Student Motivation and Satisfaction with Participation in Blended Learning

Dear Colleagues,

The transformations of society have led to changes in the teaching and learning processes, modifying the ways of acquiring new knowledge by citizens. Training with technologies and the acquisition of skills are gaining importance, helping to achieve new knowledge and generating more complete and enriched learning, which make up a more equitable and just society. As a result, the traditional roles of student receiving content, teacher transmitting knowledge, as well as educational methods are being challenged. Today's education needs to prepare for changing tasks, which allow them to face the challenges of tomorrow.

In order for all these resources to be used to their full extent, it is necessary to use blended learning, which allows taking into account the diversity of the classroom, which is dynamic, active and participatory.

In this changing context, it is essential to assess the degree of satisfaction in the use of the different teaching and learning strategies. In the same way, it is necessary to analyze the motivation of the students from the inclusion of diverse resources, taking into account the different scenarios in which teaching can be carried out.
