Representaciones sociales sobre escuela de niños y niñas en la pandemia COVID-19: perspectivas urbanas y rurales

Abstract

This research work focused on investigating and analysing the way in which primary school students from rural and urban contexts perceived school from the experience of the pandemic, since, as teachers, we found that there were great implications for this sector of the population in terms of the new ways in which the fact of "being in school" should be assumed. The research had a qualitative-interpretative approach that allowed a critical understanding of the findings in the collection of information. This collection was carried out through techniques such as structured interviews, graphic supports and free association together with the associative letter proposed from the perspective of Jean Claude Abric. It was found that the pandemic made students perceive school as an institution that evidently continues to be normative and protagonist of the education process, but also a fundamental part of the care and social relationships that girls and boys seek and build in the face-to-face environment.
