ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN ONLINE EDUCATION IN TIMES OF PANDEMICS

Abstract:

The objective of the research was to analyze the active methodologies and technological applications in the teaching-learning process in the transition from face-to-face to virtual, carried out as a consequence of the COVID-19 health emergency, in the educational institutions of Zone 1, 2, and 5 of Ecuador. The research focused on a quantitative study, under a descriptive exploratory study, based on a non-experimental design. The survey technique was applied by means of an online questionnaire to intentionally selected groups of pre-school, elementary, middle and high school educational institutions. The results showed that the active methodologies applied in education in times of COVID-19, in the educational institution of the initial, basic, middle and higher levels; executed from the internet, and with applications that are offered free of charge on the web guarantee the quality of education. Likewise, in Ecuadorian education the active methodology is applied, based on the resolution of projects, followed by collaborative and cooperative work. Likewise, teachers claim that students need communication skills and teamwork; in addition, they require continuous training, since this type of methodologies are mostly applicable in the face-to-face modality.
