BARRIERS TO LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC FOR STUDENTS OF SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION IN TIMES OF CORONAVIRUS, AT THE UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA METROPOLITANA-XOCHIMILCO, MEXICO

Abstract

The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has strongly impacted the entire life of world society particularly that of Mexico. All fields of social life were affected especially the health and education systems. The lives of students in general, and in particular of the students of the X trimester of the Sociology career of the UAM-X were altered, impacting their academic learning, as well as the other manifestations of their social life. The narrative of some of these students who participated in the research is a revelation of their positive and/or negative experiences caused by this new reality. These same experiences show us how unprepared the national education system was to deal with a circumstance such as the pandemic and in particular, most teachers of the Sociology career at the UAM to face this new educational modality: virtual education.
