Un cambio de planes
A change of plans
Autora: Dayanna Mireya Mogrovejo Ávila (Unidad Educativa Técnico Salesiano)
Resumen
Los objetivos de este artículo son exponer la situación que estamos viviendo desde el punto de vista de una estudiante y demostrar si el sistema educativo está listo para ser trasladado a una forma virtual; si se puede o no romper fronteras. Se realizó una investigación sobre los cambios que se vivieron con la educación virtual, algo que no estaba previsto y que, sin embargo, cambió la vida de no solo de una ciudad, provincia o país, sino del mundo entero. Todos teníamos planes a largo plazo, pero simplemente tomaron otro rumbo. El famoso coronavirus transformó la vida a todas las personas. La situación de estudiantes, docentes hasta incluso padres de familia cambió por completo pues la educación ahora sería virtual y un nuevo problema surgió [1], [2]. ¿Qué es lo que sucede con aquellos que no tienen una computadora o Internet en su domicilio? Sus oportunidades no son iguales a las de los demás; los padres de familia no estaban listos para esta nueva modalidad, muchos no han cursado una secundaria y no saben cómo ayudar a sus hijos. Y el problema no acaba ahí pues la Región Costa y Galápagos tenían que iniciar su nuevo ciclo escolar con cierto atraso y aún les cuesta mucho acostumbrarse. Muchas metas, sueños y aspiraciones se estancaron o se encontraron ante otra realidad. A partir de todos estos puntos mencionados se aplicará el método deductivo para expresar nuestros sentimientos como estudiantes al vivir esta situación.
Palabras clave: covid-19, educación virtual, estudiantes, docentes, padres de familia, sueños.
Abstract
The objectives of this article are to present the situation we are experiencing from a student’s point of view and to demonstrate whether the education system is ready to be transferred to a virtual format; whether or not it is possible to break down barriers. Research was conducted on the changes that occurred with virtual education, something that was not anticipated and yet changed the lives of not only a city, province, or country, but the entire world. We all had long-term plans, but they simply took a different turn. The infamous coronavirus transformed everyone’s lives. The situation of students, teachers, and even parents changed completely, as education would now be virtual, and a new problem arose [1], [2]. What about those who do not have a computer or Internet at home? Their opportunities are not the same as those of others; parents were not ready for this new modality, many have not attended high school and do not know how to help their children. And the problem does not end there, as the Coast and Galapagos regions had to start their new school year somewhat late and are still struggling to adjust. Many goals, dreams, and aspirations have stalled or been confronted with a new reality. Based on all of the above points, we will use the deductive method to express our feelings as students experiencing this situation.
Keywords: COVID-19, virtual education, students, teachers, parents, dreams.
