percepciones de los profesores en formación sobre las potencialidades y limitaciones de las aulas virtuales, en un contexto nacional de políticas educativas que promueven el acceso universal a los recursos digitales. Se aplicó una metodología de enfoque mixto que integró los resultados de una encuesta a 414 estudiantes matriculados en las modalidades presencial y b-learning con los resultados de 17 entrevistas a profesores. Los principales hallazgos revelan un uso de las plataformas que oscila entre bajo y moderado, y una utilización principal como repositorio de archivos de texto. Las principales percepciones de dificultades señaladas por los estudiantes para un buen uso de las aulas virtuales tienen que ver con el acceso a equipos informáticos, la conectividad, la capacitación de los formadores y el cumplimiento del rol de tutor en línea.
The article contributes knowledge about the perceptions of teachers in training about the potentialities and limitations of virtual classrooms, in a national context of educational policies that promotes universal access to digital resources. A mixed approach was used that included the results of a national survey carried out with 414 students enrolled in the face-to-face and b-learning modalities of eight teacher training centers in the country, with the results of 17 teacher interviews. The main findings reveal a use of platforms that oscillates between low and moderate, and a main utilization as a repository of text files. The main perceptions of difficulties identified by students for a good use of virtual classrooms have to do with access to computer equipment, connectivity, training of trainers and compliance with the role of online tutor.
