STUDENTS BEHAVIOR VERSUS e-LEARNING ACTIVITIES

The European Higher Education Area established several years ago a new learning methodology that take in account Information and Communication Technology. Improve the learning process is a principal concerns in education. The use of electronic media in learning processes has a strong impact on student achievement. Concerning materials with some degree of difficulty it is possible to propose activities for students in order to gain a better understanding of the subject. Physical-Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry are subjects studied in the second course of the Pharmacy Degree in Spain. Students find strong difficulties on assimilating these topics and some of them give up their study. Therefore, students must register several consecutive times in the same subject, on their first, second, etc.., registration, until achieve appropriate competences and pass the corresponding exams. We studied the influence of electronic on line methodology on teaching and learning processes. We make an assessment on the influence in the success of these tutoring students when these methods are used. Our results show that new students, firstly registered, are those who show better attitude and mostly participate in the proposed activities. They positively interact with other colleagues, thus maximizing interpersonal relations involved, student/teacher, student/student and student/content. This group obtains best marks, thus indicating biggest success in learning.
