Abstract

There are different factors that directly influence student satisfaction and their perceived learning, in times of pandemic, educational models in their implementation and practice have been reoriented to an eminently online education. In the present investigation, arising from a collaboration between higher education teachers, it was detected that such factors as the use of ICT, productivity and creativity in learning, openness to novelty and especially technological stress, would reasonably influence in the endogenous variables of the proposed model. Under a non-experimental research design, an electronic questionnaire (n=25; α=.952; ω=.953) is applied to a sample of 300 university students (Arequipa, Peru). The results, in agreement with previous studies, show that factors such as the use of ICT, student satisfaction, exert a positive influence on perceived learning, unlike productivity, creativity in learning and technological stress would not exert favorably on perceived learning. Regarding student satisfaction, factors such as openness to the novelty of ICT, creativity, and the use of ICT, would exert a positive influence on satisfaction, unlike productivity in learning. In conclusion, the idea of inquiry and search about the key influencing factors in dependent variables for educational development in times of Covid-19, such as perceived learning and student satisfaction in university education, is highlighted.
