Propuesta metodológica mediada por las TICS para fortalecer el modelo educativo de la Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil, usando elementos de la educación en línea en la educación presencial.

Abstract

This research seeks to present a methodological proposal based on the use of ICTs at the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil. Bibliographic research was carried out to substantiate the benefits that ICTs bring to improve education, as well as the different types of ICTs for education that can be found. Afterwards, a survey was carried out to identify the ICTs used, the methodologies used and measure the perception of the respondents about the improvements that the use of ICTs contributed to education, in times of a pandemic. The survey was applied by convenience to a sample of 50 teachers and a simple random sample to 384 students. In the information analysis process, a descriptive analysis of the results obtained was carried out and subsequently an inferential statistical analysis using the p-value test, to determine that ICTs and methodologies comply with the alternative hypothesis that the use of ICTs in education lead to improvements in it. It was determined that there are different types of ICTs that are used in a large part of virtual classes. With the results obtained, a methodological proposal was made based on the ICTs already used and with other ICTs suggested to be used even in the return to the face-to-face mode and in the hybrid mode. The contribution that ICTs brought to education in these times of pandemic within a forced virtual education is undeniable, so it is necessary to maintain its use in these days, in which we find ourselves in a progressive return to face-to-face education.
