Multimodal education in El Salvador: past, present and future of teaching-learning processes

Authors

Abstract

Faced with the educational challenges generated by the COVID-19 pandemic in Central America and specifically in El Salvador, the governments of the region implemented emergency actions to achieve educational continuity in a remote environment. This context accelerated the processes of digitalization, adoption of new and innovative educational strategies and proposed the critical path of a new pedagogical model. In this framework, the notions of multimodality, hybrid education and blended learning emerge. This process has been full of challenges, but the Salvadoran experience demonstrates how the ability to adapt in times of uncertainty is key to the reconversion and improvement of education.
