COVID-19 Pandemia y posibles futuros del aprendizaje en línea de adultos en la educación superior: Seis tendencias que podrían marcar el futuro
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los efectos considerables en la educación de los adultos (Boeren, Roumell & Roessger, 2020; Kapplinger & Lichte, 2020) y en las prácticas de enseñanza y aprendizaje en línea de la pandemia COVID-19 son inevitables. La importancia del fenómeno es histórica y ha supuesto seguramente la transformación más importante y más rápida vista hasta ahora de las prácticas pedagógicas en las universidades contemporáneas (Brammer & Clark, 2020). Aunque es demasiado pronto para considerar todos sus efectos, una de las primeras etapas hacia una mejor comprensión del fenómeno consiste en recoger, analizar y poner en perspectiva las macrotendencias que parecen dibujarse en el horizonte. Así pues, basándose en la literatura científica y profesional publicada desde marzo de 2020, el objetivo de este artículo es triple: (i) en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19, identificar, analizar y poner en perspectiva las tendencias emergentes que podrían moldear el futuro de la educación de los adultos en educación superior, (ii) analizar algunas de dichas tendencias durante un período más allá de la pandemia, y (iii) realizar una mirada prospectiva hacia el futuro.
