La presente investigación analiza las percepciones de los
estudiantes de Psicología de la Fundación Universitaria del Área
Andina en modalidad virtual frente a un curso de alfabetización
digital basado en ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje (AVA). El
proceder metodológico se fundamenta en un enfoque cuantitativo
descriptivo de tipo transversal. La muestra es de 131 estudiantes
entre los 16 y los 54 años pertenecientes a los estratos
socioeconómicos del 1 al 4. Para la recolección de la información
se diseñó y validó un cuestionario que mide la percepción del
aprendizaje de contenidos digitales. Los resultados muestran que el
nivel de escolaridad previo al inicio del curso es una variable que
puede afectar las percepciones de los estudiantes frente a este.

Preface
This book is a translation of “Psychologie de la perception” published by the Presses de l’Université Laval and has the same name as a course offered at the School of Psychology of Laval University, Québec. It is not a coincidence; the book was written for students of this course. Over the years, whether at Laurentian University a few decades ago or at Laval University since 1996, I learned a lot from the questions and needs for clarifi cation voiced by the students. The book is partly a response to
the requested explanations regarding some of the main phenomena, techniques, and principles encountered in the fi eld of perception.

I would like to thank Anne-Marie Grondin who produced numerous illustrations contained in this book; Tsuyoshi Kuroda, expert in psychoacoustics, who provided many tips and some fi gures in the preparation of Chaps. 2 and 3; and Daniel Voyer of the University of New Brunswick for his fi ne revision of the content.

A group of higher education faculty members from different colleges and departments were participating in a 3-day professional development institute on writing for professional publication. The pressure to publish was on at their institution, newly categorized as a university. Prior to the mid-morning break on the fi rst day, the presenter asked the participants to write their concerns about publishing on Post-it notes and then read and categorized them before the group reconvened. The great majority of the participants were worried about their ability to fulfi ll the scalating
expectations for faculty. Only a few had published previously and they
ondered if they were capable of writing well enough to publish their work. As away to allay their fears, the presenter offered to assess a short writing sample from each participant that evening and return it the next day.

The Palgrave Philosophy Today will help all philosophers, established and aspiring, to understand, appreciate and engage with the intricacies which characterize all the many faces of philosophy. They are ideal teaching tools as textbooks for more advanced students. These books may not be meant primarily for those who have yet to read their first book of philosophy, but all students with a basic knowledge of philosophy will benefit greatly from reading these exciting and original works, which will enable anyone to engage with all the defining issues in contemporary philosophy. There are three main aspects that make the Palgrave Philosophy Today series distinctive and attractive. First, each book is relatively concise. Second, the books are commissioned from some of the best-known, established and upcoming international scholars in each area of philosophy. Third, while the primary purpose is to offer an informed assessment of opinion on a key area of philosophical study, each title presents a distinct interpretation from someone who is closely involved with current work in the field.
