Google Classroom: educational application as a learning environment in rural areas in contexts of COVID-19
tecnologia educacional, informática educativa, enseñanza asistida por ordenador
The objective was to analyze the impact of the Google Classroom digital platform on teachers and students in rural areas in Ecuador and to corroborate whether the pedagogical tools it offers were able to fully or partially replace face-to-face classes. We worked methodologically from a descriptive scope with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. 34% of the students claim to understand the activities. These data assert that a considerable number of students do not understand the requests of the teachers reflected in the platform in most situations, which prompts to suggest a greater effort on the part of the institution to find new ways to promote cognitive learning among the student body. A proposal is presented with corrective actions for the institutions that have already implemented the system, and preventive actions for the establishments that plan to do so in the future.
