Estrategias de aprendizaje emergentes en la modalidad e-learning

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was the systematization of specific strategies that the student in e-learning modality uses for his learning. The problem was focused from a qualitative perspective supported on the method of grounded theory and the in-depth interview technique. An ad hoc technological platform waas designed to do fieldwork with online interviews, by processing videos with a qualitative analysis software. The validity and reliability of the result was triangulated with the theoretical construction made by the contribution of Weinstein and Meyer (1998), Pintrich, Garcia and Mckeachie (1991) and Tsai (2009). These results show that there is a dimension of learning strategies in e-learning modality where the management factor has great influence to regulate the process, especially in the use of time and strategies administration. In addition, the self-regulation of the metacognition and the adaptability play an essential role, the same as the psychological factor of the motivation and concentration, combined with the factor of uses of the technology for selecting and use the pertinent technologies on the adequate moment with the aim of learning. The contribution shows how learning strategies are adapted in virtual education in Mexico and the possibility that they become lines of research for the Latin American context.
