Adoption of ICT as teaching tools in a public university derived from the COVID-19 health contingency
Abstract
The objective of this research is to explore, from the perspective of students at a state public university that uses the competency-based model, the key challenges and opportunities derived from the adoption of digital tools in the context of an online educational model, generated as response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications of this transition were also examined. To carry out this study, a quantitative approach methodology was implemented with the objective of validating our hypothesis. The population under study included students enrolled in the four bachelor's degrees offered by the Victoria Faculty of Commerce and Administration. From this population, a random sample of 334 students was selected. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire consisting of 35 items. The reliability analysis, evaluated through Cronbach's alpha index, yielded a value of 0.739, indicating high reliability in the results obtained. This study considered the perception of university students in six key dimensions, taking into account the conditions of infrastructure, connectivity and knowledge on various platforms, which influence the teaching-learning process: i. academic participation, ii. educational quality, iii. technological incorporation, iv. academic support, v. digital skills and vi. academic flexibility.
