Abstract
GASTELUM-ESCALANTE, Jorge and LEON SANTIESTEBAN, Martín. Remote teaching or virtual education. Dilemma of Mexican institutions of higher education. Apert. (Guadalaj., Jal.) [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.2, pp.24-39. Epub May 22, 2023. ISSN 2007-1094. https://doi.org/10.32870/ap.v14n2.2223.
This article analyzes the impact that covid-19 caused among university professors of higher education institutions in 19 states of Mexico in their capacity to sustain distance education processes, as well as their willingness to use technical resources to supply the classroom education. This research is of a comparative and exploratory nature and follows the hypothesis that closing these institutions, as a containment measure in the face of the pandemic, urged the deployment of educational solutions based on digital technologies, which surprised the teachers, who did not have the necessary preparation or financial and technological resources, and without institutional help. As part of the methodology, systematic documentation was used, which allowed to frame the topic explored, and the survey, whose data confirm the information previously found. As part of the results, it is reported that the objective was met, and the hypothesis confirmed.
Keywords : Universities; teachers; remote teaching; virtual educational model; digital technology.
