Abstract

Education after the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 virus laid held of a complete turn from face-to-face education to a virtual educational process, in which the actors involved have faced many challenges of this new modality. The purpose of the work is to study the social and individual roles of parents and their impact on the online learning of their children in the time of pandemic in the communities of La Merced and Punta Corral of the Tur community of the Cuenca canton, in the school year 2019 - 2020. The research is based on a qualitative approach under a descriptive multiple case study methodological design. The subjects investigated were parents, their children and teachers of the two communities. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through discourse analysis at the discursive, narrative and semantic levels. Among the main results we found that the dimensions of individual roles such as: the accompaniment of parents in education, learning feedback and the physical and digital resources used, are those that have had the greatest impact on the learning process of children. Likewise, the dimensions of social roles: economic situation of the home, educational status of the parents and involvement in the educational process, became influential in the learning process of the children, but with a lower level of incidence.
