A LOOK TO THE STUDENTS OF THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ON EDUCATION IN ECUADOR IN TIMES OF COVID-19

This work is based on a descriptive quantitative methodology, based on the development and application of an instrument made up of four modules: general characterization of the student body, socioeconomic characterization of the student's family environment, perception of the current online training and educational context, and assessment of the experience lived during this confinement process. The main results confirm the existence of a gap in access, use and competence with respect to technological devices. Furthermore, this emergency modality and its evaluation system are perceived by students as more demanding than the face-to-face system and imply a radical change for which they were not prepared, both with respect to the use of platforms and the lack of knowledge about digital pedagogy.
