Resumo

En la educación superior, las clases en línea abren nuevas posibilidades de acceso y continuidad académica, pero también presentan numerosos desafíos que afectan la participación de muchos estudiantes. Comprender las razones de su ausencia en estos entornos es fundamental para identificar barreras, desigualdades y necesidades persistentes. Esta investigación descriptiva busca distinguir las razones personales y técnicas del absentismo estudiantil en clases de informática impartidas en línea. El estudio se realizó con una muestra no probabilística e intencional, compuesta principalmente por estudiantes de comunidades rurales o áreas fuera de las zonas urbanas. Los hallazgos demuestran que el absentismo estudiantil en entornos en línea está relacionado con factores personales, económicos, pedagógicos y tecnológicos, incluyendo la necesidad de trabajar, la carga de trabajo excesiva, la falta de comprensión del contenido, el estrés derivado del uso prolongado de la computadora, la mala conexión a internet, la falta de equipo informático y el costo de los datos móviles. Los resultados muestran que la participación y la retención en clases virtuales no dependen únicamente de la voluntad del estudiante, sino también de condiciones estructurales que influyen directamente en su trayectoria académica.
