Sistema Educativo y actuación ante la pandemia de la COVID-19: opinión y perspectivas de mejora según los docentes

Abstract

The objective of this work was to know the opinion of the pre-school, primary and secondary education teachers about their situation and that of the students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, carrying out a series of recommendations to improve in future similar cases. A questionnaire was passed to assess the Responsibility of the students (PSRQ, α = .932), as well as two ad hoc questionnaires, to assess the teacher's perception of the attitude of the students prior to the pandemic (OASBP, α =. 910) and general management during the pandemic (MPES, α = .884). The results indicated that prior to the pandemic, students had shares of personal and social responsibility similar to those of previous studies, but decreased during confinement with less committed attitudes towards the teacher, especially in the Secondary stage. In addition, during the pandemic, the teachers perceived that the most relevant was the lack of training and resources for families in the use of ICT, together with the lack of support from the administration to the centers. The importance of providing the students with technological and training means was highlighted, as well as working on education in values and the autonomy of the students. Finally, the majority of teachers indicated that they would be willing to train in active methodologies and ICT even if this would involve an extra effort. It is recommended that administrations bet on increasing teacher training in the use of ICT and methodologies to promote autonomy, as well as training courses for students and families in tele-training, together with the possibility of carrying out campaigns or collections of technological material for families most disadvantaged.
