Learning Guides as Teaching Strategies Mediated by ICT in Remote Education in Times of Confinement

Abstract

This study reveals the problem of remote education in the Minuto de Dios Educational Institution, in the municipality of Los Córdobas, in Colombia, both for students and teachers in times of confinement. The objective is to highlight the fundamental components that needed to be included in learning guides as teaching strategies mediated by ICT for remote education, specifically for the Minuto de Dios Educational Institution in the municipality of Los Córdoba, with the aim of facilitating the development of skills and abilities of students at basic primary school during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, a quantitative methodology, a descriptive analytical study, and a tool from the Learning Guide of the Ministry of Education were applied. The target population of the study were the seven teachers at the basic primary school of the educational institution already mentioned. The results highlighted the capacity that the participating teachers had to develop learning guides. Furthermore, the diversity of technological resources and the need to use educational materials that enabled the continuity of the teaching-learning process at home –a situation forced by the confinement due to the health crisis of COVID-19– are emphasized.
