ABSTRACT

Introduction:

In March 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Madrid province, Spain, forced changes in the teaching and organisational methodologies of University educational centres in order to continue delivering knowledge contents that allowed students to acquire the competences and skills required by current regulations. Method(s) Different surveys were carried out on possible alternative teaching methodologies and strategies to be used by the teachers responsible for the different courses in the face of the pandemic situation. They explained to students how the teaching was going to proceed using different remote channels. Result(s) Different strategies such as the heuristic, discovery or playful method facilitated the teaching-learning process allowing students for the acquisition of useful knowledge, competences and skills for job placement. Innovative teaching methods were used, such as the inverted classroom or flipped classroom, cooperative learning, project-based learning or gamification, depending on the characteristics of the different disciplines. The results achieved so far have been, despite initial concerns and doubts, satisfactory, achieving the objectives and skills set at the beginning of the courses. The students have worked on specific, individual or cooperative projects, in which they have faced real problems in the context of service-learning, stimulating their critical thinking, communication, problem solving abilities, with a more practical and tangible dimension. Conclusion(s) The pandemic has accelerated the implementation of an Education 5.0 project, making teachers use resources that some but not all had used previously to promote effective and quality teaching. Combining the new technological tools with traditional educational methodologies helps teachers to achieve their teaching outcomes in a more effective way without losing sight to prepare students for lifelong learning far beyond the digital.
