Abstract

The advance of technology grew on a large scale due to the presence of Covid-19 together with education, this growth accompanied the teaching and learning process. The transfer from face-to-face to virtual suggested choosing a teaching process, having e-learning as the most friendly. The method applied to the research is descriptive, correlational, transversal and predictive. The sample was applied randomly and voluntarily to 3532 university students from all over Peru, the sample was collected through an online survey. The results show that there are still problems with the materials they share due to the lack of reading comprehension, but by making use of communication technology and the Internet, students are able to take advantage of it and improve their teaching and learning through self-learning.

Highlights

  • The University of Medellin together with other companies and local government investigated through learning platforms the learning styles of university students using artificial intelligence for this Kolb's learning styles were used [15], elearning is practiced in universities thanks to ICT as the first class teaching worldwide, it is applied in all courses especially in mathematics forgetting the traditional class and making use of digital technology e-learning is gradually imposed on the old methodologies [16]

  • The validated questionnaire [39] was used with a Cronbach's alpha of .868, which guarantees to carry out other research, this measurement instrument is composed of 11 questions, which aim to measure e-learning in Peruvian university students during the Covid-19 period, this measurement instrument has the format of a five-point LikertiJET ‒ Vol 16, No 20, 2021

  • The use and application of the most used method in these times e-learning in the teaching and learning process was very successful and successful, university students value positively all teaching and learning environments and especially the e-learning method

Summary

Introduction

Learning and teaching in higher education centers is not exempt from the presence of Covid-19; this caused great changes for everyone, teachers had to prepare their classes to teach them online virtually and in that trance many challenges were identified to face in teaching, either asynchronously or synchronously; this change came with the unfamiliarity in pedagogical management (class preparation time, class participation, connectivity) [1], to obtain the progress of society education is the first thing to be a first quality citizen, many countries invest and are committed to the education of their country and with the emergence of ICT totally changed education in its four levels (initial, primary, secondary and university), because of Covid-19 the traditional teaching was left to oblivion to accept e-learning teaching in all educational centers worldwide, whose only solution to this problem was online learning with various methods such as e-learning having as a consequence the saturation of the internet line [2], with the emergence of Covid-19 emerged the teaching in the online version, giving rise to online surveys to investigate the challenges and characteristics of teaching and learning [3].iJET ‒ Vol 16, No 20, 2021Education in the world had a resounding change by the presence of Covid-19, demanding that education in the world is online, which change affected students and teachers with the emergence of multiple applications for the learning process where much difference was noticed with the teaching of "traditional" way, but the emotion is perceived more in students [4]; with this advance had to adapt to the new strategies of online education and one of these applications is e-learning whose use grew exponentially because of its easy access [5], this spread of Covid-19 brought opportunities and challenges at all levels of education, even more so in higher education whose progress in virtual education was little by little, university education offers extensive knowledge, and helps to train people with skills and fundamental aspects that will make them face life; this virtual teaching does not help in these points and should return to the classroom immediately and from there propose a hybrid learning teaching (virtual and face-to-face), since virtual teaching has many benefits and improvements for learning [6]. The University of Medellin together with other companies and local government investigated through learning platforms the learning styles of university students using artificial intelligence for this Kolb's learning styles were used [15], elearning is practiced in universities thanks to ICT as the first class teaching worldwide, it is applied in all courses especially in mathematics forgetting the traditional class and making use of digital technology e-learning is gradually imposed on the old methodologies [16] This pandemic of Covid-19 promoted virtual teaching and learning environments at all levels, as well as in higher education it was adapted from cultures, policies and inclusive practices to reflect its management and application; this process was done with professionals from the University of Manchester whose result was a guide with information in a quantitative and qualitative way for the development of virtual environments with e-learning [17]. The face-to-face university courses became online courses due to Covid-19, even mathematics courses had to use various technologies for teaching and learning, e-learning whose environment helped positively with support of virtual platforms in academic performance in many universities, resulting in significantly positive mathematics learning and performance [18] Positive changes were seen in teachers after receiving trainings in digital competencies topics, whose effects were greater use of digital resources, professional commitment, improvements in the quality of evaluation, better activities in teaching and in students empowerment was noticed; All these results were thanks to the fluid communication and cooperation of the institution which provided them with digital technologies with the sole purpose of improving learning and teaching [19]
