Analysis of the Usefulness of the Basic Program of Teacher Training in a Blended Learning Modality

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to evaluate the usefulness of the Basic Teacher Training Program in the Blended-Learning (BL) modality for teachers using a descriptive method through a cross-sectional survey with the participation of 35 university teachers. The edX platform was used as a virtual classroom, where the participants had different learning material available such as videos, readings, technical notes, evaluation rubrics, and face-to-face classes for training. The results obtained in the evaluations allowed measuring the program’s learning objectives. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate the usefulness of the program, the participants’ perception of the quality of the education obtained, and its usefulness for the development of their classes. The results show that the BL modality is beneficial, 77.2% of the participants consider their learning to be very good and excellent, and 57.1% consider that the learning is relevant and applicable in their classes.
