Reflections on the socio-psychological aspects of synchronous online teaching(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021) Ochsner, Andrea; Domenech, Josep; Merello, Paloma; de la Poza, ElenaOnline technologies provide a myriad of new teaching and learning methods, and while those new technologies have a lot of advantages, the rapid change from face-to-face to online teaching and distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has made certain disadvantages visible, too.

This model seeks to explain the behavior of individuals, especially in business contexts, through reference to numerical or relative values extrapolated from empirical data on the level of individual countries for a specific number of abstract variables that are supposedly connected with fundamental questions of social organization. This paradigm has enjoyed considerable favour in the area of intercultural studies, especially in the area of training, but in recent years it has also been subject to sustained critique from academics who have raised fundamental objections to its theoretical foundations, its methodology, its conclusions, and its claims to practical relevance. The current paper summarizes these objections and considers their01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
