Distance Education teacher training: a contribution from universities to overcome the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic: Un aporte de las universidades para superar las consecuencias de la pandemia

Abstract

This document has been elaborated from a hermeneutic research process focused on the critical-constructive reading of different publications referred to the role that universities can play to overcome the impact of the pandemic in education. As a way of containing the expansion of Covid-19, conventional educational institutions assumed the distance modality without the educational actors being aware of the theory-practice of this modality. More than two years have passed and it is necessary to leave the contingency modality to access the planning modality. This presupposes the training of a teacher who, through his or her performance, demonstrates the efficiency and relevance of Distance Education (DE). Consequently, it is proposed that the universities responsible for the qualification of teaching professionals build and develop a curricular reform.
