Abstract

The  present  research  work  has  as  a  general  objective  to  propose  management  training  for  the  management  of  Virtual  Learning Environments (EVA), aimed at teachers of the Department of Education, Humanities and Arts of the National Experimental University of Guayana (UNEG). This  research  is  carried  out  under  the  quantitative  approach,  with a non-experimental, field, descriptive design, under the modality of a feasible project, in which ninety (90) teachers are affiliated with the General  Undergraduate  Coordination,  Department  of  Education. Education,  Humanities  and  Arts  of  said  university,  surveyed  by  means of a questionnaire-type  instrument,  where  the  Likert  scale  was  used, which was validated with expert judgment, applying the reliability level based on the cronbach’s alpha whose results were analyzed by the SPSS system. The results obtained were that teachers know the use of EVA, but feel unmotivated to use them and although they plan academic activities of their courses in the EVA in each semester, they scarcely manage them. It  was  also  obtained  that  the  training  received  from  UNEGVIRTUAL is  only  technical,  but  not  instructional  and  managerial,  therefore  the proposal of the training plan is endorsed, which the teachers approve and express their willingness to participate in it
