Presentation Title:
VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS IN FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Presentation Options: Onsite

Presentation Strand: MLs

Presentation Delivery Language: English

Description:

The study examines the relationship between the following variables: the degree of mastery of virtual learning environments and the development of professional skills. Considering the current educational context, post pandemic and the return to face-to-face, new social groups have accessed higher education and, therefore, problems related to virtual learning environments that go beyond academic fields were evident. The results also discuss how to better support the first-generation college students majoring in industrial engineering who often face disadvantages such as lack of emotional support or poor economic and/or technological support; compared to others who do have the support of professional parents.

Abstract:

The study describes and examines the relationship between the following variables: the degree of mastery of virtual learning environments and the development of professional skills. Considering the current educational context, post pandemic and the return to face-to-face, new social groups have accessed higher education and, therefore, problems related to virtual learning environments that go beyond academic fields were evident. The study was oriented to the first-generation college students majoring in industrial engineering who often face disadvantages such as lack of emotional support or poor economic and/or technological support; compared to others who do have the support of professional parents. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, quantitative research with a descriptive and correlational design is proposed. It is hypothesized that the degree of mastery of virtual learning environments has a direct positive relationship with the development of professional skills in first generation students. In this research, specific objectives were developed in relation to the two variables. Through the virtual learning environments variable, it will be analyzed through its dimensions: the instrumentalization of computer applications, the management of hypertext and multimedia information, and the virtual learning context. In the same way, professional skills will be analyzed through their three linked dimensions: professional training, pedagogical training, and specialized training. In the results it is expected to understand how the degree of mastery of virtual environments mediates the development of professional skills of first generation students, establish learning strategies, affective factors, cognitive abilities, motivations, goals, mutual representations and expectations.
