Abstract

The Teaching-Learning Process (PEA) in virtual environments requires permanent adaptation to change. Objective: to analyze the perception of the quality of the PEA in virtual environments and propose alternatives for improvement. Method: study with a qualitative approach of ethnomethodological design, through semi-structured interviews and dialogue/debate in focus groups. The sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience according to the saturation point. Results: seven categories emerged: 1) Quality of the PEA in virtual environments: motivation, active methodology and collaborative learning; 2). Limiting; 3). Strengthening of the active methodology: equipment and teacher-student interaction; 4). The tutorial processes strengthen both; 5). The value of practice; 6). Roles focused on theory-practice interaction; 7). Challenges and opportunities. Conclusion: The quality of the PEA in nursing in virtual environments is a process under construction, the challenges and opportunities concern everyone in logistical aspects and academic effort; viable thanks to the commitment of the participants and the resilience of the students.
