Professional Practice and Biopsychosocial Repercussions of High School Teachers Because of Confinement in Hidalgo, Mexico
Abstract
The objective of this research was to learn about the adaptations in the professional practice of high school teachers from the change in educational paradigm due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects on their biopsychosocial health. To achieve this, a qualitative, descriptive and interpretive methodology was used, supported by an in-depth interview and institutional analysis also called school ethnography. The results were presented as a "novel" constructed from the participant's narration. It was revealed that the change in the educational paradigm represented a challenge for teachers in various fields, since the implementation of the online modality generated an overload of work and forced teachers and students to acquire the means to continue with classes remotely. Teachers' and students' privacy was exposed by converting their homes into the new school classrooms and fear of being mocked arose. The results also showed the presence or aggravation of various biopsychosocial conditions: lower back pain, sleep problems, excessive stress and mental exhaustion. This research can be considered as a sample of what other members of the teaching profession in Mexico and the world have experienced.
