The postponement of face-to-face classes due to COVID-19 during 2020-2021, triggered urgent changes in the teaching-learning processes in the university context. Likewise, the return of university life to face-to-face attendance demanded and still demands changes in the pedagogical and didactic processes that contribute to the adaptation of those students who attend on-campus classes for the first time. Considering the above, this study seeks to unveil and analyze the perceptions of undergraduate students about the effect of remote education on the learning of physics during the pandemic and their academic performance at the beginning of the post-pandemic period. This study includes 139 third-semester students of Engineering and Geology attending a private University in Colombia, in a heat-wave physics course developed during the first academic semester of 2022. The implementation of a generalized linear model (GLM) revealed that the perception of comprehension is higher among students coming from private schools. Similarly, students who completed high school in person during the pandemic perceive that they understood the concepts studied in physics and have a better valuation of their understanding of the heat-wave physics subject. On the other hand, students who prefer virtual remote classes negatively value their understanding of heat-wave physics concepts.
El aplazamiento de las clases presenciales en el sistema educativo, por causa de la COVID-19 durante el 2020 y 2021, fomentó cambios urgentes en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el contexto universitario. Igualmente, el retorno de la vida universitaria a la presencialidad exigió y exige aún, una adecuación en los procesos pedagógicos y didácticos que permita la adaptación de aquellos estudiantes que por primera vez asisten al campus universitario. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, en este estudio se busca conocer y analizar la percepción de 139 estudiantes universitarios de Ingeniería y Geología de tercer semestre de una universidad privada de Colombia, en un curso de física calor-ondas en el primer semestre académico del 2022, acerca del efecto de la educación remota en su aprendizaje de la física en tiempo de pandemia y en su desempeño académico al inicio de postpandemia en la universidad a través de un modelo lineal generalizado (MLG). Los resultados muestran que la percepción sobre la comprensión es mayor entre los estudiantes que provienen de colegios privados. Asimismo, los estudiantes que realizaron su bachillerato en forma presencial durante la pandemia perciben haber comprendido los conceptos estudiados en física y tienen una mejor valoración de su comprensión en la asignatura física calor-ondas. Por otro lado, los estudiantes que prefieren las clases remotas virtuales valoran negativamente su comprensión de los conceptos de física calor-ondas.
