ENSEÑANZA DE LINGÜÍSTICA INGLESA, APRENDIZAJE BASADO EN INVESTIGACIÓN, DIARIOS DE REFLEXIÓN, APRENDIZAJE REMOTO EN LÍNEA;, PARTICIPACIÓN ESTUDIANTILResumen
La pandemia del Covid-19 impulsó la investigación sobre las estrategias y herramientas que se utilizan en la enseñanza virtual a distancia para apoyar la participación de los estudiantes. El presente estudio fue llevado a cabo durante la pandemia y tiene como objetivo contribuir a esta línea de investigación ilustrando cómo se integraron en un curso virtual a distancia de lingüística inglesa para la comunicación profesional empresarial dos herramientas que fueron implementadas con este propósito, proyectos basados en investigación y diarios de reflexión. Se llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido de las percepciones de los estudiantes a través del programa de software N-Vivo, y se examinó la valoración sobre el curso. Los resultados mostraron que los proyectos y diarios tuvieron un impacto positivo en las habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes de los estudiantes al mejorar su interés y reducir la sensación de aislamiento que resultaba de los confinamientos. Por tanto, se sugiere que los proyectos y diarios basados en investigación apoyan de forma potencial la participación de los estudiantes en entornos de aprendizaje que pueden afectar de forma negativa dicha participación, como son los cursos a distancia impartidos de manera virtual.
