Percepción por parte de los estudiantes universitarios del papel que juegan los incentivos educativos como fomento hacia el compromiso académico en la formación profesional

   Introducción. Los incentivos digitales son una de las estrategias que elaboran las instituciones de educación superior en la formación universitaria en la esfera de la formación profesional, pero las universidades no los resaltan de otras estrategias que son utilizadas. Es importante investigar el papel y el impacto de los incentivos digitales educativos para lograr el compromiso académico entre los estudiantes de formación profesional en las universidades jordanas a la luz de la COVID-19.
   Metodología, métodos y procesos de investigación. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el método de encuesta descriptivo. A fin de lograr los objetivos del estudio, se elaboró un cuestionario de recolección de datos, compuesto por 29 ítems, divididos en tres áreas: dinámica (11 ítems), mecánica (7 ítems) y componentes (11 ítems). La muestra del estudio estuvo conformada por 260 estudiantes entre hombres y mujeres de las universidades jordanas.

   Resultado. Los resultados mostraron que el papel de los incentivos digitales educativos en el logro del compromiso académico fue alto, sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas en relación a la variable del tipo sexo de los encuestados, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas respecto las variables “año académico” y “tipo de universidad”.

   Significado práctico. Se dan recomendaciones para crear un entorno de aprendizaje atractivo, interactivo y relevante para los estudiantes utilizando estrategias profundas de procesamiento de información, resolución de problemas, creatividad y pensamiento crítico con el propósito de involucrar a los estudiantes en el proceso de aprendizaje.
