Abstract

Currently, b-learning is regarded as one of the most promising styles of teaching and learning. This is due to the flexibility of strategies and actions that can be implemented in the classroom and in a virtual environment. Under this assumption, the results are demonstrated by a qualitative study whose objective was to show the representations that university students built from their experience of studying certain majors within this field. The information is from the constant comparison technique and content analysis method applied to 18 in-depth interviews, aimed at students of a public university in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The results, interpreted from the Theory of Social Representations, show evidence that they produce views from their beliefs and perceptions, contact and interaction with the teacher, as well as from the skills they develop and what it implies to adapt with the method.
