General teaching: a framework for virtual teaching

Abstract

Pedagogical and teaching practices have their justification in pedagogy and in the conceptions that teachers perform in teaching-learning, as well as the didactic practices are anchored in the general didactics and in the specific ones according to the area and the how it is required to transmit. In this last aspect this research is stopped to reflect and analyze how teaching is carried out in the virtual mode at the higher level of education.
It is proposed as an object of study to identify the beliefs and perceptions that higher education teachers have about general and specific didactics, For this reason we start from the guiding question How close is the university education teacher to the didactic practice? , Has the teaching-learning process in university areas remained in facts of teaching practice with a transmissionist tendency despite advances in digital technological resources for education?
An open survey was applied -through virtual mediation- to virtual education teachers from different areas of knowledge, whose academic training is not pedagogical. This allowed us to identify the concept of didactics that they possess and the relevance of the term in teaching practice, showing its use and viability in education with and through virtual means, in addition to the requirements of higher education in the preparation of teachers in teaching and learning.
