Resignificación del trabajo y la práctica docente en educación superior a la luz de la crisis por el virus SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract

This reflection article is the result of the research project “Work and teaching practice in higher education. Narratives and stories from the actors in pandemic times”. This text was created by a group of professors from the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPN)-Ajusco, Mexico. We undertook the task of analyzing and accounting for how we had faced, transformed and modified our work and teaching practice in the context of the sars-cov-2 virus pandemic. We use the narrative as the methodological and reflective scaffolding and Freire’s theoretical concepts to understand the common elements faced during this process. We also concluded that education should be a liberalizing instrument, as well as an autonomy builder. In the meantime, we reorganized our work and teaching practice based on the construction of a dialogic relationship, where we recognized ourselves as active subjects, who must be permanently modifying or transforming, themselves not depending on the market but on the needs of those who participate in the process of teaching and learning. With these bases, we elaborate a proposal for a unique program that adapts to different subjects. We modify the banking practice changes for a reflective teaching practice, where we jointly construct the objectives and the purposes of the courses. From our daily work, and with the use of technologies, we deconstructed the traditional and face-to-face class and built an interaction with the students in a different and dialogical way. Basically, we re-signified our teaching work.
