Generation of knowledge about virtual teaching-learning in higher education: emerging aspects Generación del conocimiento sobre la enseñanza-aprendizaje virtual en educación superior: aspectos emergentes

Abstract

The advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has transformed higher education, especially in the field of virtual teaching-learning. In this context of constant evolution, it is important to explore the emerging aspects in the generation of knowledge about virtual education in higher education. The documentary analysis method was used, collecting information from the last five years. The results showed that the generation of knowledge, in doctoral studies, is fundamental for education. Various methodological approaches and data collection techniques were employed to address issues related to higher education and ICT. The conclusions highlight the importance of research in education and its practical implications, reflecting the challenges and opportunities of education in the digital age. The generation of knowledge is essential to improve educational practice and guide policies and practices in this field. There is a lack of consideration of social constructionism as a theoretical perspective, which limits the understanding of social phenomena and the interpretation of reality. This perspective can enrich research by recognizing the importance of participation, interaction, and critical reflection in the educational research process.
