ABSTRACT
The purpose of the work is to explore the perception of undergraduate students, at a Mexican university, about their school performance in the context of the pandemic. An online questionnaire was designed with open ques-tions that explore the student's perception of the distance modality in their learning process, considering their material living conditions. The sampling was non-probabilistic of self-selection, with the participation of 417 stu-dents. For the analysis, the predefined categories on health status, experiences and personal difficulties in so-cial distancing, experiences from the past semester, proposals for improvement, and difficulties that may affect performance in the new semester were used. The results show that those students capable of satisfactorily ma-naging their learning process perceive their material living conditions, and personal and family health as "good". Among the perceived complications are the Internet service and the sharing of devices or spaces.
ABSTRACT
This study describes the experience of teachers during the COVID-19 lockdown. The research explores the perceptions of public university teachers in Mexico regarding the problems and challenges they faced due to the transformation of their job, from face-to-face teaching to remote education, throughout the "healthy distancing" period of the first half of 2020. The teachers were sent an online questionnaire of open-ended and closed-ended questions. Their responses indicate an increase in their academic workload, especially in terms of the review of homework and projects, and special sessions to explain content. The teachers mentioned feeling more tired and even frustrated during the lockdown, yet they recognized certain strengths of distance education;in particular, it generated their reflection on the need to redesign content, depending on the educational setting. © 2022 Consejo Mexicano de Investigacion Educativa.
