Los PLE’s en el desarrollo de competencias cognitivas desde la metodología sistémica en estudiantes universitarios
Journal Title: MASKANA - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The research focused on the evaluation of the application of personal learning environments to first semester students of the Biology and Chemistry program at the Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo (UNACH), with respect to the development of cognitive competencies based on a systemic methodological approach. The research design was quasi experimental and applied. Initially, through surveys it was diagnosed that 78,3% of students possessed a medium level of digital competencies that directly influenced the low level of cognitive competencies. At the end of the research it was found that students positively improved the creation and application of their own personal learning environments (PLE’s), given the applied systematic methodology that combines the hybrid way of virtual classroom, the e-portfolio and the web 2.0 tools, conceptualized and related about the Bloom’s Taxonomy. Data analysis yielded the arithmetic mean with the best PLE-output score and resulted with respect to the PLE-input in a difference of 29,261 points, equivalent to an improvement of 69,6% in cognitive competencies at the end of academic period. The findings suggest that students in their academic and professional career should continuously apply PLE’s like methodologies.
