Motivational factors to research and Virtual Learning Objects in Maesters students in Education Sciences
Abstract
The use of Information and Communication Technologies has increased in various areas, especially in education, where it is increasingly common to use virtual learning objects (OVA) to address various issues, which motivates students to work both individually and collaboratively. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation was to identify the motivational factors of a group of students of the Master's in Educational Sciences of a public institution of the state of Hidalgo (Mexico) around the work with the OVA in the learning process Of the investigation. To do this, a collective interview was conducted with 22 students (3 men and 19 women) of the Master's Degree in Educational Sciences from a public university in the state of Hidalgo (Mexico). The results show, based on the theory of expectations of Vroom (1964), that the motivation of study subjects decreases when they do not know which topic they can choose to develop in their research projects and when they can not rely on ICT for facilitate that task, since most still need to consolidate their skills to know clearly what, how and where to select the information required by their respective subjects of study. To address this situation, effective, efficient and relevant strategies must be created that focus on the variables that make it difficult for these participants to use technological tools, such as search engines, virtual platforms, data banks, research journals, among others.
