1 THE STUDENT S PERSPECTIVE: TEACHING USAGES OF MOODLE AT UNIVERSITY José Sánchez-Santamaría, Francisco Javier Ramos, Pablo Sánchez-Antolín University of Castilla-La Mancha (SPAIN) Abstract The vast majority of Spanish universities have integrated Moodle as a Learning Management System (LMS). This is because, in comparison with other LMS, Moodle is a feasible and more effective means for didactic usage. But there are still few studies on the pedagogical impact of Moodle in teaching. Thus, there are a lot of questions to be answered, for instance: What do students know about the tools provided by Moodle? How are these tools used in their training? Are they satisfied with the use of these tools? Which are the needs of teachers? Is the usage of Moodle related with the improvement of teaching? What is the impact of Moodle in the development of professional competencies? The aim of this paper is to understand, analyze and compare the student s perceptions on the didactic usages of Moodle at university teaching. To this end, this study takes a survey design, with the intentional nonrandom sample of 178 students from Primary Education degree and Social Education degree of Cuenca Campus in the University of Castilla-La Mancha. For collecting information, an ad hoc questionnaire, consisting of 5 dimensions and 118 variables, has been used. Data reveal the relevance of Moodle in university teaching: the role that it plays to visualize the teaching outline and to exchange information. To sum up, students show a high degree of satisfaction, but identify some limitations related to teacher training and technical issues. Keywords: Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), Learning Management Systems (LMS), Moodle, university teaching, students' perspective. 1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, Spanish universities have greatly increased the introduction of technology in the classroom, increasing their equipment, infrastructure, software available, etc. The aim of this policy is to approach the new educational paradigm posed by the European Higher Education Area, inspired by the demands of the knowledge society. Therefore, this paper shows the main results of a study on the use and impact of Moodle in university teaching. The Learning Management System (LMS) is a type of open source software, i.e., Moodle. It has been designed based on the ideas of constructivist pedagogy (knowledge is constructed in the mind of the student, rather than simply be transmitted) and allows collaborative learning. From the standpoint of educational psychology, Moodle is configured around what is called "social constructionist pedagogy" (Silva, 2011) [1], i.e., combining aspects of constructivism (knowledge is generated through mediation and interaction with the environment) and constructionism (learning by doing). In the UCLM, there are a few studies that have focused on the impact of virtual teaching (Mondejar, Mondejar and Vargas, 2006) [2] as well as those related to the introduction of Moodle in university teaching (Fernández Muñoz, 2007 [3] 2009 [4], Sanchez-Santamaría and Morales, 2012 [5]). The studies or research on the student s perception about the role of these tools in their learning process are even less representative. 2 AIM, SAMPLING AND RESEARCH METHOD The aim of this study is to analyze the perceptions of the students on the uses of Moodle in university teaching. In particular, in the development of professional skills in profiles associated with Primary Education and Social Education. The specific objectives are three: a) describe the student s digital competencies, b) analyze the student s perceptions on the knowledge and satisfaction with the educational usages of Moodle, and c) compare the student s perception. The sample design responds to a non-probability sampling of type of incidental (Salkind, 1999) [6], with a total of 178 students of Primary and Social Education of Cuenca Campus at the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

Secondary 1 (0.6%) The method used is a descriptive-comparative approach with a dimensional questionnaire (Bisquerra, 2004) [7]. For the data collection has been used an ad hoc questionnaire entitled: Questionnaire on Teacher Uses of Moodle in University Teaching (QTUMUT_v01). It has been validated by 5 judges and a pilot experience. It has been composed of five analysis dimensions with 118 variables with a Cronbach's Alpha.952, as recommended by Muñiz (1998) [8]. Moreover, the scale of the dimension II is an adaptation of the Bullón et al (2008) [9]. Data collection took place during the second semester of the academic year For the analysis of the questionnaire was used SPSS version 19 (IBM, 2010) licensed UCLM. From the point of view of the sample design and methodology, this study has four limitations that should be considered for proper interpretation of the data presented, namely: a) Non-random sample selection; b) Responses cannot be grouped or differentiated according to the subjects and / or subjects studied; c) Ecological validity, derived from the method of study undertaken; d) The inter-intra group analysis was performed only in a general way, not having analyzed in detail the variance. 2969

However, it is noteworthy that more than 25.0% of second course students marked a "started" or "without knowledge" level, as they must have some experience in using Moodle after its extensive use in first year.

TEACHING STRATEGIES M TOTAL SX LECTURES WORKSHOPS I WORKSHOPS II GROUP WORK SEMINARS INDIVIDUAL WORK Overall rating of Moodle at University Between the main advantages listed by students of Moodle and / or derived from their use, can be included: monitoring classes; access and availability of material; communication with the teacher, which facilitates student work regarding shipments; the organization of the materials, which fosters communication and discussion among peers, etc. 2971
5 And, regarding the disadvantages or areas for improvement of Moodle and / or arising from its use, students identify the following: lack of teacher training, technical problems, confusions between virtual and face-to-face tuition, student training, the low use of some teachers, the need for internet access, updates, etc. Students understand that the main use made of Moodle in the subjects they have studied is only to convey information and / or content (M = 4.17, Sx =, 808). Moodle has much less weight in promoting competence acquisition processes (M = 3.26, Sx =, 915). And, almost residual function development and creation of new knowledge in interaction between students and teachers (M = 2.33, Sx = 1.092). 4 CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION This paper tried to discover, analyze and compare the perceptions of students in the second year of the degree in Primary Education and Social Education at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Cuenca Campus (Spain). This work is aligned with those who now seek to understand and explain what are the uses and impact conceptions of learning management systems in university teaching, specifically the virtual platform Moodle. The evidence derived from this descriptive-comparative work is useful to the improvement and skills development of the students and teachers. Above all, the importance of being able to harness the full potential that Moodle offers us. However, we have to be aware of its pedagogical limitations. That evidence encourages us to further explore the organizational, methodological and assessment implications of Moodle in university teaching, and to seek to promote a more active role of the student in collaboration with other virtual learning environments as the personal learning environments. This study has thrown some light on five questions about educational uses of Moodle from the perspective of students, namely: a) The knowledge and digital skills are useful to know how Moodle works, as they act as a predisposing factor. This should be covered by training processes to help students learn how to use Moodle; b) One of the problems identified regarding the use by teachers of Moodle is its competence related to their lack of training; c) Current educational uses, not only wasted the potential of Moodle, but also make it a very limited tool for skills development and the creation of new knowledge and forms of social interaction in the context of university learning. Moodle isn t promoted as a space for collaboration and coordination between teachers and students. However, their use has allowed improvements in the times and modes of interaction, as well as facilitated formative assessment processes. d) The overall assessment is very positive about Moodle, as it is a tool that allows us to work from a constructivist approach widely used in university contexts. e) There are no significant differences between the opinions about the usefulness, satisfaction and teaching uses between the two degrees studied. This should be interpreted with some caution, as it may be due to two factors: first, to look at the issue from the course and not from the subject, we can to be generalizing, and, second, it may highlight the similarities in the methods and strategies of teaching between both degrees.
