Abstract

Ecuadorian teachers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and from the suspension of classes, have had to maintain the continuity of pedagogical work under the online modality to safeguard the health of students. The following research seeks to know the perceptions of teachers about online learning in the current emerging situation as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.This research used an exploratory-descriptive level approach, which was carried out through a questionnaire that has a total of 69 items (65 multiple-choice and 4 openended). The participants were 52 Secondary Education teachers. Respondents state that their role focuses only on students with internet access, the lack of connectivity is the main problem and this is followed by not maintaining direct contact with students since it is not possible to easily evidence achievements and mistakes. In relation to the above and to the needs of the current digital world, this research will also contribute to the educational community to know how important it is for teachers to be trained and possess the necessary digital skills to correctly incorporate ICTs in the educational field. Greater attention is required to the challenges that teachers face in the face of the pandemic and it is essential to support them in adjusting their professional work.
