THE FOCUS GROUP AS A TECHNIQUE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE USE OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING NETWORKS IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
This work describes the use of the focus group technique, to know the experiences and perceptions of postgraduate students as part of an investigation focused on the study of collaboration networks for learning in virtual environments. The objective was to know if it is possible to generate and manage knowledge through collaboration networks, as well as in what ways these contribute to the construction of learning and under what conditions they are developed. Through a content analysis, it was possible to identify and categorize the positive and negative implications related to cognitive, social, emotional and technological aspects that students experience, in addition to identifying some needs that are had to favor the conditions in learning networks and orienting teachers and educational programs in order to improve the conditions of collaborative networks for learning in virtual environments.

Abstract:
This work describes the use of the focus group technique, to know the experiences and perceptions of postgraduate students as part of an investigation focused on the study of collaboration networks for learning in virtual environments. The objective was to know if it is possible to generate and manage knowledge through collaboration networks, as well as in what ways these contribute to the construction of learning and under what conditions they are developed. Through a content analysis, it was possible to identify and categorize the positive and negative implications related to cognitive, social, emotional and technological aspects that students experience, in addition to identifying some needs that are had to favor the conditions in learning networks and orienting teachers and educational programs in order to improve the conditions of collaborative networks for learning in virtual environments.
