Percepción de estudiantes sobre el uso del videoblog como recurso digital en educación superior

Abstract

Technological tools are part of the learning and teaching processes, especially in online training contexts. Under this reality, the present article is based on an experience where the videoblog is used as a didactic resource. The aim is to know the students’ perception of pupils about the usefulness of this resource in the learning process, as well as the incidence of variables such as gender or age in their value.

The perception of the 73 students enrolled in the Primary Education Degree that compose the sample has been recollected through an instrument designed ad hoc for the research. In a first section, we have collected the socio-demographic information of the scholar (gender and age), while the second is composed by 21 items linked to 3 dimensions (communicative, instrumental and pedagogical).

The results show that students perceive positively the use of the videoblog as a resource for the learning processes, highlighting its potential for the oral and written expression as well as for meaningful, autonomous and group learning. Significant differences are also obtained in terms of age and gender, being the younger women who perceive that the videoblog is a more useful teaching resource
