Estudio comparativo del impacto del programa de formación en la modalidad virtual y en la modalidad de telepresencia en jóvenes universitarios politécnicos salesianos durante la pandemia por COVID-19

Abstract

The purpose of this work is the comparative study of the impact of the training program "Overcoming fear of public speaking" in the virtual modality and in the telepresence modality in Salesian Polytechnic University Students during the covid-19 pandemic. The research process was carried out through a quantitative methodology, using as an instrument the survey to 30 participants who were part of the telepresence modality and the virtual modality to visualize their level of perception of the aforementioned training program. This training program was oriented to the academic performance of the students in the telepresence and virtual modalities, so an inverted classroom pedagogical model was used in both modalities, and a perception survey based on the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model, which is composed of four sections: reaction, learning, behavior, and result. The results in the Virtual Modality showed that the students were more interested in the program, since they considered it essential to acquire tools to develop the skill of public speaking, which would contribute to personal development. On the other hand, the results in the Telepresence Modality evidenced the importance of playful activities within the learning process and reinforcement of knowledge, allowing the development of cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis and criticism in the participants, who were co-authors of their own learning.
