ABSTRACT
The new methods in the twentieth century are
characterized by an increasingly less
expository and dogmatic teaching: things
instead of words; study by personal
observation instead of knowledge by the
teacher; real construction. In relation to the
above mentioned, agile or active
methodologies intend to generate dogmatic
and radical changes in the way in which
knowledge is carried and acquired, it has a
bilateral impact, since it is concerned both with
the teaching exercise and with the student's
perception, it proposes to place the student as
the protagonist axis on which knowledge is
built, mediated by previous knowledge,
valuing his subjective experience and
dismantling traditional paradigms. This is why
such active teaching methodologies have a
direct impact on the academic permanence of
students, since it enables active participatory
learning, where the learner explores his
potential and identifies vocations while
acquiring and assimilating knowledge, from a
personal frame of reference contextualized in

RESUMEN
Los nuevos métodos en el siglo XX se
caracterizan por una enseñanza cada vez
menos expositiva y dogmática: las cosas en
lugar de las palabras; el estudio por la
observación personal en lugar del
conocimiento por el maestro; la construcción
real. En relación a lo antes mencionado, las
metodologías agiles o activas pretenden
generar cambios dogmáticos y radicales en la
forma en la cual se lleva y adquiere el
conocimiento es de impacto bilateral, ya que,
se preocupa tanto por el ejercicio docente
como por la percepción del alumno, propone
ubicar al estudiante como ejes protagónicos
sobre el que se construye el conocimiento
mediado por saberes previos, valorando su
experiencia subjetiva, desmotando
paradigmas tradicionales. Es por esto que
dichas metodologías de enseñanza activa
tienen una incidencia directa en la
permanencia académica de los estudiantes, ya

participativo, donde el aprendiz explora sus

Introduction
The SENA Tecnoacademy is a learning scenario, equipped with emerging technologies
to develop innovation-oriented competencies, through project-based training, to
optimize useful knowledge that enables the apprentice for the world of work with
innovative solutions for companies and productive sectors.
At the beginning of this year, the National Learning Service (SENA), through its
Tecnoacademia program, provided more than 1,260 places for students of basic and
complementary secondary education, interested in the different lines of training in
science, technology and innovation in the sub-region of Eastern Antioquia, to enroll
and acquire free classroom training, which due to the effects of the current COVID 19
health emergency was forced to be developed virtually, framing certain sociological
factors that affect early class desertion.
The main sociological factors that affect virtual education dropout are the low
resources that families have to acquire technological tools such as digital equipment,
access and maintenance of connection networks in rural areas of Antioquia; the lack
of pedagogical adaptability by instructors in virtual environments, digital literacy on
the part of trainees, the lack of interactive spaces and feedback within the classroom,
the alteration of communication links with peers.
As well as the intrinsic motivational factors that play a determining role in
permanence, generating personal interpretations of facts and contextualized
situations about the training dynamics given in virtual learning environments.

An epistemic scan was made through different articles and research projects, which
allow the generation of a state of the art in which the results generated in previous and
recent research on the subject are compiled, establishing criteria of relationship in
academic desertion in virtual environments and how active methodologies can
mitigate or impact this problem.
Materials and methods
The study is of a mixed type, which consists according to Hernández et al (2014) in the
systematic integration of quantitative and qualitative methods in a single study in
order to obtain a more complete "photograph" of the phenomenon; they represent that
set of empirical and critical research processes through the collection and analysis of
quantitative and qualitative data, as well as their integration and joint discussion, to
make inferences product of all the information obtained, in order to achieve a greater
understanding of the phenomenon under study.
The research is developed with apprentices enrolled at the Center for Innovation,
Agroindustry and Aviation, whose ages range from 10 to 17 years old, who are in
elementary or middle school and are residents of the municipalities of Eastern
Antioquia.
Depending on the development of the project, the semi-structured interview is the
method used in the research to ask questions to a sample of participants via e-mail, in
order to collect and analyze the data that will serve as support for the research.

Source: Own elaboration
The information gathering instrument is the in-depth interview, which according to
Robles (2011), has the intention of "entering into the life of the other, penetrating and
detailing the transcendent, deciphering and understanding the tastes, fears,
satisfactions, anxieties and joys, significant and relevant of the interviewee; it consists
of building step by step, thoroughly the experience of the other" (p.40).
This type of interview is the one that has aroused the greatest interest, since it is
associated with the expectation that the interviewees are more likely to express their
points of view in a relatively open manner than in a standardized interview or
questionnaire. Through these we sought to characterize the population under study
and their perspectives regarding the nodal categories of this research: learning models,
sociological factors, vocational development, social innovation, youth and society.
In order to identify the main factors that influence virtual educational desertion and
how active methodologies influence the permanence of SENA apprentices belonging
to the Tecnoacademia Oriente-Antioqueño program, an interview was conducted with
25 students of the biotechnology and electronics and robotics training line, of which
13 were men and 12 were women, between 14 and 16 years old, in 9th, 10th and 11th
grades, with socioeconomic strata 1, 2 and 3 between the urban and rural sector.
Results
It was found that the student population in the initial phase has an initial vision of the
educational process that is identified with a negative social imaginary, where
education does not have a vocational purpose, nor a long-term purpose, nor personal
development.
On the other hand, the student population that participated in the interview considers
that it is necessary to continue changing the educational model and that it should be
aimed at allowing students to take advantage of their creative and imaginative

potential from different courses and areas of knowledge (not only those of the SENA
Technoacademy). In addition, young people insist that they are often not listened to
and that their ideas or proposals to solve problems in the community are not taken
into account by adults, which generates feelings of insecurity, helplessness and
distrust in them, so for them it is necessary that there are communication and trust
networks.
Students insist that this type of learning strategies should continue to be used in
schools, since they are a way in which they are the protagonists of the process, and
they feel useful when generating initiatives that can have an impact on their territory.
They also believe that generating these pilots with the welfare of the people with whom
they live in the school, neighborhood and municipality in mind, makes their bonds and
love for the territory grow. The successful pilots were: prosthesis for upper limb,
natural sweetener without sugar, sign language translator with neural network
interface. These pilots are part of the SDG goals such as: reduction of inequalities,
health and well-being, industry, innovation and infrastructure.
In relation to connectivity, in order to verify if this factor effectively causes desertion,
it was found that not all of them have an electronic device to receive their classes and
that 36% share it with a family member and 16% with two members. Likewise, it is
evident that although statistics show that 6.24% have access to the Internet, 3.12%
have access to the Internet from a public network to receive their virtual classes, which
makes the trainees disperse in their academic work and makes it difficult to attract
their attention.
Similarly, we sought to recognize the motivations and interests that can influence the
training exercise of the Tecnoacademia program trainees, with the question "Do you
think that the contributions in class are valued? 48% stated that they were valued,
while 24% indicated that they were valued almost always and 20% sometimes.
Likewise, 68% said that they were not bored in class and that the virtual contents of
the Tecnoacademia program were of interest to them.
It was also demonstrated that 85% of the students are committed to their virtual
classes and would not drop out of their academic training, because the topics taught
promote their academic and personal development, with 80% of the students
represented.
The questions also focused on active methodologies, asking: Do you consider that
using games in the classroom is essential for the learning process? 80% of the
respondents answered affirmatively, and it was also evident that they consider

experimentation and academic participation to be important, and 100% stated that the
knowledge acquired in the classroom should be applied to real problems in their
environment.
The facilitators were a relevant factor, since it was evidenced that they promote
participation, socialization and feedback in the class, for which the trainees responded
100% positively, 88% indicated that the facilitators provide feedback on their work,
indicating that 12% feel that this aspect needs to be strengthened.
Regarding the development of pedagogical training, 100% of the students responded
that learning was effective in virtual and distance learning, and 52% of them dedicated
an average of 1 to 2 hours to their virtual training, while 48% dedicated 2 to 4 hours.
Likewise, 100% indicated that they prefer face-to-face education to virtual education.
When asked about support from their family environment, 88% of Tecnoacademia
trainees have the support of their parents and feel confident in sharing their
knowledge.
In relation to the percentages, it was evidenced that the main factor of academic
desertion is due to the fact that most of the students do not have the resources to
acquire the necessary tools to develop their studies, which generates a lack of
motivation due to all the external factors and circumstances they are going through
and that have nothing to do with the didactics of the classes or with the contents.
This is why active methodologies are catapulted as the most appropriate response
within the learning approaches, since techniques such as the "flipped classroom" allow
closing gaps in educational access in digital matters, taking into account that this
technique is leveraged in the asynchronous and autonomous learning, of course the
problem of digital tools and connectivity remains latent, but pedagogy directly
influences not only to support the student in the academic processes, but in turn keeps
it active and participatory with an inclusive approach.
As mentioned by Barkley, Major and Cross (2014), active methodologies allow
students to develop projects according to their vocations and capabilities, which is why
active methodologies have a direct impact on motivation in the classroom, thus
establishing a direct correlation in terms of academic permanence and the impact of
sociological factors derived from day-to-day life.
However, most teachers are unaware of these techniques or methods, remaining stuck
in anachronistic forms of teaching, which evidently leads us to point out the lack of
educational public policies, in relation to the generation of programs that allow for
teacher updating and national guidelines that seek to generate standardized processes

within educational institutions, providing meaningful and lasting learning over time
from the self-motivation of the individual, which in turn mitigates academic dropout
rates and contributes to the development of the country.
Conclusions
Virtual education in Colombia has become a great challenge for educational
institutions, the lack of technological equipment, internet connectivity and the rural
and urban sector have affected the way in which students receive their classes.
One of the challenges faced by virtual education is the incidence of sociological factors
for student continuity and permanence, being economic resources and family and
social group influence the major cause of desertion. Therefore, it is essential that
virtual learning environments provide dynamic and attractive follow-up and
motivation mechanisms that contribute to solve the problems faced by students in a
clear, optimal, precise and timely manner, favoring complete educational trajectories.
As previously indicated, low economic resources is one of the main sociological factors
that affect virtual education dropout, because families cannot easily acquire
technological tools such as digital equipment, access and maintenance of connection
networks in rural areas of Antioquia; to this is added the lack of pedagogical
adaptability by instructors in virtual environments, digital literacy on the part of
learners, the lack of interactive spaces and feedback within the classroom, the
alteration of communication links with peers.
Therefore, it is denoted that within the educational action research the role of the
teacher implies a strategy of transformation of the pedagogical practice, in which
he/she must incorporate some subjects and themes through problems, cases or
projects, for this he/she must be a facilitator and be responsible for organizing learning
situations, The resolution of which requires the reflection of concepts and involves
educational innovations, which introduce transformations in schools that promote
improvement mechanisms, likewise all of the above is articulated to the processes of
digital literacy, which allows students to learn by themselves other mechanisms and
learning models.
The educational desertion described as abandonment of the school system by students
is caused by the different contexts in which the child or adolescent interacts, such as
the social, family and school, due to the influence, lack of follow-up and
accompaniment, evidenced in a serious problem that restricts the possibility of having

a social development and personal progress, contributing to the perpetuity of the cycle
of poverty, since education is fundamental for the development of a country.
It is the duty of the National Government and educational institutions to create
integral spaces when educating children and young people, where they are allowed to
be a central part of education, with the help of an interdisciplinary team of teachers
who ensure a quality education.
Through its Tecnoacademy program, SENA generates a scenario focused on the
learning of children and young people in elementary and middle school, which seeks
to enhance the capabilities focused on science and technology, through spaces in which
the student is the protagonist of their education.
Vocation with purpose is a long term process, where the educational model must be
the backbone, on which students can lean, to explore their abilities, passions and
tastes; but also their fears, insecurities and afflictions. In addition, this process must
be crossed by a learning model where students can communicate, participate and feel
in an environment of trust where they can question knowledge and their ways of
learning. But, also to have a support network that motivates their creativity,
imaginative and inventive capacity.
On the other hand, social cohesion and territorial rootedness are crucial for education
to contribute to positively transform society, since young people need to create ties
and ownership in the place where they live, study, grow and develop; to feel
responsible for its direction, organization and progress. So that, hand in hand with
knowledge and technology, they can generate innovative and sustainable ventures that
energize the local economy and close the gaps of inequality and exclusion.
This research contributes to education, since educational action research is a parallel
of participatory action research which, oriented towards educational action, leads to
the search for solutions in this sector.
The active methodologies in the permanence of SENA apprentices are based on a
constructive development process that allows the student to move from memoristic
and traditional learning to an interactive one, where he is the protagonist of his
learning, working autonomously in the different classes, but in constant
communication with the teacher, generating critical, analytical, creative and
argumentative thinking, among other skills.
It is also important to emphasize that the operation of the PAR is based on the
participation of the actors, which is the fundamental element of this research, these
are not subjects of the research, but are an active part of it, seeking that all actors

participate both in the process of partition and identification, which is why the
application of the information collection instrument was developed with the main
actors of this problem, so that in this way through the resignification of their voices,
solutions to student desertion can be found.
