Motivaciones, formación y planificación del trabajo en equipo para entornos de aprendizaje virtual

Abstract

This work addresses the study of the different motivations and potential skills of students in the context of virtual teamwork environments. The objective was to identify those determining factors and motivations that higher education students possess, who were surveyed in different business schools in Madrid and Andalusia, Spain. Through a descriptive analysis, the main influence factors of virtual environments from the student's perspective were identified. The motivation of the students regarding their personal perspective as a student, their teachers and the institution where they pursue their studies were taken into account. In this way, different kinds of motivations and different degrees of influence were achieved, depending on the group analyzed. The results can help educational managers in the creation of strategies based on the multiple virtual environments that are currently offered, aimed at teamwork between students, student groups, teachers and with the educational institution itself. Likewise, these results can contribute to the improvement of the virtual services offered by the different educational institutions in their relationship with the students, in order to implement and enhance tools that allow improving teamwork in virtual learning environments.
