Las enseñanzas híbridas (blended learning) ante el aislamiento del estudiantado: lecciones de la literatura.
Resumen
La educación a distancia puede provocar sentimientos de aislamiento, desconexión y despersonalización por parte del estudiante. Este fenómeno se ha empezado a estudiar especialmente en la enseñanza en línea, y en mucha menor medida en las enseñanzas híbridas (“blended learning”). La pandemia ha exacerbado dicha sensación de aislamiento, por lo que resulta, por tanto, oportuno estudiar si los estudios sobre enseñanzas híbridas están abordando el aislamiento del estudiante, y cuáles son las lecciones que nos trasladan las investigaciones previas. Realizando una revisión de la literatura y un análisis de clúster, se observa que el aislamiento fruto de la pandemia enmascara de algún modo la sensación que puede provocar la metodología híbrida. El aislamiento sigue atribuyéndose a la parte en línea y especialmente a su parte asíncrona, pero poco dice la literatura sobre la enseñanza híbrida en su conjunto. Faltan estudios que valoren de forma comprensiva este fenómeno, y queda mucha investigación pendiente respecto al diseño adecuado de estos cursos para que aborden el aislamiento de forma holística. Este estudio hace, a sí mismo, algunas recomendaciones y sugerencias para seguir trabajando en aminorar el aislamiento que puede sentir el estudiante en las enseñanzas mixtas y a distancia en general.
