Resumen

The objective of this research was to determine the influence of the elaboration and use of the Podcast in the strengthening of autonomous learning, in its dimensions of self-regulation, informational competences and collaborative work, of university students. The research was of quasi-experimental design and explanatory level, the sample comprised 293 students from five Peruvian universities. They were given a pretest-posttest and an intervention was carried out between them, which consisted of the development of a Podcast on a topic of a subject of their professional career, which exercised volitional control, time management, motivation, creativity, practice of empathy, synergy, cooperation in the classroom, among others. The application of the Wilcoxon statistic allowed us to affirm that there are significant differences between the pretest and posttest. These results show that the use of the Podcast virtual resource significantly influenced the strengthening of students’ autonomous learning.
