The Virtual Classroom as a Tool to Support Teaching in a Career Designed under the Skills Scheme. Assessment and Recognition of Students

Competency-Based Education (CBE) is a didactic method based on five fundamental axes: Knowledge (knowledge), Know-How (skills), Know-How (attitudes in accordance with the environment), wanting to Do (motivation) and Being Able to Do (personal capacity). Based on this vision, the Faculty of Engineering of the Central University of Venezuela created the first degree program under this approach: Industrial Process Engineering. The different subjects of the curriculum aim to transmit both the knowledge contained in the knowledge syllabus and to develop the other four competencies mentioned above, with the virtual classroom serving as an instrument for the dissemination and strengthening of the five competencies associated with each course. The research work presented shows the results of a series of surveys prepared and disseminated in the virtual classroom between 2012 and 2023, where the students themselves value the use of ICT as tools to develop knowledge, thus having the presented work the purpose of showing if they help to enhance the learning of skills and concluding on the positive side of the use of electronic instruments. Methodologically, the work is based on the quantitative paradigm since, through the data obtained, the questions posed are answered.
