Resumo

La educación virtual fue la herramienta que el mundo académico universitario implementó para responder a los desafíos que trajo consigo la pandemia por COVID-19. La UPAP, al igual que todas las instituciones universitarias importantes del Paraguay, se ha adaptado y ha apostado por la plataforma CANVAS, con la que ha hecho posible que la formación académica profesional, en las distintas carreras de grado y en las diferentes regiones del país, sigan desarrollándose con cierta normalidad. La investigación tuvo como objetivo describir la experiencia del alumnado de dos años con clases presenciales y clases virtuales de las distintas carreras de grado en las diferentes regiones donde está instalada la universidad. Específicamente, se indagó con respecto al desarrollo pedagógico en la educación virtual y un posible retorno a la presencialidad ¿qué prefieren los alumnos? Se aplicó una encuesta a 415 alumnos de las carreras, tomando en cuenta 12 filiales de las 48 que posee la institución. Se discuten los resultados tomando en cuenta que se visibiliza una buena aceptación de la modalidad virtual, no obstante, la presencialidad es la más preferida seguida de la modalidad semipresencial.
