Estrategias educativas desarrolladas por docentes rurales de Colombia y México durante el cierre de escuelas derivado de la covid-19.

Abstract

The objective of this article is to identify the strategies developed by rural teachers in Colombia and Mexico during the period of school closures resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. The data comes from a survey conducted in 2020 with 58 teachers in Colombia and 194 educators, including educational figures involved in rural education in Mexico. The results indicate that, faced with limited internet connectivity and the absence of technological devices, rural teachers implemented a series of strategies, including printing materials with their own resources and providing in-person support to rural students. In Mexico, educational programs broadcasted on open television channels were utilized by 40% of the surveyed teachers. However, in the case of Colombian teachers, the use of educational TV programs was nearly nonexistent.
