Abstract

: In times of cyber learning spaces, education systems need pedagogical models that enable
students to engage, develop skills, and feel capable to transfer them to other contexts. Based on the
Design Based Research methodology of qualitative analysis of student’s perceptions, we analyzed whether
the Virtual Learning Environments discipline promoted the development of transferable skills. The
findings regarding the class were primarily positive, such as it: 1) promoted debates involving educational
issues related to social, political or philosophical aspects; 2) enabled coexistence in a community with
different experiences and points of view; 3) created alternatives to improve pedagogical and formative
practices; 4) provided solutions to complex problems; and 5) promoted meaningful engagement. The
implications of the results are discussed, both from the point of view of practical intervention and in
terms of future research.
