Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to know the influence of the virtual technological environment implemented in a private university in Lima in relation to student satisfaction and how they meet the requirements accepted by traditional education. The evaluation was carried out in a correlational explanatory way developed with a sample of 153 students of the Business career randomly selected in the courses of Statistics and Computer Tools in the virtual modality of a private university in Lima, to whom the Distance Learning Environment Survey (DELES) was applied, supported by a referential study carried out in 2003. This study has shown that most of the students are satisfied with the teaching methodology in the virtual modality and the knowledge developed has been more applicable than in traditional education. Consequently, it can be affirmed that there is a direct relationship between the degree of influence of the factors of the virtual environment and student satisfaction, culminating in the importance and approval of the student. This result is based on constructivist theory.

Introduction

online education since its beginnings in the nineties in Australia, New Zealand, North America and the United Kingdom was a revolutionary example of innovative education aimed at areas where schooling by traditional means was difficult. Its first uses were applied in companies in the leisure industry with training needs. Educational software developers have undoubtedly demonstrated a progressive and diversified growth as a support strategy in this modality, presenting to date a wide variety of platforms that have been moving from dot-edu to dot-com (Nagles, 2017).

As a result of the novel implementation of virtual programs by universities, arguments have been expressed that support dissatisfaction on the part of students, some experiences has discredited the quality from the platform to the contents of these. Among the various negative references, there are teachers without methodology or limited in the use of computer tools with fear to new technologies, lack of technical skills of specialized courses, unstable student attention spaces, limited attention in response time to the need for academic reinforcement, limited interaction necessary in face-to-face classes, limited

In educational institutions linked to a growing technological development hand in hand with certifications and permits, a series of virtual courses have been presented focused on a commercial rather than academic objective which neglects the experience and talent of teachers with excellent academic competencies, accepting limited professional profiles for a course that requires minimal experience, discrediting the quality of the educational services presented (Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (2020).

Currently, higher education institutions have been forced to guarantee the right to education through virtual media due to the pandemic generated by Covid-19, so the challenge of these institutions is to maintain the quality of their face-to-face programs by migrating their pedagogical processes to a change never seen before, put 2019, the virtual modality was optional for students who demand this type of service, but because of the global situation, it became mandatory thanks to the measures of compulsory isolation (Inter-American Development Bank, 2020). This implies challenges for the management of education, since there must be an efficient process of training and training for teachers in the use and implementation of digital strategies to implement their academic plans (Artavia & Castro, 2019). The number of questions that this pandemic decreed by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, with respect to education worldwide and the pedagogical processes to which it would have to be subjected to meet the academic objectives, are innumerable. However, the future of education, although it cannot be foreseen, everything indicates that it will maintain guidelines based on the use of digital platforms with the firm purpose of reaching more and more people interested in their professional training, which undoubtedly for the university authorities is a goal in quality and satisfaction of all stakeholders (Pérez-López et al., 2021.

As positive references, strategies have been supported to order the implementation of these courses with a successful technical experience of the teacher that involved a selection process, in turn the accompaniment of updated computer tools and constant training that allowed the teacher a constant improvement in the academic dynamics with the implementation of feedback strategies to improve the interaction of the teacher with the student (Education, 2016). It is precisely the commitment on the part of teachers, which have driven the different educational institutions, to the constant training and education of the same with the purpose of having teachers prepared to perform their task and perform their work of sharing knowledge under circumstances never experienced before, but with the full confidence that their commitment to society allows them to be flexible to changes (García Aretio, 2020).

The use of digital platforms for the development of academic activities requires an effort not only from the administrative management of universities, but also from the faculty, which must align strategies to achieve student satisfaction (Castellano Gil et al., 2021) (Educación, 2016). Taking into account the imminent change in teaching methodologies, including the transformation of learning that had never before been necessarily exposed to the mandatory migration of academic processes from the classroom to the screen of mobile devices, computers, among others (Covarrubias Hernández, 2021)

The importance of the present research is to evaluate the factors linked to student satisfaction with the virtual teaching modality implemented in a private university in Lima related to the aforementioned background. The study developed supports as a hypothesis the importance of establishing a department with the technology and professional team with the methodological academic competencies to direct, coordinate, organize and control the teaching process, evaluating specialized teachers not only in technical skills and professional experience but with an updated scope of methodologies and information technology according to the courses.

The interest of this research begins with the evaluation of the implementation of virtual audiovisual tools in education, generating a scope of definition between the relationship that exists between the factors that impact student satisfaction in a virtual modality environment, taking into account that in studies conducted, under this modality, 99% of teachers use e-mail to carry out the assignment of academic activities, 96% use videoconferencing stating that these are the tools that help in a better way in the teaching-learning process (Torres et al., 2021). The studies of González (2011) state that the aspect that best represents the quality of a University is student satisfaction, as well as Sánchez (2018) who emphasizes that one of the fundamental factors that determines the quality of the training received is student satisfaction. This study aims to address issues that are not widely used such as the importance of the development of courses in virtual modality and student satisfaction, given that the ideal for a company that aims at quality would be to satisfy its customers in all its transactions.

n = 297

Where the variables used are: (n) the size of the sample to be obtained, N the population composed of 1,294 students surveyed at the close of the 2018 period with a confidence level of 95% and a statistical error of 5%. Resulting in a statistical sample of 297 surveys.

It should be noted that the surveys were applied in person in order to guide the perception of the responses to the study with the minimum margin of error in the interpretation.

In order to prepare a comparative analysis of the sector, two universities with a comparative pseudonym were considered with the purpose of establishing equivalent confidentiality guidelines. The San Ignacio de Loyola University called "University B" and the Technological University of Peru called "University C".

University B, according to the report Number of students enrolled in private universities, 2011-2017 INEI, show a total number of entrants at the national level of 22,028 for the code "University B". It is worth noting that Los Olivos district represents 2%. This reference allows to obtain a population of 441 students for university B.

  • Be present during the hours of a virtual course with a group of students to validate informative competencies and procedures prior to activation.
  • Record the data measured during the investigation of this process.

Results

The results of the first three questions of the implemented tool are presented in this document. According to the graph presented in Figure 1 with the title "How important is the professor's support with respect to the functions to be performed in my virtual courses at university A", with the relational results of 4 questions that are classified by the items that indicate: The professor finds time to answer me, helps me identify difficulties in the subject of study, the professor responds quickly to my questions, gives me valuable feedback on the completion of my assignments.

Figure 1: Detail of Survey Conducted on the Sample of 297 Business School Students Applied at University a in 2018 Period.

The question related to "If I have doubts, the teacher finds time to answer", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 35% (105 students). This reference shows that the teacher manages to divide and take advantage of the time, giving time for the students, helping them in any difficulty of understanding that may arise when studying their subjects. In reference to the specific objective that measure the answers to the following question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the teacher's support with the student's satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? The result reflects that it is a very important factor that students have their ideas clear and do not present doubts in relation to some subject, and who better than the teacher to help regarding these issues.

The question related to "The teacher helps me to identify the difficulties in the subject of study", the most representative result indicates the value "partially agree" represented by 32% (95 students). This reference shows that the teacher does reach out to the students helping them in the difficulties they face when studying the subject and this in turn provokes in the students an interest to continue studying. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the teacher's support with the student's satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? The result, according to commented realities, show that it is a very important factor, first starting with the teacher-student relationship generating satisfaction by having all their ideas clear.

The question related to "The teacher responds quickly to my questions", the most representative result indicates the value "Indifferent" represented by 29% (87 students). This reference shows that the student does not feel committed and does not recognize the importance of the virtual teaching modality. In this section, it can be interpreted in turn that the students do not give the necessary value to the virtual courses dictated and this disinterest will generate problems in their grades. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the professor's support with the student's satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? the result, according to realities commented, show a very determinant factor in the importance given by the student. In this case, more follow-up should be done to students with these evaluation surveys.

The question related to "the valuable feedback given by the teacher", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 32% (95 students). This reference shows that there is still a percentage of students who do not consider the total support of the teacher. This detail is an intermediate point in important reference of the degree of student satisfaction on the virtual teaching modality. In this section, it can be interpreted that the teachers who teach virtual courses are not yet adapted to the appropriate methodology of monitoring and audiovisual interaction to validate whether students effectively understood. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the teacher's support with student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? it can be interpreted, according to commented realities, that it is still in the process of improvement and it is necessary to make more feedback workshops to students.

According to the graph presented in Figure 2 with the title "How important is the professor's support with respect to the functions to be performed in my virtual courses at university A", with the relational results of 4 questions that are classified by the items that indicate: The professor guides me in an adequate way, encourages me to participate, is easy to get in touch with and provides me with Feedback.

Figure 2: Detail of Survey Conducted on the Sample of 297 Business School Students Applied at University a in 2018 Period.

According to the results related to the question that mentions "The professor adequately orients my questions", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 34% (101 students). This reference shows that not all teachers manage to provide a correct orientation so that some students are not left without an orientation regarding their questions and this would be very detrimental in their university career. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the methodology applied to solve problems in a private university in Lima in 2018? it can be interpreted, in accordance with commented realities, that groups of teachers should be used with a correct number of students so that in this way all of them can be oriented.

According to the results related to the question: "The teacher encourages me to participate", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 36% (106 students). This reference shows that the students do manage to participate in their virtual classes, showing that there is interest and that they know about the class topic. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? it can be interpreted that there are students who fail to understand the class provided by the teacher, in this way, it is evident that all students participate in class, so the classes have to be more dynamic to call the attention of the student.

According to the results related to the question: "It is easy to get in touch with the teacher", the most representative result indicates the value "Indifferent" represented by 27% (79 students). This reference shows that not all students are able to reach the level of trust towards the teacher, demonstrating shyness in their interventions in virtual classes. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the teacher's support with the student's satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? It is interpreted that there are students who find it difficult to make an intervention in class and the teacher has to provide confidence and make them understand that there is no problem in making mistakes.

According to the relational results to the question: "The teacher provides me with positive and negative feedback (information) about my work", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 38% (114 students). This reference shows that the teacher verifies the information obtained by the student and in reference to that provides them with information depending on whether they need it or on the contrary should take it away. In reference to the specific objective that measures the answers to the question: In what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the teacher's support with the student's satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? It can be interpreted that the teacher does not perform the constant support to all, and student pages should be used to facilitate the information to the students.

According to the graph presented in Figure 3 with the title "How important is the teacher's support with regard to the functions to be performed in my virtual courses at university B", with the relational results of 4 questions that are classified by the items: if I have any doubts the teacher finds time to answer me, helps me to identify difficulties in the subject of study, answers my questions quickly, gives me valuable feedback on the completion of my tasks (practicals, assignments, etc.).

Figure 3: Details of The Survey Conducted on A Sample of 206 Business School Students at University B In 2018.

According to the results to the question: "If I have any doubt, the teacher finds time to answer me", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 33% (67 students). This reference shows that the teacher does not divide the necessary time to solve the doubts of the students, creating a discomfort on the part of the students. In reference to the specific objective that measures in what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the support of the teacher with student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in the year 2018? This result can be interpreted according to the realities commented that it is very important that students have clear ideas and do not have doubts in relation to any subject and who better than the teacher to help with regard to these issues?

According to the results of the question: "The teacher helps me to identify the difficulties in the subject of study", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 39% (80 students). This reference shows that some students do manage to receive help from the university teacher in the difficulties they may encounter in each subject, leading to an interest in continuing to study that course. In reference to the specific objective that measures in what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the support of the teacher with student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in the year 2018? This result can be interpreted according to the realities commented that a timetable should be established in class where students can raise their difficulties that arise in relation to the course and because it is a very important factor that they have a teacher-student relationship generating satisfaction by having all their ideas clear.

According to the results of the question: "The teacher responds quickly to my questions", the most representative result indicates the value "Indifferent" represented by 29% (59 students). This reference shows that some students do not find an interest on the part of the university teacher and do not recognize the importance of the virtual teaching modality, giving an unnecessary value to asking questions in class. In reference to the specific objective that measures in what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the support of the teacher with student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in 2018? This result can be interpreted according to the realities commented that the importance given by the student is a very important factor, in this case it is necessary to follow up the students more closely with these evaluation surveys.

According to the results to the question: "The teacher gives me valuable feedback on the completion of my tasks (internships, assignments, etc.)", the most representative result indicates the value "Partially agree" represented by 40% (82 students). In reference to the specific objective that measures in what way the factors linked to teaching in virtual modality are related to the support of the professor with student satisfaction in a private university in Lima in the year 2018?
