Estrategias metodológicas desde una perspectiva constructivista de aprendizaje aplicada desde los entornos virtuales

Abstract

The Covid -19 pandemic has caused a change in the educational system causing academic activities to be transferred to virtuality, therefore, it is necessary for teachers to investigate the relevant methodologies for digital learning environments, so this study aims to: analyze the constructivist approach and its application in virtual environments in times of pandemic from social interaction. The research was carried out with a methodological framework of qualitative approach, using the descriptive and exploratory method, which helped to show constructivist characteristics in teachers through the instruments of observation sheet and interview. The study was carried out in the Private Educational Unit "HOPE CRISTIAN ACADEMIC" which has a Christian orientation. The institution is located in Tabacundo province of Pichincha, Ecuador. We worked with elementary basic level teachers, aged between 30 and 40 years, their educational experience from 5 to 10 years. They demonstrated to apply constructivist and behavioral methodological strategies, with digital skills and ICT management for both cases, which shows that the constructivist approach can be carried out in virtual environments as long as ICTs are related to pedagogy, through didactic strategies.
