Evaluation of an online training based on collaborative learning in future mathematics teachers

Abstract

The objective of this research is to present the results of the study on the impact of an educational proposal based on online collaborative learning, and that has been carried out in a university with online classes and through virtual learning environments. This study uses an experimental design using a mixed technique, combining quantitative and qualitative methodology in two phases. For this, the application is carried out, firstly, of an ad hoc questionnaire (n = 42) and, later, a discussion group with the participating students on the analysis of the first one. The results show that the students of this subject have improved in the use of digital tools for the creation of didactic resources from collaborative online work. On the other hand, it is concluded from this study that, for a better performance of these activities, an active and voluntary participation is required on the part of all the students in their online training.
