This research aimed to determine the effects a digital badge program had on the academic performance and participation in online activities in the English I course. The research design was experimental with post-test and control group. The sample consisted of 18 students from the first semester, enrolled in a blended learning model in a private university in Lima. There were statistically significant differences between the control and experimental group, which favored the experimental group. In addition, an effect size of 4.56 was found, which was considered very large. Regarding academic performance, no statistically significant differences were found. However, the effect size was 0.60, considered moderate. In conclusion, the digital badge program encouraged participation in virtual academic activities; however, the results obtained in connection with academic performance are not entir...

La presente investigación buscó determinar los efectos de un programa de insignias digitales sobre el desempeño académico en el curso Inglés I y la participación en las actividades virtuales. El diseño de investigación fue experimental con post-prueba y grupo control.La muestra estuvo conformada por 18 estudiantes del primer ciclo, matriculados en modali-dad semipresencial en una universidad privada de Lima. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el grupo experimental y control, a favor del grupo experimental. Además, se halló un tamaño del efecto de 4.56, categoriza-do como muy grande. En el caso del rendimiento académico, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Sin embargo, el tamaño del efecto fue 0.60, considerado como moderado. En conclusión, el programa de insignias digitales fomentó la participación en las activida...

La crisis sanitaria ha generado una rápida expansión de la virtualidad en la educación superior; incluso se espera que ésta mantenga una fuerte presencia, una vez superada la pandemia. Sin embargo, en Perú existe una profunda desconfianza y percepción negativa respecto de esta modalidad, por lo que se hace necesario realizar estudios que corroboren lo que en otros países ha sido encontrado: que no deberían existir diferencias en el rendimiento académico a partir de cualquier modalidad. No obstante, se ha encontrado una mayor tasa de deserción en cursos virtuales, cuando se comparan con cursos presenciales, siendo las explicaciones a este fenómeno, diversas. Teniendo todo esto en consideración, el presente trabajo busca determinar el efecto de un curso en modalidad virtual en el rendimiento académico y deserción de grupo de estudiantes universitarios de una universidad priva...

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar los efectos del programa de insignias digitales en el rendimiento académico y la participación académica virtual de 32 estudiantes del primer ciclo en modalidad semipresencial de una universidad privada, utilizando un diseño cuasiexperimental con posprueba únicamente y grupo de control. Los resultados indican que hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa a favor del grupo experimental, considerando tanto el rendimiento académico como la participación académica virtual., en concordancia con lo encontrado previamente por otros autores como Iosup y Epema (2014) y Córdova Berona (2017). Se infiere que la realización de dichas actividades pudo promover el aprendizaje de los objetivos del curso y, por consecuencia, el incremento en la nota. Se concluye que el programa de insignias digitales, a partir de su impacto sob...

This research aimed to promote the participation of a group of students of the blended course Organizational Behavior (Institute of Superior Education IDAT, Lima-Peru), from the implementation of a digital badge program in the institution’s LMS. The results showed that there was a participation percentage of 94,6%, which was higher by 61.2% compared to another course of the same group of students, and higher by 24.51% compared to the remain courses of the same period. In addition, a survey was applied to the students about their experience in this program. Further exploration of the impact of digital badge programs is required, using an experimental methodology.
