Barriers Preventing Quality Virtual Learning for Students of the Facultad de Transporte y Vialidad (FATV)

Abstract

The article, entitled barriers that prevent quality virtual learning in students of the virtual modality of the Bolivian Higher Institute of Technology (ITB), for the realization of this article, it was allowed to work with the students of the Faculty of Transportation and Roads (FATV), in order to determine the main barriers that prevent meaningful learning in students of generation X, Y & Z. Students of these generations are the ones with the highest number of conglomerations in the total student population, which is why andragogical approaches are used that promote the direct appropriation of the knowledge shared in the key ideas of each unit, in order to determine which of these barriers are the ones that prevent their good performance and learning. A descriptive research was carried out on a sample group of 70 Transportation students, which consisted of a 20-question form, which when adding the information obtained based on direct observation identified 4 essential barriers that make meaningful learning impossible in virtual modalities: technological barriers, lack of availability of time, lack of motivation generated by not receiving feedback from the teaching staff and lack of commitment to exploring explicit content for their professional training; This allowed us to obtain a more precise overview of what must be worked on so that virtual education processes are effective in the learning process.
