B-learning at universities in Andalusia (Spain): from traditional to student-centred learning
2012
In this paper, the authors examine the rates at which blended learning (b-learning) has been adopted at
universities in the region of Andalusia (Spain), as well as the educational model applied to its usage. The
authors explore the influence of teachers’ perceptions of their competence in the use they make of digital
material and to measure institutional support for teachers in this area. The methodology consists of an ad
hoc questionnaire designed for a representative sample from four universities and the application of Multiple
Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show that the use
of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in universities in Andalusia is common but there is little sign of
educational innovation, except in a minority of teachers. In addition, it was found that teachers’perceptions
of their technological competence influenced their use of LMS but not the pedagogical model. The university
pedagogical model must be reconceptualised, with a shift in traditional university values toward innovation,
cooperation, and a shared construction of knowledge.
