Comparative Study Between México and Colombia of Teaching Practices in Rural Contexts in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
Latin American rural education has been characterized by a series of inequities; it was not the exception during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the objective of this work is to describe the practices of Mexican and Colombian rural teachers and investigate the main challenges and successes of teaching strategies. The study is descriptive qualitative in nature, based on interviews with 10 rural K-12 teachers from Colombia and Mexico. The interview script was validated by expert judgment using the content validity ratio. While the choice of the sample was for convenience. Content analysis was used to interpret the data using the MAXQDA 2022 software. The results show an inequity in access to technologies, internet services, as well as an increase in educational lag. The teaching strategies were characterized by printed guides and asynchronous monitoring through platforms such as WhatsApp. One of the methodological successes was the personalized advice on site. Teachers express the development of digital skills, communication, and design of strategies for remote work in rural schools.
