HIGHER EDUCATION IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC AND ITS REALITY IN ECUADOR

Universities and study centers have been forced to change their teaching methodology due to the threat posed by COVID-19 in Ecuador. The impact on the family economy has had a direct impact on university students, making it difficult for them to acquire basic resources for university development and the acquisition of knowledge for the training of future professionals. The stoppage and extensive confinement have led the Higher Education Institution (IES) to promote actions to resist the economic impacts of the temporary or partial closure of the universities. E-learning has been an essential tool for the continuity of university studies, with the help of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It is noteworthy that currently, Ecuador presents a series of factors that affect the development of education in higher education. That is why this work focuses on analyzing and determining the potential factors or causes that slow down the development of university education in times of COVID-19 through the use and analysis of the Delphi method.
