Covid-19 and precariousness of transversal skills in university students. A hypothesis based on a statistical test in Peru; [COVID-19 Y PRECARIEDAD DE COMPETENCIAS TRANSVERSALES EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS. UNA HIPÓTESIS A PARTIR DE LA PRUEBA ESTADÍSTICA EN PERÚ]

Abstract

Based on the hypothesis by which virtual education would negatively condition the development of transversal skills, a statistical investigation is carried out among university students from Lurigancho-Chosica, Peru. The population was 880 students, and the sample was 226 students, the technique was a survey and the variables were investigated directly, according to their own terminology. The results show (% Nagelkere PR = 15.7%), the Wald score of 23.402 greater than 4, which is the cut-off point for the analysis model. Because it is less than 0.05 (p = 0.000), the null hypothesis is rejected and it is concluded that distance education has a positive but low influence on the acquisition of transversal skills. The results are contrasted with the significance of transversal competencies as a new epistemological axis in the cultural and economic dynamics that are nested in the world. It is concluded about the dangers that the distance modality presents in the development of these skills and, consequently, the need to review their scope. © 2024 Universidad Nacional Experimental Rafael Maria Baralt.
