Abstract

The Peruvian university system has been facing new trends such as the de-elitization of higher education; dehomogenization; deautonomization; denationalization; depresentialization; internationalization; de-gratification; gestation of a new education; greater ecological awareness; and, virtual education; Therefore, the research aims
to identify the didactic strategies and learning assessment instruments that must
be applied in a virtual environment, to provide quality higher education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research has a qualitative approach with
a descriptive scope. The bibliography and legal norms related to the research topic have been reviewed; With reference to the Andean University of Cusco, the new educational paradigm of Comprehensive Competence is applied, which is based on the anthropological philosophical model of the transcendental paradigm that values the human person in all its dimensions, provides for professional, moral, spiritual and social training that stimulates the student to act in order to the good of society and nature. Didactic strategies can use: content sequencing, set of activities proposed to students, methodology associated with each one, and didactic resources. The learning evaluation instruments in a virtual environment must focus on the theory and practice of total quality, projecting themselves towards an authentic integral human development that evaluates knowledge, attitudes and values, abilities and skills, taking into consideration the personality of the student, abandoning the traditional evaluation, which is aimed at correcting, penalizing, sanctioning and qualifying.
