Blended learning methodologies: a view on face-to-face and online teaching

Abstract

Modern times have demanded an inevitable transformation for education, which has led to reforms in teaching processes and methodologies. This paper presents an experimental analysis of educational methods and their effectiveness in university classes. To this end, two groups have been developed, one control and the other experimental. Classic teaching strategies and methods have been maintained in the former, while online and mixed tools have been incorporated in the latter. The main results show that meaningful learning can be optimal when resources and strategies are varied, reaching a mixed teaching-learning methodology.
