Application of pedagogical processes with the use of the Learning Management System (LMS) in technical high school students in automotive electromechanics

Abstract

Introduction: ICT opens the possibility of creating new spaces to interact with students, improving the interaction between educator and learner, hence the introduction of new Virtual Teaching Environments (VLE) inside and outside the classroom will encourage students to further expand their knowledge and participate in their intellectual development. Objective: To analyze the application of LMS in the pedagogical processes used by teachers to improve learning within the Electromechanical professional figure. Methodology: A mixed approach of a descriptive type, characterizing the methods that teachers manipulate in the application of LMS in pedagogical processes. It is also transversal in scope since this work was conducted with students from 1st to 3rd year of high school in the Primicias de la Cultura Educational Unit of Quito during the 2023 – 2024 school year. Results: The results showed that 71% of respondents say they have not heard of it, nor have any idea what LMS are. However, 47% of teachers always use orderly methods and techniques to start their classes, and 59% of respondents believe that innovation can always be achieved with the help of digital platforms, which is why 46% always prefer Canva. Conclusion: LMSs allow learners to customize their learning to suit their needs and learning style. In addition, they help establish, process, create, and allocate online learning materials to students. They also provide students with access to up-to-date educational content that reflects the latest advances in automotive technology. It is important to note that both teachers and students agree that with the help of digital tools, effective innovation in learning processes can be achieved.  General area of study: Education.
