Sociodemographic factors associated with the self- planning of distance-teaching mode learning in master’s students in a Peruvian university

Abstract

The present investigative work acts as a purpose to determine the associate between demographic factors and the self-planning of learning in postgraduate students in a private Peruvian university. The methodology focused on a quantitative approach and a correlated descriptive design; the population consisted of 385 students and the sample was obtained under a random procedure from 176 students from two self-distance teaching mode masters programs at a Peruvian university, to whom a questionnaire was applied that had questions concerning the sociodemographic factors and a Likert scale with 20 items about the selflanning skills. For the inferential analysis, the Chi Square X2 statistic was applied; the results show that the skills for self-planning of learning are not related to gender, profession and type of work, but there is a strong association with age (Sig.0.01) and place of residence (Sig.0.02).
