Meet Jacqueline García Botero, the author of FL Pre-Service Teachers' Psychosocial Aspects and Educational Conditions During the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021-10-15

This research aimed to identify the psychosocial aspects and educational conditions that influenced the degree of learning satisfaction of 423 students enrolled in a BA in Modern Languages (English and French) at a university in Colombia through technology-mediated ‘face-to-face’ learning (PAT, as per its Spanish acronym). Findings show that students’ learning satisfaction is highly influenced by teacher’s support and structural conditions. These two categories have an impact on other psychosocial conditions that become a challenge for the pat technology. See the author telling us about her article here:
