The objective of this publication is to present the state of the art of the pedagogical and didactic foundations used in the diversified teaching program offered by the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University of Panama in its virtual modality for teacher training. These professionals come from different areas of specialization at a degree level. To obtain the required information, a survey type instrument was used following the Likert scale and a panel of experts with the purpose of obtaining collective and consensual judgments for the validation of the information.

The application of both procedures, to teachers/ tutors, students and experts came to generate some concerns about the need to review and self-assess themselves on how these fundamentals have been worked on and the possibility of improving their teaching practice in the virtual modality.

Among the relevant findings, the greatest success is directly linked to the significance of the pedagogical and didactic role that the teacher / tutor should play as a fundamental element in the creation and recreation of knowledge.

The study offers, in addition to the findings, some contributions built from research and experience by the authors in more than eight (8) years of experience in virtual learning environments.
