Perception of kinesiology students about the incorporation of the b-learning methodology and the use of mobile devices in the Movement Analysis course

Summary

Introduction: the increase in the number of students in health careers makes it necessary to include new teaching-learning methodologies. The literature supports the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and b-learning as resources to address this problem. The purpose was to evaluate the perception of Kinesiology college students about the incorporation of ICTs and b-learning in the Movement Analysis course. Material and Method: a questionnaire was applied to 94 students. Evidence of construct validity was determined through confirmatory factor analysis and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha. The median (Q1-Q3) of each dimension was estimated, determining possible differences using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: a survey was defined with 5 dimensions and 27 items. The statements loaded in the 5 dimensions. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was α=0.83. The results according to the Median (Q1-Q3) by dimension were: General Perception of the Methodology 4.83 (4.67-5), Perception of the materials used 4.75 (4.5-5), Perception of Self-learning 4 09 (3.82-4.27), Interaction with teachers and classmates 4.75 (4.25-5), Evaluation 5 (4.67-5) and the overall grade was 6 (6- 7). Discussion: the questionnaire has adequate evidence of validity and reliability, there were statistically significant differences between dimensions, especially in Perception of Self-learning. The students value positively the organization in the innovation processes in teaching and evaluation methodologies, the use of systems digital as facilitators of their learning and the opportunity for autonomous learning.
