ABSTRACT

This article deals with the concept of transmedia learning, which has emerged from Jenkins’ approaches, with an important echo on cultural approaches, research and education. Transmedia educational experiences cause interest in the scientific community; however, it is difficult to find a univocal understanding of transmedia learning. Therefore, this research aims to address the conceptual background of transmedia educational practices through a systematic literature review. The research process starts with the searching of keywords referring to transmedia learning and without time limitation, with 38 documents yielded in the initial search. After following the PRISMA guidelines, the process ends with 24 documents that have been qualitatively analysed in depth using NVivo 12. Among the main results obtained, it is highlighted that transmedia learning, from a narrative, allows us to concretize the pedagogical principles of constructivism or connectivism in proposals that are motivating for students and in a relatively personalized way that is close to their daily lives. However, its integration into teaching-learning processes is complex due to the large number of factors that must be considered.

RESUMEN

Este artículo aborda el concepto de aprendizaje transmedia, surgido a partir de los planteamientos de Jenkins, con un importante eco cultural y educativo. Las experiencias educativas transmediáticas causan interés en la comunidad científica; no obstante, resulta difícil encontrar una comprensión unívoca del concepto. De acuerdo esto, la presente investigación se propone abordar el trasfondo conceptual de las prácticas educativas transmediáticas mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Este proceso empieza con las palabras clave referentes al aprendizaje transmedia y sin ninguna limitación temporal que arroja 38 documentos en la búsqueda inicial. Después de seguir las orientaciones de la declaración PRISMA, el proceso acaba con 24 documentos han analizados cualitativamente mediante el programa NVivo. Entre los resultados se destaca principalmente que el aprendizaje transmedia permite, a partir de una narrativa, concretar algunos principios pedagógicos propios del constructivismo o del conectivismo en propuestas que resultan motivadoras para el alumnado. Sin embargo, su integración en los procesos de enseñanza- aprendizaje resulta compleja debido al amplio número de factores que hay que tener en cuenta.
