Effectiveness of teaching and learning processes in university students

Abstract

This work is based on a descriptive research, which allowed evaluating the effectiveness of the strategies used in the teaching-learning process of the subject operating systems. For its development, a field study was carried out, which allowed the analysis of the conditions of the subject, theoretical class vs. the efficiency of a practical class. A quantitative approach was used, based on a non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 35 students of the third level of the Information Technology Engineering course at ULEAM-Extensión El Carmen, period 2021-1. A survey was used for data collection, where the instrument was a questionnaire with multiple choice questions in the FORMS application, applied to evaluate the processes of a theoretical class and a practical class. The data were tabulated using the Microsoft Excel operating system. It was possible to determine the importance of teaching-learning strategies to achieve significant learning and it was found that significant knowledge is acquired through theoretical-practical processes. In addition, it is obtained that the effectiveness of teaching-learning through practice in complex subjects improves teaching and allows students to meet learning expectations.
