EL IMPACTO DEL ENTORNO VIRTUAL DE APRENDIZAJE (EVA) EN EL PROCESO DE ENSEÑANZA-APRENDIZAJE EN EL INSTITUTO TECONLÓGICO SUPERIOR LA CASTELLANA DE LOJA (ITEC)

Abstract

In this research project, it was proposed to analyze the impact of the use of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in the teaching-learning process at the Castellana Higher Technological Institute of Loja (ITEC). The hypothesis proposed is that the EVA (Virtual Learning Environment) is a resource that facilitates a more efficient and participatory educational process. Using a mixed methodology, with quantitative and qualitative instruments, interviews and surveys were conducted with students and teachers to collect data on their experiences and perceptions of the EVA. The main results indicate that the EVA significantly improves communication and student engagement, although it faces challenges in digital literacy and technological infrastructure. Teachers also require continuous training to make the most of the tools available. In conclusion, the EVA has a positive impact on the ITEC educational process, but its effectiveness depends on adequate implementation and continuous technical and pedagogical support.
