Resumen

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the education sector worldwide was affected. To minimize the problem, they put in place strategies to get virtual classrooms off to an optimal start. Also, teachers had to be trained, to be up to date with the context. Training must be asynchronous. In this sense, the objective of the research was to set up a model of teacher training through virtual courses. These courses consist of the teaching and learning strategy, teaching resources and materials, learning assessment system, curriculum planning and teacher induction. Virtual course prototypes have been completed for future implementation. The proposed model will provide those involved with a tool that optimizes the teaching and learning process. The methodology used in this research consisted, first, in analyzing the current situation and the proposal to be considered, and then in validating the model with experts in educational pedagogy and others in technological education. Likewise, a 10-question instrument was developed for expert validation of the proposed model, which resulted in an acceptance rate of 85.5%.
