Development of cognitive-linguistic skills in science through online education

In this paper, we analyze the cognitive-linguistic skills (description, explanation, justification and argument) of 5 students in a technological course, Management of Agribusiness Production Program at the Universidad Tecnologica de Bolivar, in collaboration with Edupol. The study is set at an online course with convergent media, where students analyze industrial processes related to industrial chemistry. The methodology is qualitative with case study; the results show that the cognitive-linguistic skills of students, synchronously and asynchronously, can be enhanced by developing content and social writing through a dialogic communication, and creating a learning environment based on the principles of constructivism in online education.
