Remote teaching in the pandemic: Opportunities for a transformative learning

Main Article Content
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has reinforced remote teaching (RT) as a trend in management education. This research reflects on the central elements that make RT a transformative learning (TL) experience, based on a case study of a TL-anchored sustainability discipline that was migrated to RL during the pandemic. Theoretically, we propose a framework or reference that combines TL, education for sustainability (EfS), and communicative ecosystem (CE) theories; we also extend the concept of RL, coining the term ‘transformative remote teaching’ (TRT). With regard to practice, students’ feedback points to three elements that are key for TRT: exploring different windows of knowledge; rethinking the teaching role; and adapting tools to support the teaching-learning process. We conclude by highlighting the need to approach education in ways anchored in epistemological, paradigmatic, and transformative changes.
