CONTRERAS-COLMENARES, Adrián Filiberto  y  GARCES-DIAZ, Luz Myla. Environments of virtual learning: difficulties of use faced by students of fourth grade. Prospectiva [online]. 2019, n.27, pp.215-240. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i27.7273..

Virtual Learning Environments are understood as spaces or environments which favor learning with the support of technology, and through which interaction between the learner and the teacher is generated. Fourth grade students generally face difficulties in such learning environments, and the impediments that impact learning have been a matter of constant study, because they represent a stumbling block in the formative process of the human being. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze the difficulties encountered by students in the fourth grade of primary school to learn within, with and from virtuality. The state-of-the-art shows that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been transforming education, since, as a didactic resource, they propose new scenarios, which require a profound revision of the educational context. A mixed approach was used in the analysis of the information and was based on a descriptive study.

The following conclusion, among others, was reached: It is important to transform the educational practice by incorporating ICT in the educational context, as the foundation of the Virtual Learning Environment (AVA).
