Abstract

This doctoral thesis focuses on the study of communication as the backbone of the teaching-learning process, more specifically, on how different communicative models are adopted depending on the teaching methodology to be applied.

In this way, this work compares the higher education model in Spain and Finland in the field of Communication to examine how these competences are implemented in universities in both countries.The theoretical framework is based on the consolidation of the European Higher Education Area in Spain and Finland. The technological advances that condition the lifestyle of citizens in the European Union are analysed to subsequently investigate how the use of technology affects the application of active methodologies at university.
