Abstract

OBJECTIVE: establish the methodological foundation and model for a virtual degree at the undergraduate level, with an andragogical approach. METHOD: the methodology proposed for the execution of this research is mixed, using the strengths of qualitative and quantitative methods and thus finding a reality based, both on experiences and real data, that allow valid contributions. RESULTS: among the most notable results, it is observed that the methodology used in the degree is widely accepted by students. However, an evident need to increase interaction through synchronous sessions is identified. CONCLUSION: it can be concluded that a precise methodological definition for a virtual program has a determining impact on the results experienced by students who participate in said program. These results cover not only the grades obtained, but also the substantial achievements in terms of learning and the satisfaction perceived by students regarding their acquired knowledge and professional development during their academic training. Furthermore, this methodological definition significantly affects the overall quality of the program.
