ABSTRACT
A B S T R A C T The 2nd The COVID wave forced Paraguayan educational institutions to deprive themselves of face-to-face schooling and/or mix it with virtuality. Teaching and evaluation methods would adopt the distance education modality and its variants.

Objective:

To describe and compare the perceptions of teachers, of the three levels, about the impact on their educational work and the management of prevention behaviors during the 1st. and 2nd. Wave of the pandemic.

Method:

In a non -experimental, descriptive-exploratory, cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was applied to 300 Paraguayan teachers of all levels to measure the impact, changes, and consequences of restrictive measures in teaching, self-efficacy, and risk behaviors.

Results:

In Second. Ola, self-efficacy (t=5.430, p=0.000) and risk (cigarette, alcohol, prescription drug use) worsened (f=54.132, p=0.000). Increase pessimistic attitude. (f=19.525, p=0.000). Deteriorated professional profile, due to less training (f=84.322, p=0.000), increased hours (f=290.409, p=0.000), and more excessive work (f=9.948, p=0.002). Educational bureaucracy interferes with teacher and student performance (f=19.758, p=0.000). Demands to virtualize classes discourage more in this 2nd. Wave (f=5.045, p=0.025). Carelessness with health measures, intentional health misinformation (f=142.886, p=0.000), the decrease in hygiene measures (f=71.074, p=0.000) and restrictive measures (f=71.166, p=0.000) are of concern. The desist from implementing these measures is expressed (f=20. 347, p=0.000) at the end of the restriction.

Conclusion:

By reducing the use of coping and resilience strategies, greater difficulties in teaching and risks of outbreaks are foreseeable. It is important to reinforce self-effective prevention strategies and actions in teachers and educational communities before the return to attendance.
