Resumen:
Sumario:This article aims to analyze the perceptions and transversal competencies that university students associate with in-person, blended, and online learning, both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology applied consisted of a personal survey conducted in early 2019 and later in 2023. The main findings indicate that in-person learning is perceived as highly interactive and useful for the development of transversal competencies related to group or social skills. On the other hand, online learning is associated with benefits such as flexibility in study hours, greater autonomy, and a personalized study pace, although it entails a sense of isolation. Additionally, online learning is attributed to individual transversal competencies such as autonomous work and the acquisition of computer skills. As for blended learning, in terms of perception and its usefulness for developing transversal competencies, no particular aspect stands out. It is noteworthy that these results have remained consistent, both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
