Rol de la familia en la educación virtual del nivel inicial

Abstract

The pandemic severely widened the education gap worldwide and particularly in Ecuador. As is known, the educational institutions of the different levels were affected, they suspended the face-to-face modality and implemented virtuality. This situation led the families to assume the role of support and control to the students in a direct way. Hence, this work analyzes the integration strategies used institutionally to promote the participation of families in virtual education at the initial level. The information was collected through a broad theoretical study, considering that it is a qualitative research of descriptive level and; It was analyzed using the Atlas ti 9.0 software. The data reveal that parents have difficulties to adequately support the education of their children or represented. It is also found that a high number of schoolchildren remain alone in their homes during the day or accompanied by older adults and even siblings, due to the fact that adults are involved in work activities. What has been described, leads to conclude that the deficient support of parents to schoolchildren in virtual education processes significantly affects their learning and consequently their comprehensive training.
