Time management and its impact on satisfaction with virtual courses among university students in a Peruvian region

Abstract

At present, Peruvian universities have implemented the development of virtual courses; although this allows everyone to have access to higher education and to be able to train professionally to achieve better opportunities, there are still certain problems in terms of student performance, which are related to time management that can generate dissatisfaction towards the courses that are taught in this modality; in view of this, this article seeks to determine how time management affects satisfaction towards virtual courses in university students in the Ica region; For this purpose, the methodology was based on a quantitative approach, basic cross-sectional type, explanatory level, being the selected design non-experimental, causal correlational; the population consisted of students from different universities that have a branch within the Ica region, of which we worked with a sample of 139 students selected through a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience; for data collection, a questionnaire on time management and the short scale to measure satisfaction with virtual courses (SVC - S) were applied. Finally, the Nagelkerke coefficient indicates that the proposed variability model is able to explain 52.7% of the satisfaction with the virtual courses.
