Resumen
El aprendizaje virtual se ha incorporado en los escenarios de las instituciones educativas como una respuesta a las exigencias y necesidades de las nuevas generaciones, que requieren la formación de una serie de competencias para desenvolverse en una sociedad globalizada en cuanto a la información y a los medios de comunicación.
La presente investigación propone un programa de superación orientado a promover el uso de la enseñanza virtual en los docentes de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Villa Clara. Se realizó un estudio de tipo exploratorio y descriptivo, desde una perspectiva metodológica basada en el paradigma mixto (cuantitativo-cualitativo) en el período comprendido de septiembre del 2012 a enero del 2013. La muestra estuvo representada por 73 profesores de la Sede Central de
la Facultad de Medicina. Se utilizaron como métodos de investigación los del nivel teórico: el analítico sintético, el inductivo deductivo, el histórico lógico; del nivel empírico: el análisis documental, la encuesta, y el criterio de especialistas. Se aplicaron técnicas de estadística descriptiva que posibilitaron los análisis porcentuales, empleando los recursos que nos brinda el programa estadístico SPSS, versión 13 para Windows.
Como resultado más significativo del diagnóstico se constató la necesidad de preparar al claustro y orientar la capacitación de los docentes para emplear adecuadamente técnicas y recursos informáticos en la elaboración y desarrollo de cursos virtuales utilizando la plataforma Moodle. El programa de superación presentado fue sometido a criterio de especialistas, los cuales coincidieron en lo factible de la propuesta valorándola de positiva.
