Resumen

The intention of the research was to evaluate how English students using a virtual learning network perceive the connectivist pedagogical model. In this sense, descriptive research employing the hypothetical-inductive methodology was conducted. For data collection, a Likert-scale based survey measuring connectivism perception was utilized. The majority of the statements were seen positively by the respondents, according to the findings. On the basis of the results, it is claimed that connectivism can increase English acquisition because of its positive perception, particularly in the way teachers and students behave in the model, where the agree scale averages were 55.94% and 52.24%, respectively. Furthermore, it is required to suggest steps for the implementation of innovative technologies by instructors during the lessons, the accurate equipping of establishments, the formation of educators, and the cultivation of study strategies via learning networks.
