Didactic strategies under the andragogical approach for the performance of the facilitator

Abstract

The general objective of this research was to diagnose the types of didactic strategies under the andragogic approach used by the facilitator. Regarding the methodological part, a descriptive research is developed, with a qualitative hermeneutic approach; With a non-experimental field and cross-sectional design, the study population corresponded to 33 participants of the Bachelor's Degrees in the area of ​​Educational Sciences and Teaching Staff of the Interamerican University of Distance Education of Panama. In this sense, an interview and a questionnaire were used to collect the information, which was validated with the judgment of five (5) experts, all of them doctors in education. For the reliability of the instrument, the result was 0.79 of high magnitude according to the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient. The statistical treatment was with the IBM SPSS Statistics 18.0 computer program from which the scores and percentages of each item are obtained. It is concluded, through the results observed in table 1 and graph 1, that the facilitator never and almost never promotes case studies as a technique for developing skills. Likewise, the facilitator never and almost never develops collaborative work for the construction of learning. Similarly, the facilitator never and almost never develops problem-based learning to promote teamwork.
