Abstract

This work analyzes the use of a virtual learning platform within the teaching-learning process as support for presence to verify the improvement of academic performance in Secondary students. Through a descriptive-participatory, quantitative methodology with two mixed questionnaires (pre and post) validated as research instruments, a diagnostic evaluation was carried out on a sample of 60 students in the biology subject of the third year of Baccalaureate. For this purpose, the questionnaire was distributed prior to the educational intervention with B-Learning; Subsequently, a virtual classroom was created within the Google Classroom platform, with disciplinary materials and interactive tasks for participating students to work on said content. Finally, the questionnaire was distributed again (post) to know the perception of the B-Learning resource after the intervention. The results show positive data about this type of resources and platforms in combination with face-to-face teaching. Furthermore, the motivating value of B-Learning and virtual classrooms for the teaching and learning of specific content and their capacity for the development of digital skills of 21st century citizens is confirmed.
