description 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.

La metodología empleada consistió en una encuesta personal realizada a principios de 2019 y posteriormente en 2023. Los principales hallazgos indican que el aprendizaje presencial es percibido como altamente interactivo y útil para el desarrollo de competencias transversales de carácter grupal o social. Por otro lado, el aprendizaje online se asocia a beneficios como la flexibilidad para las horas de estudio, una mayor autonomía y un ritmo de estudio propio, pese a que conlleva una sensación de aislamiento. Además, se le atribuyen al aprendizaje online competencias transversales de tipo individual como el trabajo autónomo y la adquisición de habilidades informáticas. En cuanto al aprendizaje semipresencial, tanto en términos de percepción como de utilidad para el desarrollo de competencias transversales, no sobresale ningún aspecto particular. Resulta de relevancia destacar que estos resultados se han mantenido constantes, antes y después de la pandemia de COVID-19.Este artigo procura analisar as perceções e as competências transversais que os estudantes universitários associam à aprendizagem presencial, mista e em linha, antes e depois da pandemia de COVID-19. A metodologia utilizada consistiu num inquérito presencial realizado no início de 2019 e posteriormente em 2023. As principais conclusões indicam que a aprendizagem presencial é vista como altamente interativa e útil para o desenvolvimento de competências transversais de natureza grupal ou social. Por outro lado, a aprendizagem em linha está associada a benefícios como a flexibilidade nos horários de estudo, uma maior autonomia e o estudo ao ritmo do próprio estudante, embora traga consigo uma sensação de isolamento. Além disso, a aprendizagem em linha é atribuída a competências individuais transversais, como o trabalho autónomo e a aquisição de conhecimentos informáticos. Quanto à aprendizagem mista, tanto em termos de perceção como de utilidade para o desenvolvimento de competências transversais, não se destaca nenhum aspeto em particular. É de salientar que estes resultados se mantiveram constantes, tanto antes como depois da pandemia de COVID-19.Universidad ORT Uruguay2025-06-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/cuadernos-de-investigacion-educativa/article/view/403210.18861/cied.2025.16.2.4032http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11968/7574Cuadernos de Investigación Educativa; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2025)Cuadernos de Investigación Educativa; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2025)Cuadernos de Investigación Educativa; v. 16 n. 2 (2025)1688-93041510-243210.18861/cied.2025.16.2reponame:RADinstname:Universidad ORT Uruguayinstacron:Universidad ORTspahttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/cuadernos-de-investigacion-educativa/article/view/4032/4535https://revistas.ort.edu.uy/cuadernos-de-investigacion-educativa/article/view/4032/4561https://revistas.ort.edu.uy/cuadernos-de-investigacion-educativa/article/view/4032/4562http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:rad.ort.edu.uy:20.500.11968/75742026-06-16T04:12:17Z
