Technology Enhanced Learning and Student Academic Performance at a Public University in Peru

Abstract

The adaptation of the teaching-learning process to virtuality, supported by the use of the academic platform in order to continue with educational activities, has gradually improved and has been reflected in the student's academic performance. The objective of the research was to analyze the learning strategies used by university students during the learning process enhanced by technology, to identify those used most frequently, as well as the relationships they have with the grade point average obtained in their academic performance. The study group was represented by a sample of 486 students from four academic programs of the Public University of Peru (Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga). It was a mixed-focus study that worked with the ACRA-Abridged questionnaire that was virtually delivered to the student to collect the strategies used for their virtual learning. It is concluded that, despite various problems related to connectivity, they are always motivated to successfully achieve learning, likewise, the training process of the platform's digital tools must continue, as well as guiding the student in their learning virtual.
