Uso de metodologías interactivas para la enseñanza virtual de la geografía, del tercer grado de la Escuela Zoila Ugarte de Landívar

Abstract

New technologies are currently energizing the way of teaching through virtual classrooms. The teaching of geography and the analysis of student learning find that traditional lessons are very monotonous and boring, and that geography does not apply to everyday life or professional activities. The research allowed to publicize the importance of interactive methodologies in the development of learning of geography students of the third grade of the Zoila Ugarte de Landívar School, within virtual classrooms, highlighting the performance of teachers as managers and providers of the knowledge and participation of students as recipients of the same. Within the use of technological methodology, the most relevant factor is the interactivity that exists between both parties, that is, from the teacher to the student and vice versa, trying to form a work environment appropriate to the demands of virtual classes. However, during the development of the research it was noted that there are teachers who are not used to handling new technologies and still live in traditional teachings. To do this, alternatives were sought to provide teachers with the necessary skills to meet their needs in terms of the management of new technologies, platforms and virtual tools to teach classes, emphasizing the geography subject that was the central focus of the present investigation.
