Resumen

COVID-19 has caused global changes in the way of teaching and learning. Some experiences have shown that the reopening of universities will be done with small groups of students and with a smaller number of face-to-face classes per group. The forms of teaching and learning that began as emergency formulas may become the new pedagogical normality in the current and future context. The article shows the results of the comparative experience of the implementation of the Nursing Care in Mental Health course in two types of b-Learning modalities. The study was experimental with 156 students in two groups: 2019 (pre COVID-19) called Type-1 and 2021 (during COVID-19) called Type-2. The students were evaluated through instruments that considered theoretical learning and practical skills. We also evaluated user satisfaction considering the items of the European Foundation for Quality in e-Learning () and the Sustainable Environment for the Evaluation of Quality in e-Learning (SEQUEL). Results demonstrated that the b-Learning Type-1 modality was more effective than the b-Learning Type-2 modality. The implementation improved the learning process by 66.7% and practical skills by 88.5%. The implementation of the course was favorable and the students showed a high degree of satisfaction with a result of 82.1% The results validate that the b-Learning modality is effective, especially when there is a greater number of virtual hours and active methodologies, it is also important to consider international quality standards.
