RIVADENEIRA-GARCIA, Alejandro. Moodle virtual classroom to motivate physical education learning at the Universidad Regional Amazónica Ikiam. RCUISRAEL [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.2, pp.39-52.  Epub Aug 10, 2022. ISSN 2631-2786.  https://doi.org/10.35290/rcui.v9n2.2022.506.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a transition from a face-to-face education model to a purely virtual one, for which the implementation of virtual classrooms became essential. This was a challenge in the subject of physical education, since it was developed exclusively in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, the objective of this research was to implement and evaluate a virtual classroom in Moodle, using a series of ICT tools to promote learning in the aforementioned subject. The methodology used consisted in the design of a virtual classroom based on the pedagogical model of constructivism and supported by the methodological strategy of ERCA (Experience, Reflection, Construction and Application), supported by digital tools and a subsequent evaluation through a student survey. As part of the results, it was determined that 68.6% have a laptop or computer and 85.7% have Internet at home. In turn, it was determined that 85.2% considered that the virtual classroom used and all its components contributed significantly to the learning of physical education, reducing sedentary lifestyles and inserting physical activities in their daily routine.
