Abstract:

Last year’s global health crisis has drastically change the teaching-learning processes at all educative levels. In the Spanish educational system, as in the rest of the world, this fact has meant the change from face-to-face to remote learning. In light of this new situation, learning process needs to develop news activities and roles for students and teachers. Both of them must assume new skills that affect concepts and attitudes about teaching and learning process, but in the framework of traditional training projects.

It implicates a collaborative work between students and teacher. In this sense, teachers should choose the suitable methodologies for achieving the learning objectives, in the framework of academic profile and characteristics of professional training in skills. But in addition they must realise the structural and organizational conditions to do these activities (remote learning, the use of new technologies, etc.).

This paper describes the author experience in designing learning methodologies to teach a social science, accounting, at Business Administration Degree in a technical University (Polytechnic University of Valencia) in a context of lockdown. First, we describe the methodology designed to adapt the course from in-person to on-line classes. Then, we analyse the main challenges and difficulties founded. And, finally, we present the assessment results and the conclusions obtained from their comparison with those of previous and following academic years.
