The university is an important pillar in sustainable development; however, COVID-19 imposed new dynamics that called for rethinking university praxis to achieve this mission, and although the systematization of good practices is a powerful mechanism for understanding educational success, this perspective of positive change has been little developed. Hence, the present study aimed to identify positive cores of faculty in their successful post-COVID-19 performance. A qualitative methodological approach was deployed, with the Netnography method, complemented with elements of positive psychology, appreciative inquiry, and management of formative potentialities. The online community consisted of 1238 university teachers from 10 Latin American countries, who participated for two months in an appreciative interview as an asynchronous journey of constructive proposals, for the active co-construc...

The use of humor in the classroom by teachers plays a strategic and pedagogical role in facilitating teaching and student learning. The objective of the study was to characterize university teachers' perspectives on the use of humor in the virtual classroom. To achieve this, a quantitative approach, descriptive in scope, was used, using the survey technique. A questionnaire was applied to 259 teachers from a private university in Lima. It is found that 96% of the teachers use humorous elements in their virtual classes and show a marked preference for the use of humorous narration, above the use of humorous visual resources. In addition, teachers consider that humor improves attention, motivation and closeness with the student. Finally, 86% of university teachers totally agree or agree that humor is a competence that they can develop, so universities should implement training strategies t...

The application of Online Collaborative Learning (ACL) in the classroom is a necessary challenge within the framework of digital literacy to generate relevant learning for life; therefore, it requires proper management. This work focuses on diagnosing the current state of the ACL and identifying its success factors. The applied methodology was a study with a mixed approach, applying the multiple case study method (design) by questionnaire and semi-structured interview to teachers and university students. The scientific contribution of this research is related to the revelation of new ACL-enhancing processes such as the development of critical-reflective thinking, assertive-empathic communication, self-managed responsible empowerment and the realization of proactive online entrepreneurship projects. It is concluded that the strengthening of the teaching digital competence, as well as the ...

Online collaboration contributes to the achievement of relevant learning such as learning to know, do, be and live together. Therefore, a new instrument (ACL21) is proposed to measure the online collaborative work of higher education students, based on the Collaborative Learning model and the Online Collaborative Learning model. The aim is to determine the validity and reliability of the Online Collaborative Learning Questionnaire 21 - ACL21. For this purpose, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out on a sample of 214 students. Subsequently, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied in a sample of 305 students to corroborate the structure of the model found in the EFA. It is found that the ACL21 is grouped into 2 factors called online group performance and online individual commitment. The ACL21 showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.945). Regardi...

The social and health crisis is a great challenge for education, as it requires a teacher prepared to "learn to learn" within a context of uncertainty. For this reason, the present study aims to carry out a descriptive and purposeful analysis of Collaborative Professional Learning (CPL), as a sustainable strategy and a driving force for continuous teacher training within the framework of quality education. For this, qualitative research was carried out by means of a semi-structured interview with eight international experts in education, which was conducted through the Atlas TI software version 7.5 in Spanish and subjected to thematic content analysis. The results revealed three emerging categories such as educational research supported by intergenerational collaboration, intra- and inter-institutional community resilience, and socio-emotional development needs for effective collaboratio...

La Universidad enfrenta constantes retos tecnológicos, socioculturales, ambientales, y otros, que requieren un docente líder en investigación para innovar el cambio organizacional de manera efectiva. De ahí que el presente estudio tenga como objetivo analizar las potencialidades del liderazgo científico investigativo de los docentes en la transformación del contexto universitario. Se aplicó una metodología de enfoque cualitativo desde el paradigma interpretativo, desplegando el método hermenéutico para analizar entrevistas a ocho expertos internacionales en educación y desarrollo organizacional. Fueron consideradas tres etapas: revisión documental, trabajo de campo e interpretación de datos cualitativos con el programa ATLAS.ti. Los resultados constatan dieciseis factores emergentes que se constituyen en líneas de trabajo para la consolidación del liderazgo científico inv...

ICT and digitization are transforming higher education, but one aspect that has been little addressed is student academic stress in this context. The objective of this research was to explore the relationship between teaching practices and academic stress in virtual learning environments. A quantitative study based on structural equation modeling was conducted using 6605 students from a public university in Lima. Two scales were applied and validated to assess specific dimensions of teaching practices and levels of academic stress. The scales demonstrated robust psychometric properties. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis allowed the identification of key underlying factors and the validation of the proposed theoretical model. Findings reveal indirect negative influences between teaching practices and academic stress. External factors like overload, distractions, and technologic...
