Abstract
The present research deals with the conditions associated with well-being in the classroom through virtual environments of the student population that attends lessons at a private university located in the Central Headquarters in San José, Costa Rica (Central America). The objective is to analyse the conditions associated with well-being in the classroom through virtual learning environments during the years 2021 to 2023. The research uses a quantitative approach, and the type of study is descriptive and cross- sectional. The study was conducted with 731 active students during the period from 2021 to 2023 who used virtual environments to continue their studies. The sample corresponds to 46.5% of the total population (1570 students). The variables associated with well-being conditions in the classroom were environmental and technological conditions; emotional conditions; social conditions; methodological conditions; and student conditions. The Classroom Well-being Scale in virtual environments was used to collect the information. This instrument has a reliability of 95% and a very high correlation between variables (99%). The results show that, in general, there is well-being in the classroom through virtual environments; specifically, that there is a high level of well-being in the classroom in the following aspects: availability of the virtual platform; respect for all people in the classroom environment; assertive communication in the course activities; and free expression of ideas in a respectful environment. The aspects that reflect well-being in the classroom are: quality of audiovisual resources; availability of learning resources; structure of the virtual environment; student participation; and feeling at ease with the course. The aspects to be reinforced to improve well-being are: activities proposed by the teacher in the course; and peer support in carrying out the course activities.
