Development of techno-pedagogical competencies to design a virtual classroom: a case study

Abstract

Problem: During the post-pandemic period, different authors have considered a requirement for the transformation of education, the design of a techno-pedagogical methodology for the construction of innovative virtual learning resources. Objective: to develop techno-pedagogical skills (CTP) for the design of a virtual classroom in Moodle. Method: A mixed methods design is assumed. A nonprobabilistic
sample of n = 177 subjects was used. Two instruments were applied: (a) an Analytical Rubric, administered by the teacher and (b) a Questionnaire self-administered by the participants.
The data was analyzed by using statistics and the Content Analysis technique. Results: (a) 98% of participants achieved all planned CTP; (b) 90% considered that the course had a high level of quality; and (c) this learning experience has been considered by the participants as highly enriching and rewarding. Conclusion: The development of CTP in the design of virtual classrooms is possible when the approach of the social construction of learning and the method of learning by doing and reflecting on action are used.
