Family Parents’ Perspective of Different Social-Economical Statuses about the Online and Offline Classes during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This research work aimed to characterize the perception of parents of educational institutions of various socioeconomic strata of Barranquilla-Colombia about the teaching of classes in the synchronous and asynchronous mode in times of Covid-19. With a qualitative approach and an interpretative-hermeneutical design, 6 parents were chosen and an unstructured interview was applied in which aspects such as connectivity, strategies used by teachers and interaction with them during the pandemic were addressed. The main finding was that parents who are enrolled in low-income institutions agree that they do not have the guarantees for their children to receive a quality education under the modality at home; For their part, the parents who have their children enrolled in a high socioeconomic level assure that despite the fact that educational institutions have resources to teach the contents of the areas of knowledge, their attendants were demotivated by the new modality of teaching.
