Virtual environment to support the teaching-learning process of the General Zootechnics course

Abstract

The challenge of technical and professional education is the training of an average technician with a solid theoretical-practical preparation that allows the dizzying advances in science and technology to be assimilated. In the Animal Science-Veterinary specialty, the social assignment is given by the demand for “a highly competitive graduate, prepared to face the complex scientific and technical changes, based on the use of virtual learning environments; Its incorporation generates problems at the didactic level that require a solution with a view to contributing to the teaching-learning process. As a contribution, the research proposes a didactic model specified in a methodological procedure for the teaching-learning process with the use of virtual environments in the subject General Zootechnics. Methods such as the functional structural systemic were used to establish hierarchical relationships, dependency, subordination and coordination between the theoretical foundations and the components that make up the didactic model, as conclusions a didactic model is structured that offers the components and actions to follow. , through the relationships that occur between the integration of educational potentialities, project-based teaching-learning and contextualized interactive-formative evaluation; giving rise to the interactive appropriation of the content of the subject General Zootechnics as a new quality that distinguishes and characterizes this process, from the pedagogical sciences. A methodological procedure is developed as a practical agreement for the use of the virtual environment for the subject General Zootechnics.
