Is the Spanish educational system ready for blended learning? Analysing pre-service primary education teachers' perceptions

Published: 30 December 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Blended learning (BL) has taken a predominant role in the educational realm after the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to significant adjustments in the educational system, being teachers the main enforcers of these changes. Taking into account the role future teachers have on this, the aim of this paper is to analyse pre-service Primary school teachers' perceptions of the challenges of implementing BL in the Spanish educational system using a mixed-method approach. Participants report a positive implementation of this approach in the system, but they mention lack of learner support in terms of interaction and feedback, as well as lack of self-autonomy by primary education students. Technological literacy and a possible digital breach are also considered in the implementation of BL. Furthermore, they emphasise the responsibility of the teacher in the selection and adaptation of the approach, their role as a social agent, and the need for technological training.
