Challenges on teaching of Management through blended education

Abstract

This study analyzes the challenges of blended education (BL) of Management from teachers’ perspective. We conducted semi-structured interviews with seven university professors with experience in traditional, distance and BL modalities. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. Our findings suggest that universities predisposed to adopt the BL seek better-trained teachers, with knowledge and skills on digital platforms and open to new technologies. Our findings evidence that teachers can use alternative, less-complex and less-expensive platforms to interact with students and encourage them to be active in the BL environment. Finally, motivated, autonomous, disciplined and committed learners are expected in BL environments.
