Experience of a didactic strategy for online learning in the Faculty of Economics

Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 had economic, political and social effects. Higher education was resized by reducing and eliminating face-to-face learning; therefore, teachers had to approach distance classes with an emphasis on online learning. The objective of this research is to de-sign a didactic strategy to improve the on-line teaching-learning process at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the University of Camagüey "Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz". The methods used in the investigation provided a solid basis for the research problem and enabled the projection of the Didactic Strategy. In the case of empirical methods, observation, documentary review, interview, and surveys stand out. Mathematical-statistical methods allowed grouping and tabulation of information, and presenting it in tables and statistical graphs. Research was developed within the Education, Economy and Accounting, and Finance undergraduate program using platforms like Moodle, WhatsApp and/or email, thus achieving the objectives set in curricula, teachers and students were motivated to implement online learning. Research systematization is recommended for future courses.
