| Sumario: | The study analize students' perceptions about the change in educational modality, from in-person to virtual, in the context of post-COVID-19 transition. Despite the influence of various variables on the preference for a modality, at least two elements emerge as favorable for online education: a conducive environment and proactivity in self-regulation. The research, of a descriptive, transversal and quantitative nature, was carried out with first-year students at an Argentine university. In order to characterize the perceptions about online education, factor analysis was used to explain the responses obtained, the related variables were grouped into five dimensions: context, adjustment to virtuality, appropriation of technologies, performance and virtual flexibility. Likewise, the hypothesis tests indicate significant relationships between the preference for the remote modality and the dimensions of adjustment to virtuality, performance and virtual flexibility, while no significant relationships are observed with the context or the appropriation of technologies. In accordance with the results, evidence is provided and suggestions are presented to address the challenges faced by higher education institutions in a dynamic context such as the current one. |
