Didactic improvement to virtual tutoring

Abstract

In the Introduction to Telecommunications Engineering course, students do not show up for the virtual tutoring activities because they do not feel motivated. Based on a critical reflection of the teaching work with a qualitative and SoTL approach and under action research design, improvements to the activity are proposed. These improvements are the inclusion of multimedia and interactive material preparatory to virtual tutoring. On the other hand, the reflexive and critical work improved the teacher's empathy with the students, returning the protagonism paper to them, in accordance with the university's distance education model. The improvements were included in the virtual environments, and it is considered that they will increase of levels of participation once the course is reopened in the third quarter of 2023. Also, the work opens the door for other reflexive work and improvement of the teaching work in the other subjects of the course.
