Meaningful Learning in Virtual Environments and the Andragogic Accompaniment In The Carabobo Local Center Of The National Open University

Abstract

Innovation in the current educational field, taking into account that we live immersed in the knowledge society, demands having quality professionals who can make thoughtful use of Virtual Learning Environments in order to achieve significant learning. For these reasons, the present research was carried out with the objective of proposing meaningful learning strategies in virtual environments, for andragogical accompaniment at the Carabobo Local Center of the National Open University, theoretically based on the theories of meaningful learning according to Ausubel (1983), andragogical accompaniment according to Salazar, Rengifo and Oropeza (2013) and Virtual Environments according to Salinas (2011). The Methodological Framework under a quantitative approach following Hernández, Fernández, and Baptista (2010). The type of study was framed within non-experimental descriptive research according to Hernández (2017). The sample was made up of 10 teachers from the National Open University. The techniques and instruments that were applied to collect the data results were the dichotomous survey according to what was expressed by Arias (2012). The results obtained from the analysis of the data allowed us to know the weaknesses that teachers present in terms of the management of Virtual Learning Environments in Andragogic Accompaniment. The results served as elements for the development of the proposal, which is expected to raise awareness and strengthen the innovative teaching strategies to be used by teachers.
