E-LEARNING STRATEGIES FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF TRADITIONAL PRAXIS IN THE AREA OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to design teaching strategies in virtual environments (EEV) for the transformation of the traditional praxis of the National Training Program (PNF) in the area of physical education at the Universidad Nacional Experimental del Magisterio “Samuel Robinson” (UNEM) in the state of Guárico, Venezuela. Regarding the method, Participatory-Transformative Action Research (PTAR) was used. The participating actors (PA) were the eighteen (18) research teachers (DI) who worked in the aforementioned context. The results allowed concluding that the e-learning strategies increased the degree of significance of the teaching strategies used and there was a new conception of physical education in terms of methodology and rigid ways of evaluating the activities. On the other hand, new forms of communication were established through the internet, cell phones, technological equipment, among others, providing spaces for online training and ways of organizing themselves. It was possible to break the barriers of traditionalism in the pedagogy used in physical education and reduce the digital gap of teachers.
