Abstract
La emergencia sanitaria COVID-19 al transformarse en un suceso mundial puso en apuros a la educación presencial. Bolivia, país en desarrollo, necesita de generaciones que se formen a través de la educación constante y sostenida, como es el objetivo 4 de las ODS². La presente investigación pretende hacer un análisis de la actualidad de los cursos virtuales después que han pasado dos años desde el inicio de la pandemia, se analiza las percepciones de los estudiantes universitarios de la Carrera de Ciencias de la Información, pertenecientes a la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación - UMSA, quienes cambiaron obligatoriamente de la educación tradicional presencial a una educación cien por ciento virtual, para este fin se aplica como instrumento de investigación un cuestionario de preguntas cerradas, efectuadas en la gestión 2020 y 2021 haciendo un cruce de datos estadísticos. Se aplica el Método Deductivo para poder contrastar los datos recogidos de los estudiantes universitarios con los datos de otros autores y así evaluar la actualidad de los cursos virtuales. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la significativa falta de experiencia en la modalidad virtual, por tanto, si las unidades académicas no miden la calidad y efectividad de esta forma de educación, habrá consecuencias en la enseñanza-aprendizaje. A más de dos años desde el inicio de la pandemia es hora que las autoridades que representan a la educación en Bolivia analicen estos resultados, tomando decisiones que ayuden a mejorar la calidad educativa. Este estudio puede ser posible recurriendo, a organizaciones sin fines de lucro como Quality Matters y Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, que miden la calidad de los cursos virtuales
The COVID-19 health emergency, by becoming a global event, put face-to-face education in trouble. Bolivia, a developing country, needs generations to be trained through constant and sustained education, as is objective 4 of the SDGs. This research aims to make an analysis of the current status of virtual courses after two years have passed since the start of the pandemic, the perceptions of university students of the Information Sciences Career, belonging to the Faculty of Humanities, are analyzed. and Educational Sciences - UMSA who necessarily changed from traditional face-to-face education to one hundred percent virtual, for this purpose a questionnaire of closed questions is applied as a research instrument, carried out in the 2020 and 2021 management by crossing statistical data. The Correlational Method is applied to be able to contrast the data collected from university students with the data of other authors and thus evaluate the actuality of the virtual courses. The results obtained show the significant lack of experience in the virtual modality, therefore, if the academic units do not measure the quality and effectiveness of this form of education, there will be consequences in teaching-learning. More than two years after the start of the pandemic, it is time for the authorities that represent education in Bolivia to analyze these results, making decisions that help improve educational quality. This study may be possible by resorting to non-profit organizations such as Quality Matters and the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, which measure the quality of virtual courses
