These are: cognitive theory, constructivism and meaningful learning. informatics, for the adjustment of the pedagogical, methodological and didactic elements to the platform.
The Virtual Pedagogical Model represents a set of relationships that define the educational task under criteria, arguments and sustainable pedagogical principles, that is, through this model the goals are oriented, the contents are determined, it is specified how to present them (in what order and time), it is established what methodology to use according to the field of study, it is explained how the teacher's interactions with the student and the contents should be, and it is defined how the progress will be regulated and the results will be judged.
This model is currently in the validation stage, therefore, it does not constitute a closed and finished model, but rather an open and permanent construction model. With this, virtual education aspires to be consistent and solid, not only in its technical and technological support but also in its pedagogical foundation, since this is the most important challenge to make virtual education a true educational alternative.
The model proposes a comprehensive evaluation that covers the beginning, development and end of the educational process; based on elements of self-assessment, co-assessment and assessment by the teacher. Therefore; The evaluation must allow the issuance of judgments that determine at what level the competencies have been developed in the students.
Due to the diversity of content, objectives and resources of each virtual chair, it is not possible to establish a single method, strategy or technique to present and interact with knowledge in these environments.
But virtual education has been determined, according to the institutional philosophy, the curricular structure of virtual programs and the conception of the student; some guiding criteria: coherence, contextualization, experientiality, etc.
For the structuring or selection of methods that respond to the needs of the virtual student and that allow the proposed goals to be achieved.
