Education in the context of the pandemic

Challenges and possibilities for development

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted educational development in the context of the Department of Arauca, as well as the pedagogical practice of primary and secondary basic education teachers, with special
emphasis on the public educational institution "Filipinas" located in the municipality of Tame, in the Department of Arauca, Colombia, which is made up of a rural population. From the theoretical perspective, it was based on the contributions of Rivas (2020) with reference to the pedagogy of excellence; the emerging pedagogy Adell and Castañeda (2012); pedagogical strategies, Picardo, Balmore, and Escobar (2004);
teaching strategies, Monereo (1999), the massification of connectivity based on mobile Internet and the increase of more accessible digital devices, Trucco and Palma (2020). Based on the above, the following question arose: What are the challenges facing education in the department of Arauca, Colombia in the context of the pandemic, as well as its possibilities for development? It concludes that in the framework of new educational proposals, derived from the educational model that the situation of both the pandemic and what could be considered as the post-pandemic, virtuality is privileged and in this sense, teaching strategies acquire great importance; which
are designed with the purpose of solving problems related to educational practice and involve a planning process in which the establishment of sequences of actions is produced, with a flexible character and are oriented towards an end that is to be achieved.
