Resumen

The present research aimed to describe the satisfaction of university students with virtual classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study corresponds to a quantitative approach, a non-experimental design and a comparative descriptive type. The sample was made up of 445 students from two Peruvian universities (public and private) to whom the Satisfaction Scale with Virtual Classes was applied, an instrument with adequate levels of reliability and validity. The results indicate that 51.9% of the students were partially satisfied with the virtual classes, 42% were satisfied and 6.1% were dissatisfied with this teaching modality. Among the positive aspects of the virtual classes are the evaluation system, the level of difficulty of the academic activities, the variety of additional resources used by the teachers and the organization of the courses. Likewise, it was found that there was a more favorable perception of virtual classes in students of a private university than in a public university. It was concluded that it is necessary to develop the didactic and technological competences of teachers so that they can optimize their pedagogical practice and thus improve the perception that students have towards virtual classes.
