Abstract

The main objective of the present investigation was to identify and evaluate the methods and techniques currently used by teachers in the teaching of basic sciences in the systems of presencial and distance systems. The study took place in the first semester of the year 2016-2, the population under study was made up of 20 professors, 10 for the presential study program and 10 for distance study. These were subjected to direct observations and surveys were applied to both students and teachers and administrative staff.
