¿La pandemia nos regresó a la escuela tradicional?.

Abstract

Social interactions were disrupted during the pandemic; therefore, we focus on providing answers to curricular demands and forget one of the main objectives of school: relating to others. Thus, contact with students was limited to receiving e-mails containing their completed assignments, making it very difficult to establish a teacher-student relationship like before the pandemic. Socialization within the school context transformed into a discursive space where the student had no participation, becoming a passive agent expected only to submit assignments on time and be obedient. Therefore, the teacher, unintentionally, became the sole actor deciding about the academic process, and their opinion turned into almost absolute law and truth, evoking aspects of the traditional school. This is the reason why after the health emergency, the academic process must tend towards providing students with tools that facilitate the creation of encounter and interaction spaces that promote tolerance towards the difference.
